These are great radios for what they are. All in all I'd give it a "B". The case of the radio and the function there in as compared to others maybe a "C" but the price makes and "A" and the two together land this thing with a positive "B" rating. You are just NOT going to find a 4 watt radio that can do what this radio will do at this price. By the way...you don't have to have the program cable or the software if you are savy at programming these radios but WILL need to watch a You Tube video to pull it off. You will NOT be able to name your channels or assign certain functions without the software and cable. Again, all in all these are great little dual band radios (For The Price) and I'd buy the cable/software anyways just to top off the purchase and get an extra battery, can't go wrong with that at this price!
