Just got my order today. Shipping went fine no issues, everything arrived as expected and packed well.
Beginner friendly! It comes with a pretty good manual, and there is actually a ton of accessories for this radio including different antennas, head pieces. Very happy purchase!
It operates much better and more like "traditional" amateur radio handhelds now as compared to the earlier gen radios like this.
Overall, as an entry level ham operator you can't really go wrong with this nice little triband radio. Surprisingly, it has nice speaker quality with decent sound quality and good scanning features and storage of frequency capabilities but the menu is a little obtuse sometimes. Once you get over the menu being obnoxious, it's quite a feature packed little radio.
