| I have two of them. One in the glove compartment of the work truck and one in the grab bag. They are a basic SW radio. Get the retractable antenna or make one for yourself because the stock antenna sucks. They preform ok. They are not the top of the line for sw receivers but for what you pay you are getting a steal. |
