The way the transceiver is available on Amazon.

The case looks as good as any Japanese manufacturer's hand-held helicopter.
The buttons, volume and channel controls feel solid with very good tactile feedback.
The battery pack clip is securely secured to the back of the handheld device, and the belt clip looks and feels durable.
The USB programming cable purchased separately is also a quality product, which also enhances my confidence in Baofeng products.
