The Weekend VHF/UHF Transceiver has been well accepted across the world. It can be found on all continents except in Africa. Also myself enjoy using it virtually every day on local VHF/UHF chats mostly via repeaters. Why mostly via repeaters? Well it's rather obvious: Weekend Radio has only 1W output on primary band and only few mW on “secondary” band. So it you have bought UHF version of Weekend Radio it would have 1W on UHF and few mW on VHF band.
