I like the size and design, but this radio must not have much range at all.  I live close to a truck stop.  Over a 3 day period, I asked for several "radio checks" from home (standing outside) and while traveling down the interstate.  I got one response on the interstate.  When I tried to continue the conversation, I got nothing.  I'm assuming he heard me as I was passing him and then he quickly got out of range.  I wanted to like this, but I think the useable range is less than 100 yards.  I sent it back for a refund and ordered a President Andy USA.
