Wouxun KG-S74A Compact Waterproof VHF Aviation Radio with USB-C Charging

This HT seems to work like it was designed to work. I hear mostly noise. The weather comes in good so I guess if a plane is close enough, it would come in good.

I have 2 other VHF hand-held airband tranceivers.
This unit is surprisingly well made. Smaller than I thought for 6w. I have tested recently. Clear with for 6w line of sight usage
Literally fits in your pocket. A larger pocket anyway.
I have other Wouxun gmrs radios. Similar user interface.
Sorting of channels is a bit challenging. But I'm an old fart.
Have not tested included headphone mic jack connector/adapter. Will do test in future.
But overall. Comparing features with other HT's on the market. Good value.
And USB type c is awesome.

I’m pretty happy with the radio so far for the money. Nicely done Wouxun! However, I can’t get the software to work on any of my windows 11 computers to include in compatibility modes. Since the radio is so new there just isn’t any good info out on the internets about workarounds or other software options. Very disappointing.

This radio picks up distant aircraft, even with the stock antenna. Reception is very crisp and clear, and this includes the weather band. On the minus side, the scanning is fair. I tend to monitor just one frequency at a time. Conclusion: I like this radio, and it's a keeper. However, the old saying "you get what you pay for" does apply a little to the KG-S74A.

GREAT PRICE FOR THIS RADIO. CHOSE FREE SHIPPING, IT WAS DELIVERED IN TWO DAYS. I AM ONLY GOING TO USE IT FOR LISTENING.
