I am not sure how legal this radio is, so you might want to get it before it is gone. Talkpod reached out to me and said they fixed the spurious emissions of their older 5-watt model and they wanted me to test this one. GUESS WHAT!! Watch the video to see if it works...

This is a revamp of a video that I posted a few years ago, with a better editing job. This TYT TH-350 Triband HT is still a radio that I carry myself on a regular basis. It still works well and I still have the same model that was featured in the original video, a few years ago.
