Just ordered a Wouxun 2/70

Hi lads,

After a couple of months being away from the radio I have decided to purchase a new one for the new year. I have just ordered the above radio, not sure if it had something to do with the alcohol or something :-).

I have decided to go for this as I only find time to play when in the works Van so I have decided to go for something small and easy to remove. Just hope its the rite choice.

Anyone got any experience with this radio?

Regards,

Dave
P.S. Happy New Year

I have the 4m 699-E and it is a wee cracker, I have a Puxing 888 VHF and UHF ( great wee radios) but the Wooshin feels a bit more quality plus I dropped it off a trig point onto the concrete base, a wee dent and it still worked, man, ah was near in tears....I use a speaker mike with my chinese handies, best if its cold.

Good Choice Dave will serve you well am sure

my little puxing 777 2m is still going strong ,now 3yrs old.good radio

We have several Puxings & they get a lot of use, my daughters get dragged to & from School, mine get bumped about in the rucksack & used by the guys at the School Radio club & they still look good.
On one trip up the highest Church tower in Norfolk I took my handies & as the town is below a ridge I decided if I could get into the local repeater on the Yaesu VX-7r with £30 high gain whip, I could Then someone said I was hammering into a local town on the input & could I try it on the standard antenna. Being lazy I simply swapped to the Puxing & the signal strength was the same, but on the Puxing the CTCSS was not audible.
These radios have great antennas & make a nice little PMR & Marine band scanner as well as an excellent amateur radio.

I first tried my Puxing on a local high spot and got 55 into Edinburgh, not bad for app 70ml away, I was just under 1000 ft, most of my SOTA 2m fm activations are with the Puxing, never a query about audio although I had to 'do' the mod, worth every penny..got a free earpiece which I still occasionally use although prefer to use the speaker mike
