Not happy at all. Had it one week use and the external speaker does not work. Customer Service was clueless and not much help. Now I’m paying out of my own pocket to send back for a refund.

A good scanner for analog communications
A good scanner for analog signals (Aviation, HAM, Maritime, FRS / GMRS). The stock rubber ducky antenna offers fair performance, but buying an aftermarket whip antenna increases the signal strength.
One downside is that the AA rechargeable batteries do not hold a charge - I've made up for this by buying a rack charger for the batteries and will often keep the scanner on the charger to extend battery life. Using regular alkaline AA batteries will result in a lot of drained batteries. It's best to stick with rechargeable batteries and keeping a spare set always charged up.
Also, some HAM frequencies are out of range (222 MHz) of this receiver.
Despite these issues, this is a good investment at a reasonable price.
