This radio works great, 55W on VHF, 40W on UHF, it allowed me to upload the actual 325,000 DMR ID data base and now I can see who I am talking with, the received audio is high enough and clear, transmit audio is excellent as well, its small, it won't take much space in your car,programming is very easy using the provided cable and the Alinco CPS downloadable at their webpage. So far I have not had any issue with its performance
