I purchasesd the 25watt leixon note last month, don't keep whip to close to your face when you transmit.lol. . It even scratches the tv singnal when trying it in the house, but dam it's pretty strong..
Told a buddy across town to turn on his radio, he has the little cheap Costco ones, and he said he heard me nice and clear.. Was 12 miles apart in a city
My 10 watt radios zastone and 889g are easy to program and I like the Gps on 889, but the big leixon note is a different league of distance.. It's only uhf for now, talk of a dual band to come out soon..16 inch whip
