  Great Tool! Durable and Lightweight. Software for many Radio Types is Awesome!

  This is a great tool for programming radios in the Field. I have the CF29 for the Shop as well. The software is easy to find and use, and because there's everything from Motorola, Kenwood, Icom and others, it's a one-stop solution for me! Great addition to my Shop! Had to buy an additional cable for the Moto's, but cheap on !
