Perfect first set. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great little radio without breaking the bank *by M***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2016* For the money this is quite an impressive little radio. Given the size; the audio output is crystal clear at moderate volume although if you crank it up you'll get distortion.The unit is a bit of a fiddle to programme if you try and make use of the supplied instruction manual; however there are some excellent you-tube videos that help immensely and result in making setup a doddle.I bought this unit as a cheap and cheerful 2m/70cm rig for the car so that i'll always have something permanently in there. Previously I'd head out and forget to grab my main radio or a handheld. This fits my preferance for mobile operation - runs 10w and allows me to make use of the repeaters to gain that extra cover.Owing to the small size; this rig can be discreetly fitted. I opted for a spot near the steering column, which means, with the mic removed, it cannot be seen from outside the vehicle.Plan ahead on install gives you extra flexibility. I ran coax from the unit, under the carpet near the door sills, into the boot / trunk... Where i've terminated it in an SO239 socket. This allows me to connect my magmount quickly or switch out for a telescopic beam when stationary.To protect the radio when no aerial is connected; i fit a dummy load to the SO239 socket.Running low power (5w) gave a good QSO, simplex between Devils Dyke and Ockley (Surrey) - a disrance of around 15/20 miles.All in all - I'm a very happy customer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/53727005-leixen-vv-898e-dual-band-car-radio-two-way-radio](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/53727005-leixen-vv-898e-dual-band-car-radio-two-way-radio) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
