Its what they sell and call a CB radio. Buy one for a couple bucks,
a few
modifications and bingo your set. Quits working toss it in the trash.
And if you dont do mods you dont even need a license..

My goal with this radio is to offer a radio that will introduce new
technician operators to non-line-of-sight operation. The basic
requirements are:
Covers 28.3 - 28.5 MHz USB.
Audio quality that will appeal to an FM user.
Enough power to make QSOs easily.
Inexpensive enough to buy on impulse.
Simple to use UI.
Supporting FM repeater use on some of 6M, 2M, and 70cm might expand
sales in the target market enough to be justified. A mobil operations
story would make it useful for car-to-car operation during low sunspot
times. Availability as a no-solder kit could cut costs, increase pride
of ownership, and aid word-of-mouth sales.
Other features like CW operation, split operation, etc. should only be
included if they significantly expand the market and can be introduced
without undue UI complications.
