The Talkpod A36plus air band is nice since I live close to an airport.

The radio I received worked as it should. It has clear audio and is super easy to program using software and the included cable. Everything seems to be of good quality. I tried the new battery on the defective radio and it worked fine as well. I read a lot of reviews saying the radio is “dirty” and it might be, but it suits my needs just fine in my area. The air band is nice too since I live close to an airport.
