This radio has a ton of potential. It has a great feature set, looks good, feels like good quality, and has good power. If we ignore the fact that it is illegal to use in the US, it still has some issues.
Unfortunately, it is very flaky. You'll have it programmed and on and use it, then out of nowhere it will stop outputting voice. You can tell from the display that the radio is receiving transmission but has decided not to decode and output it. Playing with it for a while and switching in and out of NOAA band seems to wake it back up. If you program it with the same code 3 times, you'll likely receive a different configuration on the radio 2 of those 3 times. (Testing done on latest firmware)
Between not being an FCC approved radio and the flaky issues with it, I would say this radio is priced about 400-500% higher than it should be.
