First;
There was a hiccup with my first order of this package, but the seller of this package - Abbree - DID reply to me very quickly & I have no doubt would have made it right.
I bought 2 of these 2-pack kits, for a total of 4 radios + a ton of accessories. (Parts list at bottom)
When I got the first 2 boxes, they were missing fully HALF of the promised parts.
Normally I don't react, but in this case, I saw what seemed to be quite a few negative reviews / poor seller feedback & kind of freaked out, thinking I just bought from a cruddy seller & was in for a hassle. I thought I'd be forced to return the whole thing & start all over again.
It wasn't encouraging when I went to contact Amazon support & they told me to contact the seller, but the seller's contact bot directed me back to amazon cust. svc. in a nice little loop.
That said; amazon suggested they re-ship the order. I wasn't confident it would work, but not only did it arrive about 5+ days earlier than promised, this time the BaoFeng kits DID include ALL the promised parts!
>>>So; ABBREE; I apologize! <<<
As promised, I'm revising my review to 5 Stars, and I do also note that you did reply to my seller feedback posting here on your amazon profile, the same day I posted it.
Can't ask for much more than that!
Apparently the 1st order that was shipped, the shipper (amazon, I believe....) simply picked the wrong box & ABBREE was NOT to blame.
ANYWAY.....the kit is awesome. Great value for the money. I started pricing out what It would cost to manually piece together all the parts & trust me; it's much easier & cheaper to get this kit.
Everything seems in order; all promised parts are there, so far everything seems to work perfectly, etc..
Now I just have to learn how to use these things!
Included in this kit I bought are:
1) Portable Radio,
2) 3800mAh Extended Battery,
3) US Base Charger,
4) USB Charger Cable,
5) Programming Cable,
6) Belt clip,
7) The sling ( Lanyard?)
8) Earpiece,
9) Stubby antennas (Abbree Brand)
10) AND 15.6" Whip antennas (I believe also ABBREE Brand)
FWIW: I've seen very mixed reviews on the stubby, 6CM tiny antennas (Bullet? Stub? Shortie?). All the ABBREE-Branded antennas seem of exceptional quality. They even came with a little rubber gasket in case there is any gap between the radio + antenna base! There was zero gap for me, but I installed it anyway, as it seems prudent. If I'm wrong; it's brain-dead easy to remove.
Again; Abbree showed themselves to be responsive to the initial mix-up, the kit is IMO a phenomenal value, and I'm happy.
Thank You!
