Some things to be aware of, these radios do not have a CTCSS board in them I think, they were not the cleanest of transmitters among other issues. Here is the reviews of this radio.

| The 5054's are not bad radios. And they DO TX clean. Biggest problem is people trying to get more out of a radio. If it's not been hacked it's worth the $200.New they cost about $370. |

| They are fine as a back up radio for your back up radio but like all rangers don't cut is as a good radio. |

also stay away from the old rock bound radios if you plan on working FM
The MFJ 6 meter FM radio only works 52.525 and uses CRYSTALS |
