It's pretty much a bumfeng UV-3R without the display so you'll need CHIRP or similar to program the 16 channels.

The only driver you need is for the program cable RS232 to USB. Most people get the six quid version that has a knock-off Prolific chip that will only work on the ancient driver, there's plenty of posts on here about it.
If it didn't have a charger then two quid is about right. Still good for sticking in the local V/UHF repeaters and a few simplex for walking the dog or hiking, maybe even a couple of 446 or 449 channels if that's your thing.
