According to the person who reviewed it ....robbage wrote:A tech's review
The verdict
The good: user friendly design, excellent receiver, good audio on both RX and TX.
The bad: Harmonic suppression disappointing. Rotary encoders are unreliable.
Bottom line: this radio still needs some work. The KG-UV920R isn’t a bad radio, but for €299.00 I expect it to be as good as the competition. That’s not the case – yet. If the described problems are solved, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one.

The price will have to come down. There are a number of cheap Chinese Dual band mobiles out now. One of them I saw is $250

Yep, have to agree. It's a well featured Chinese radio but it's still a Chinese radio. I'm not paying Yaesu/Icom/Kenwood prices for a first product from a company new to the market.
