Solid Front End. No useless bells and whistles. Good strong Xmit Receive Audio. Built well. No Baofeng here. Simple Tough 2m HT. Great Battery life too. IC-V86 good deal.

First things first......I paid under $100 for this thing straight from MTC radio. After receiving it (in less than 4 days) I opened the box to find all kinds of extras for my money. It comes with a huge battery and a desk charger. BNC connector for the antenna is a plus in my book and I'm glad to see it. With very little experimenting I was able to program it with the front panel and no software. Now things got even better. The sound coming from this little speaker is LOUD!!!!! I mean hurt your ears LOUD!!! The quality of sound is superb. The Receiver is HOT!!!! I don't know what Icom did differently this time, but on 2 meters this thing will receive things that my Kenwood TH-D74A will not. Couple all of this with a monoband antenna and 7 watts, and you have an EDC radio for even the most experienced ham

Fits great in your hand and the audio is outstanding.

This may be the best two meter HT I have ever owned. The 7 watts means the difference between scratchy and not scratchy into repeaters in many cases. The receive audio is by far the loudest and clearest of any HT I have ever owned. Do yourself a favor and get one of these while the price is ridiculously low.
