the cheapy has arrived, it is a SureCom SA-250 and find it very frustrating to use.
http://surecom.v1.way.hk/surecom01_produ...?id=114913 is where you will find out a bit about it. Menu system is 'odd' which is being kind.
The screen looks pretty when inside but totally wiped out in any degree of sunlight, even if you try to shield it from light.
back to the selection process / saving up for one that works out doors.

The frequency limitations wouldn't suit me : 132-173Mhz / 200-260Mhz / 400-519MHz
I would want something that would at least do 50-54 and preferably HF too. (without buying their SA-160 as well)
The price of it is reasonable at $AUD275-300 though.
The main problem might be as listed under the Main Features - the Built-in rechargertable battery - if you ever needed to replace the original one. I guess they lied about " 2.2 ” precision LCD screen,High-lumen LCD brightness, easy to read in direct sunlight"" based on your experiences.
Maybe a COMET CAA-500 Mark II 1.8-500 MHZ Graphic and Analog Antenna Analyzer
