The main reason which made ​​me buy this transceiver, has been its low cost reported to available modes (CW, SSB, FM), providing me the possibility to start working in digital modes without quit the CW and the "relatively" high power (abt. 15 W - 20 W PEAK in SSB) for an equipment which is intended for CB traffic, where the power limit is 4 watts.

As a CB transceiver, the things are good, mainly because once the radio channels are already configured, is very easy to use it. It also performs very well in radio traffic, both at RX as well as TX, with up to 4 W in a simple CB antenna, mounted on the car's roof.
