Just about anything around $ 100 or less is a 'throw-away' when it quits on you
if you can not fix it yourself. It will often cost that much for any repair.
A
few years back a local called about getting the dial lights replaced on a
transceiver and that was around $ 50 not counting the shipping.
Several in the local club have the dual band (144/440) versions and like them.
Only negative thing I have seen is that while you are transmitting on one band,
you can not receive on the other band at the same time.
They do say to get the softwear programming and cable to make it easy.

I had one in my hands last week at a Hamfest in Gainsville, Texas. They are
quite impressive. I have a strong hunch they are "throw-away" in nature when
they die. Time will tell. If I needed a dual bander for ham use, I would give
one a try.
