Be careful, the manufacturer doesn’t tell you that this radio is not the same as the leading brands. It works OK as a radio and it’s quality looks good, but the scanning function is badly flawed. Firstly there is not 2 sets of memory for the Priority Scan and the Memory Scan, only 1 shared set. OK, can live with that for the price. Here’s the killer, it doesn’t matter how many channels you remove from the scan memory, it still scans all 80 channels, it just won’t stop on the ones that are removed from memory. It was already slower than I'm used to, but that makes it the slowest scanning
UHF radio I have ever seen. I spoke to Keith at Oricom and he tells me there's nothing that can be done about it, I've done my money. I did suggest they need to be a bit more honest with the customers, we'll see. If you like to use the scan function, buy another radio, otherwise it looks OK. I haven't actually installed it yet.
Cheers
Tony (very disappointed)
