Perhaps saying that the manual could use some improvements is an understatement!
True, I doubt if I would want it for a motorcycle… but in the Prius, it has been just fine. I did not use any software or other external methods to program it. It was ‘entertaining” to set up various functions. BTW: The time-out timer defaults to 30 seconds. That was the first thing I changed. Fun cheap throw-down rig. I would get another, and most of the eham reviews on it really aren’t that harse. Overall it got 3.2/5.

I don’t need the other bands or modes, just 2 Meters - FM, but mounting the head only would be great. Any recommendations welcome.
