"This unit has it all! Really love the long range for outdoors and dual dial to control the settings."

"Opened unit and charged completely before powering on.,Turned on to find the display screen is damaged and blurry. When you reset it it works fine and is clear for a minute or two but the longer powered on the more blurry the numbers are on the display. Brand new just like easy!"
