Purchased this radio about 2 months ago and overall it is an impressive radio for the price. However one glitch it has is when receiving a transmission from local repeaters and simplex, the first syllable is cut out before the rest of the transmission is heard. I have the battery save mode (menu option 3) set to Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Yeah well it's better than the 5rm that one was a real piece of shit compared to this one it does not drift at least like the 5 RM does upon receiving and I also use this for Murs as well so I don't use any ham crap at all I just use it for tactical purposes
I have 2 of the 17's and yes they are worse than all 8 of my uv5r's, the second harmonic is way above the limit. it is too bad too, the radio is pretty good, but only usable as reciever on 2 meter but 70cm it is fine
Excellent review. Be looking forward for more of your content
Thanks mate

How did you unlock it? What is PPW?

Probably has bad spurious emissions/harmonics like most China stuff.
