I don't really care for the way this radio looks when compared to the UV-5R. The silver plastic around the screen makes it look cheap, almost like an old FRS radio or something.
These radios are also being sold on AliExpress as KSUN KS-8R. Warning: Propriety battery (Can't use the cheap batteries or the long/high capacity batteries you can use with UV5R radios and other clones).
I have a couple of the KSUN KS-8R varieties, and while they work well, I've not been able to get hold of software to program them. Setup through the keypad is a real pain where one sits! If anyone can point me to a download site, or any other guidance, I'd be really grateful. Cheers, Ian
