Review: A great little HAM radio for the money - This little radio certainly packs a punch, so much so that I bought another. The GT5R comes preset to only allow receiving and transmission on the HAM radio frequencies giving peace of mind that you won’t fall foul of comms regulations. Bear in mind to transmit on these frequencies you will need to obtain your HAM radio licence, you are fine to listen however licence free. This radio is sturdy, constructed out of tactile textured plastic with rubber buttons. It features a lit LCD screen with customisable colour backlights. The antennas are also customisable to allow you to transmit and receive from further distances if you so wish, however I found the stock antenna to be more than capable. I would recommend watching some tutorial videos online to fully get the most out of your radio. Whilst it works straight out of the box the menus can be confusing without either reading the manual or watching tutorials. In summary I would definitely recommend these radios to anyone interested in HAM radio and for preppers alike.
Review: Incorrect Power supply - This is the 3rd one of these radios I have purchased. The 1st was returned as the battery would not charge. The 2nd had the same issue and after reading previous reviews. I tried a different power supply and this worked. The 3rd radio (this purchase) again arrived with an incorrect power supply. The power supply being sent out with the unit is a 5v output. This needs to be a 10v output. The radio itself has no issue. You would think that the seller would have paid attention to previous reviews that mention the same issue. But clearly not
