With a price point of about $250 you would think this is like hitting the lottery. Any blog readers have one of these?
This is the Xiegu G106C currently being sold at various places for about $250. Two reviews of this radio are bipolar ranging from very negative to very positive comments. That sure makes it hard to make any informed purchase decision.
Certainly, at a price point of 25% of an ICOM IC-7300 it has to have some compromises like QRP power levels and not all of the whistles and bells. So, while the price is highly attractive are you wasting precious resources.
That is where taking your time to fully evaluate the product is job #1. You also need to evaluate the evaluator. Do the reviews cover the functionality of the radio and its attributes including the warts. Or is it just a rant following a bad purchase decision.
For $250 my take is it should not be the main station radio. But for something for use in the field where it is occasionally operated then that is a different paradigm.
Caveat Emptor.
