The KG-UV920P is overpriced and it's got some problems. I've already seen people trying to dump them on the Zed and eBay.
Despite the silly-sounding name, the Anytone AT-5888UV seems like a better radio and a better deal.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

More like eight transistors but, otherwise, I agree. 'Tis a silly name.Anytone? That sounds like a 15 transistor radio from the 60's

I bought a UV5-A+. Now I am not the guy to ask about the performance compared to other HT's because I do not own another HT. I do know it has very good tx audio as I talked to a guy in town on simplex, and on the local 2 meter repeater and he said it sounded just fine. RX audio level seems fine to me.
I mainly use mine to monitor the local police frequency (have come to the conclusion that there are many many losers living in this city!)
I have ordered the hand mic and the SMA cable so I can connect it to my outdoor dual band antenna. Then I will be able to see how well it performs.
I took mine to the last ham club meeting and everyone was impressed with the radio, for $53 shipped with the program cable you can't beat that with a stick. I use CHIRP to program it.

They actually had 15 transistor radios. http://www.transistor.org/collection...e/encore7.html
I think the thought was the more transistors, the better, even though the bulk of them weren't used...
