Review: Amazing - I wanted an inexpensive radio to carry with me that would cover 2m Ham, air band, trains, local 911 frequency and Weather, an for an amazingly low price this does it all well!!!

Quite the find! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I did not need another radio but I bought this one anyway *by J***N on May 4, 2024* I'm really liking this radio. USB-C charging, finally. I have connected it to my base station VHF/UHF antenna and checked into the local repeater net no prob. The next night I checked in standing in my front yard with the little antenna it came with. I'm sticking with the stock antenna for now (and I have other antennas) So may frequencies available. I love that I can hear local aviation. (my local CTAF is 123.000) Commercial FM is good. WX is good. I'm keeping all the programable buttons as is . I only use manual programing. Super easy on this radio. (repeater menu numbers are 6 ctcss, 27 offset, 28 +/-) I recommend deleting a channel (menu 3) before saving a channel (menu 2). Naming channels (menu 9) is easy. I like the display and dual watch (menu 27 TDR on/off) is handy. I don't believe there are any channel bank option but that's not a big deal. The battery seems like a beast. For the money the 470X is a ridiculous deal. cons - I have heard there may be some spurious emissions on low and mid pwr 2 meter but I have yet to run into that.
