Awesome radio, I love it. The only thing negative I can think of about this radio is the programming is a steep learning curve, I think the manufacturer should do more to include a guide to programming with examples, and an explanation of all the program settings in the software. 446shop.com sell KENWOOD KENWOOD TK-2118 TK-3118 Portable Two Way Radio Wireless Ham Radio. $24.95 to $49.99 (5 offers) - Buy Kenwood TK-3160 Radios.
