Bangood offering

 

Hi, group, Ea7FkT here :-)

I've seen that some Chinese chops have this radio at a reduced price of 550 USD.?

But Radioddity has the QR20 as "discontinued"...?

Do you think this radio is worth that price??

Shall I buy it?

Thanks and 73 de Andres, Ea7FkT.

Run for the hills.?
Unless you like being frustrated and spending your time playing with it to get it running, stay away from this family of radios for now.?

Sincerely,

Brian

I just wanted to clarify the models of Q900.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
GuoheTec licensed the Q900-V1 to Retevis/Ailunce? and they marketed it and sold it as the Ailunce HS2
GuoheTec licensed the Q900-V2 to Radioddity and they marketed it and sold it as the QR20
Then GuoheTec developed the Q900-V3 and decided to sell it through distributors as an organic product from GuoheTec.?
Then GuoheTec developed the Q900-V4 and sold it direct and through distributors.
They simultaneously created the PMR-171 manpack line from the Q900-V4 and sold it the same way.
So when folks talk about the QR20 or the HS2, it's not a 'relabeled' Q900-V3 or V4, it's an older version model. I have 2 Q900-V3 and a PMR-171 (which has Q900-V4 guts). The V4 is much improved over the V3 and, especially V2 and V1 models.

I just wanted to lay out my understanding, have held all 4 models at one time or the other.
