My advice keep clear of it typical cheap crap.
Here what others say

I would probably go for a Watson or Diamond but expect to pay a lot more

Don't waste your money, buy better.

Daiwa CS-401

Eham reviews 5/5

This one may still be for sale.

Yep had one years ago, ok for CB use but not ham. Like others have said, buy a quality one if using it for ham.

Don't buy that Zetagi. Another vote for the Daiwa here. I've used one and yes they cost more but are built way better and are of solid design. As posted above, steer clear of the cheap stuff

Also be careful of the ones with the bright blue handle on (dont know name), crap manufacturing quality too.

if you want a decent one then i would buy an Alpha delta as all others arent up to scratch. If its for RX only then yes cheap ones are fine but if tx is needed i would buy Alpha delta

Possibly, I cannot remember where I saw it but one of those (or identical handle) had very poor soldering, a short on on SO239 and they relied on a push fit into the enclosure for the outside connection on the so239. Apparently not the first time on had been like that.

SO as the others say, go for the better brands - or make your own.

Consider both the frequency and power ratings that are specified & plan for the future as once you buy a good one you'll keep it for years.

I did post that earlier in the thread, I think he's ignoring it.

Still, if it is in good nick (that library picture is awful) he could save a few quid.

no ones ignoring anything

but i quite like the Alpha one to be honest.
but thanks for all the post's its much appreciated to be pointed in the right direction.
