W6 PMR Rating: 1/5 Jan 26, 2015 21:33 Send this review to a friend Junk! it’s actually not much bigger than a UV-5 R. I’ve spent a while with the Leixen now, so it’s time for a review. Look & Feel If the Leixen would be a bit bigger, it would have the looks of a professional land mobile radio. Keys work well, layout is good, and the microphone is full featured and fits nicely in anyones hand. The menu takes a while to get used to, mainly because the manual isn’t very helpful. Yet I managed to figure it out in a matter of minutes, probably because by now I’m a proficient interpreter of cryptic Chin English manuals. The inside of the radio doesn’t reveal much. I could have disassembled the radio even further, but didn’t want to risk damaging my friend’s radio. RX sound quality Surprisingly good, especially with the small case and tiny speaker in mind. Yet the radio will do much better with an external speaker, especially when you intend to use the radio in a car. I couldn’t hear any LF distortion, nor excessive noise. So far so good. TX Audio Slightly deprived of highs as well as lows. It won’t win any Hi Fi award, but all stations agreed that there were no other issues which would prevent one from understanding what you’re saying. Replacing the stock electret element inside the microphone for a better one might be something to consider if you want improve the TX audio. Transmitter quality Because I noticed a lot of intermod (see receiver section) I suspected the oscillator.
