So far I like it a lot. I have not used it outside in direct sunlight yet, but I found the screen acceptable in a slightly shaded area. I found programming pretty easy using a Baofeng programming cable with a CH340 Chip and using the GMRS-330 Series CPS Software for a UV-5G Plus. I just could not get it read on Chirp but I didn't mess with it for more than a few minutes. Got a local repeater programmed as well as the local PD and Fire for my town and the next town over that I work in setup in just a few minutes.
While larger than the traditional models, I really like the feel and build of this newer chassis, and that angled PTT button is nice. The larger number pad and traditional phone-style layout are really nice. The speaker is very nice in volume and tone. The included headset is cheap. I need to find a better one. I am still longing for a model with built-in Bluetooth so we can use BT earbuds.
