This radio came from a guy that races in Baja. I guess the racers use this model as it can be modded. Possibly to operate on other than the ham band. I was told that it recently started transmitting garble up voice and was hard to understand. It is missing the other power plug end but I was careful and jump wired it and it powered on and showed a frequency on the display. That is all that I did. This radio is for someone with the experience to troubleshoot and repair. Selling as is. The mounting bracket is in the box. I will not ship to Hawaii or Alaska unless via flat rate USPS Priority Mail without oem box.
