I bought this radio primarily for ARES. It's the perfect set-up. Adding the option of switching to battery back-up for ARES. Thinking of getting another one soon.

This is a perfect setup. I am so impressed. It can be unplugged and transported in seconds. This Wouxun radio is perfect. Have purchased from "Buytwowayradios.com" for 7 times now and it just gets better every time.

Picked up one of these for my first setup when I got my license. I agree with the user that explained that you need to remove this radio from the housing if you want to use the programming cable, however it's not that big of a deal. I plan on picking up another one of these units as a backup, as well as having the capability to run a temporary repeater if needed.

I would buy this product again. review by Charles, WA4UJC on 9/28/2017

I am the ARES Emergency Coordinator for my county and this unit is great for use in the field as well as at a home location. The digital port is located on the side of the radio, so in-order to use programming software or digital operation you would have to remove the radio from the case. I installed an access port in the case to use the digital port. (see photo). At the same time I moved the radio forward just a little to give better access to the front panel controls. If you extended the case height just a little, you could install another radio and with the proper cable you would have a fully functional-portable 50 watt repeater.
Probably should not buy review by Phil on 7/8/2017

Well the concept is good. All in one package small base station. But the item comes just as pictured. Other packages come with the angled faceplate, mounting brackets for a vehicle and the original radio box. The 920p is a decent radio for the price with a lot of features. But in this configuration you have to DISASSEMBLE THE HOUSING TO GET TO THE COMPUTER PROFRAMMING PORT ON THE SIDE OF THE RADIO. Also it is darn near impossible to reach the antenna connection on the radio unless you have fifth grader hands. I tried to research different packages and determine which would be best. But for $50 less you get all the radio parts mentioned above and a mobile antenna and programming cable. Shoot, for $125 less you can get a TYT 9800 quad band with a wouxun 30A power supply. I don't think this is a good buy and I feel like I made a mistake. Radio does seem to be working well (only have had it for a few days). The all in one housing would be convenient if I did not have to plug in different antennas, but my current situation requires me to. So I guess I will be investing in a short jumper cable (more $). I hope my observations help others in their decision making. I do think there should be some advertisement that this housing covers up the programming port on the radio.
