These radios are discontinued now. Good to find one here on Amazon, even if it is over priced. Shipping was super fast, 1 day. The radio I received is genuine, but it is a Chinese model, intended for use there. Just a few differences. The TX is fully open. Auto repeater offset does not function, you have to manually set it. Wx channels do not work out of the box, but that can be resolved in menu #39. The radio came with all 200 memory channels preprogrammed with business and marine band frequencies. I got rid of all that by running a full reset. Other than that, the radio checks out fine. Watts are good, TX audio great, RX is excellent. The radio and boxing appeared to be factory fresh, no evidence of a prior owner or use. I would have purchased the FT-3185RASP for less but 2980 has a feature I need, the new one does not. Menu #33 allows me to range test antennas I build. As far as warranty, I will mail the card and see what happens. .-- . ..--- ---

I bought this device a while ago. It is really an exciting device. I was talking to my friend in the desert and the distance between us was more than 100 km. Something was unbelievable and the sound was very clear. I wished I had taken a video clip from my phone of this wonderful event, but unfortunately it was out of battery. The phone is empty...thank you, Amazon
