I picked up another Amazon-return AnyTone AT-588MAX expecting to find the usual mystery, but this one turned into a head-scratcher for a different reason: it just worked. In this video I put the radio on the bench, power it up, check basic operation, and run it through a simple test setup to see if there’s an obvious reason it was sent back. Sometimes these return radios are broken, sometimes they have a weird user-induced problem, and sometimes they leave me asking one simple question: what am I missing?

It features two SMA antenna ports, Bluetooth audio and wireless PTT support, Bluetooth smartphone programming through the Ola Radio app, a 2-inch color display, 1,000 memory channels, a 2,500 mAh battery, and USB-C charging. But do all these features make the SW-9 a worthwhile upgrade over the classic Baofeng UV-5R?
