"Box is just plain white."
I've noticed the boxes tend to evolve overtime. Given their origins in Asia, I think the flashier boxes should be called Gangnam Style.
"The power leads are tinned at the end, makes for a nice connection."
That's a nice touch. He continues to say that display seems okay and the dials worked well. There were a couple of concerns on the audio side: receiving audio is noisy even when full quieting and transmitted audio is lower after a pause in speaking (problem with automatic gain control?).
I look forward to his future posts about the AT-588UV.
If you missed some of the previous information about the radio:
- In July, Ed suggests the Anytone may be a much better option than the Wouxun UV-920R.
- He gives an update in September with expected pricing and features.
- And soon follows up with more details.
This is more interesting than his original post:

Sounds like a fail to me, I hope they'll fix it.
