Has anyone used this model? I may grab it just because it's so inexpensive. Thanks for posting.
yup. i picked up a net 20+ miles away last summer with an ed fong antenna on one of these. the fm reception is pretty good too. i take this camping. the battery life is great if you're just listening. i don't have a ham license so i don't transmit. i imagine that might chew up a little more battery than just listening in.Has anyone used this model?

Wow. They just keep getting cheaper.
Thanks for posting.
Not having a ham license what happens if you accidentally hit transmit?
