I have that one as a spare/backup. It works fine as a handheld, but the input amp is so high on it that I can't hear people until they're like 1/4 mile away, when it's hooked up to the vehicle antenna. It's just garbled up and over-saturated when people with well-tuned radios are closer than that (i.e. on the trail).
