A working Baofeng cable works too. **Q: How many watts is this radio? Amazon website only says "Long Range."** A: It’s a solid 5 watt radio. Has been very good so far. **Q: where can i get replacement parts? I scratched the outer screen cover already, ha, great radio though** A: I did the exact same thing! Radio is okay. Very poor user manual, in my opinion. Must be a really cheap Chinese outer screen cover. :-( I might remove the scratched screen cover and replace it with something of better quality, made in America! A USA company would realize this mistake and send customers a free replacement screen with installation instructions. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Radio funtions and scanning features *by D***O on December 8, 2025* The middle dial works good for channel selection change and scan resuming.
