@Handy Andy , I'll let you know in a couple how it does. I had planned on charging it and taking but now I'll also run it while plugged to the lighter to see what noises come up.

Just bought one on Amazon. Biggest selling points are lithium rechargeable battery, and modern features like scanning etc. Still figuring out the antenna on the beach umbrella idea. Maybe a kl203 and battery pack in the cooler?

I don't want to raise any eyebrows. I was thinking 6 pack cooler.
This handheld is super cool - can't wait to try one out!!
Local testing around the town and with a buddy of mine the little handheld is impressive. Even the antenna with little expectations does well with 4 to 5 miles in the city. Now the open highway is next on the agenda. The little radio is packed with features for it's size
That sounds awesome!! Oh no...here comes the swing mods, noise toys and linnneeerrrss!!!
No mods for this guy, it does its intended purpose well and for a family trip it's perfect. I've got other gear for other purposes haha.
Yes sir it isn't a bnc and it actually feels a little more solid than a bnc. Doesn't feel like it needs a lot of caution when in an accidental bind.
I read the book on all the functions and it's more information than a guy can retain at once. It's got some functionality for it's size so I'll keep the book handy to make the most use of the radio.
Andy, I first ran it strictly off it's own battery for several hours then ran it connected to the the lighter plug. No difference at all in my case. Nb/anl on, hi cut is very a noticeable pleasure to have and the automatic squelch works just as the president Richard I owned before. Compared to the modified 29 currently in the big rig, this receiver is a definite upgrade but also 2 different environments. The only gripe so far is the built in speaker but almost expected the size it is.
Weather alert is going to be a definite plus as when we head out tomorrow we're expecting to run across some severe weather.
So far so good for what it is.
To save file space this is my English only version.
Imagine that, a working Noise Blanker circuit fit inside a walkie talkie...
And you can fit the whole radio inside a dancing hula girl dashboard doll mount!!
Eyes are lit during PTT!
In fact, the protruding RF Gain and Squelch controls line up with amazing left-right symmetry once her form-fitting cover is slipped over.
It ain’t called Randy for nuthin, bro.
(The good news is that it has an external speaker jack. And, nope, does not plug in “like that”.)
Trying to read the display by laying her horizontal and parting the grass skirt while driving isn’t recommended. Set the channel pre-sets beforehand. Then it’s a one-finger job.
