FAB makes Great firearm and tactical accessory
0 of 1 found this helpful I really like the FAB gear over other major products. All items are well contour to be comfortable, less fatiguing over long use and typically lower profile than products from say MAGPUL. Many items have been deburred by hand to give a great fit and feel. And I really like that they use a one peice fiberpolymer design one many item, no bolt together calm shell designs and unnatural angles from FAB or their manifacturing partners (MAKO Group). I utilize many FAB products on my Mossbergs, Tavor, and some AR platforms... I have not been unhappy or have had a single item fail. And Zahal get your order to you very quick, I look forward to future orders.

Well made and evenly cut.
These ranger bands are well made, as bands go. They are evenly cut and in great new condition. They stretch and expand well with no cracking or snaping. They do not appear to be made from used bicycle tubes as the still have powder (used in making the tubing) and they are even with no curvature. While they are simply heavy duty bands the low cost and free shipping makes them well worth the cost. Much easier than getting three sizes of tube than cutting them evenly.

Great little radio when you really get down to it.
1 of 1 found this helpful I've been a Ham radio operator since the mid 80s, I'm only 40 so that pretty much my whole life. I've always been a listener and have had many grades of radios in front of me. From a Sony 2010 as a child, some really crummy budget so called travel radios, professional grade Rockwells, even military rigs in combat zones. There is a current balance you need from each radio in catagory. I'm not going to lie and say the GP-5/SSB is a overall outstanding commercial grade receiver, it isn't. Would this be the radio I turn on at home I my den or living room to tune in to AM and shortwave, no I'd use a full sized portable like a Gundig Satellite (800 or 750). I'd use a Sangean 909x for travel when I have extra space. These are far superior to the GP-5. When the GP-5 shines is its size and needed features. It's great little receiver for its size. I have or had radios of similar size that cost far more and sucked. Rigs like the Yeasu VX8DR with extended receive is nearly deaf on broadcast bands and useless on ham bands. Like sized top grade receivers like many handheld radios by Alinco, Yeasu or Icom have the features but need a full antenna and typically special batteries with correct chagers, and still aren't that great.
The very first thing I'd say about the GP-5 is READ THE MANUAL. Many issues that people have complained about are actually covered in the manual. I heard a guy say the radio would be OK as a QRP receiver if the SSB had some fine tuning. It does have fine tuning, but he probably didn't read the booklet. Right from the box sitting in my living room I was able to tune into WWV, 20 and 40 meter CW, distant AM stations, and all FM stations I'd receive from my truck or house radio, and that just with the antenna extended of the tiny AM antenna attached... that's really really good for such a tiny radio. The radio uses AA batteries and can charge from a USB, which means all the solar, dyno, or battery packs found for charging a cell phone will run this radio with no needed adapter, that can't be said about many AM/FM/SW radios in any catagory. The radio lacks features due to size. It has odd setting methods and the manual should be kept at hand. The manual can simply be folded and slipped in the soft case. The radio does have its down sides, but only when compared to larger more complex radios, radios that need special chargers, batteries, antennas, and so on. This is a very useful radio and definitely has its nitch roles. Be it a so called "bug out" radio (hate that term), camping, hunting, outdoors, emergency and even down to a very portable QRP receiver. One or even two of these receivers and a well made QRP transmitter would make and outstanding kit. As a knowledgeable ham and radio listener I can say I really like this radio. I'll buy a couple more for different roles.
