#hamradio #pota #parksontheair

A review of the QYT KT-QP12. This 25 Watt Mobile Ham radio for VHF/UHF is perfect for tucking in those small places where other radios won’t fit. Great for camping, hiking, go box backup radio etc. Plus, everything is done straight from the speaker mic/screen. It’s a very unique design, and one I quite like.
***Discount Code: BG730f78. (it’s only $4 off but hey, better than nothing.)
