I had reviewed the GMRS version of this radio which is 5 WATT power rated (until you unlock it) and liked it a lot.
This is the SAME radio, sold as a 10 WATT HAM band radio which is Bluetooth programmable via your phone if you don’t want to use a laptop or computer. Excellent informative COLOR screen, and more ….
