XHDATA is expanding its product line with a two-way radio, the E-100.
I’ve had the privilege of testing the radio for a few weeks in advance of product release and I had some input into updates of the user manual and product description.
In the United States, this is an Amateur Radio band unit. It’s 6W power output requires a license to operate, something that XHDATA has made clear in its product advertising. I was pleased to see it competitively priced at $24.98 on Amazon.
Since I’m not a licensed ham radio operator, I wasn’t able to test transmission, but I could receive Aviation band, Weather band and GMRS radio signals. The radio has a good feel to it. USB-C charging is very convenient.
If they come out with a GMRS version, I might buy a pair.

But the inside is not so I have been told by experts. So unfortunately it is not possible to flash OEFW firmware for that matter!
The XHDATA and the Baofeng share the same FCC Type ID number.
XHData is on a roll. They also just came out with the D-221, and update that adds weather band to the D-220 pocket radio.
