Purchased this radio about 2 months ago and overall it is an impressive radio for the price. However one glitch it has is when receiving a transmission from local repeaters and simplex, the first syllable is cut out before the rest of the transmission is heard. I have the battery save mode (menu option 3) set to Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Yeah well it's better than the 5rm that one was a real piece of shit compared to this one it does not drift at least like the 5 RM does upon receiving and I also use this for Murs as well so I don't use any ham crap at all I just use it for tactical purposes
I have 2 of the 17's and yes they are worse than all 8 of my uv5r's, the second harmonic is way above the limit. it is too bad too, the radio is pretty good, but only usable as reciever on 2 meter but 70cm it is fine
