Steve,

We have been using the 16 channel version of that radio, the RPV516A, in our logging operations, for almost six months now. They have worked very well for us. I would say it depends on what your customers are going to use them for. I would not recommend them for Public Safety applications. However, if these are B&I type customers, then they would probably like the radio.

Several people on our (volunteer) fire department have these for our personal radios and they are wonderful radios. We have the 16 channel versions in our trucks.

I agree with Kmoose, if the radios are gonna be beat on and abused you might want to look for a sturdier radio. Otherwise, they're wonderful.
