https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_3qhfMBrtQ

The Talkpod A36 Plus is a GMRS handheld radio that is quickly gaining popularity. It is a feature-rich radio that is affordable and easy to use. However, it has some significant flaws that you should be aware of before purchasing.

Pros:

  • Inexpensive
  • Small and lightweight
  • Good battery life
  • Easy to use
  • Can be used for GMRS, HAM, and airband
  • Comes with a variety of accessories

Cons:

  • Spurious emissions
  • Poor front-end filtering
  • No tools assembly clip is clunky
  • USBC connector is not user-friendly
  • Packaging is misleading

Overall, I would not recommend the Talkpod A36 Plus. It is a good value for the price, but it has some serious flaws that make it not worth purchasing.

Here are some additional points from the video:

  • The Talkpod A36 Plus has a lot of spurious emissions. This means that it emits a lot of unwanted radio signals that can interfere with other radios.
  • The Talkpod A36 Plus has poor front-end filtering. This means that it is susceptible to interference from other radio signals.
  • The Talkpod A36 Plus does not come with any tools. This makes it difficult to assemble and disassemble.
  • The Talkpod A36 Plus has a USBC connector that is not user-friendly. It is difficult to plug in and unplug the cable.
  • The Talkpod A36 Plus packaging is misleading. It makes the radio look like it is a much higher quality than it actually is.

I hope this helps!
