Fleetwood Digital

Wonderful pre-sales experience. Really appreciate the time spent with me. After sales not quite what it should have been. No shipping info, no tracking number so no idea when they would come. Radios not configured for local repeaters (contrary to the web site) but otherwise everything included as it should have been. BTW, the wouxun software is atrocious!

Why do I need to pay so much more to buy in Canada. Easily could have bought for less elsewhere and with FREE shipping. Almost did! Several other little things I would like to buy but not enough to get to $100. And free shipping. Easily would end up buying more than the $100. Over time but the shipping is to much. This is not a product rating as it has not been received yet.

Site was set up decently, fairly easy to navigate. Will be making future purchases. Have several baofeng uv5r, need to ditch the rubber duck antennas soon. Just got my technician license and more than ready to get started

The information on the tri-fold card is useful, easy to read, and the card is nicely compact. My only complaint is with the thin lamination, the way it was cut, and the lack of care taken to fold the card.

The thin lamination makes the card feel a little cheaper than I'd like, as it's a card that lives in my go bag, and gets used. It feels like it won't hold up. Time will tell.

The card was obviously a larger sheet, and then cut to size - meaning that the edges are not sealed. If moisture gets the edge of the card, it will likely whick into the paper under the laminate, making a mess.

Lastly, and I'm probably nit-picking here, but when they folded the card prior to sending it, they didn't fold it straight. A small detail, but it speaks to a lack of care. Kinda bugged me.

Bottom line: I would still recommend these to radio owners. Good product regardless, just could use a little extra love. ;)

Recently ordered 2 dual band radios for our trip up north. There will be 5 rigs in our trip and communication to each other is important. All of now have ordered and received radios from Fleetwood
Radios arrived promptly and it was very nice to be able to pick up the phone and ask for help. Geat service. Cheers

As titled... fast and efficient. Was looking for some Baofeng uv 5r's locally, and Fleetwood were my guys. Shipping verification was sent first thing in the AM, and my radios were delivered within a few days. Even had updates sent via Messenger. Nicely done. Thanks.

I purchased a hand held radio from another company but while vacationing in Canada I require parts for my radio which I was able to get from Fleetwood Digital. The parts were needed so that I could add canadian ham radio frequencies to the radio. I received the parts this morning so don't have them installed yet, but they appear to be the right ones. Thanks for the quick service.

I bought a "Nifty" Icom IC-7200 mini manual from Fleetwood Digital. I can't even find anyone selling it here in the UK let alone at the price offered. Then the postage was so inexpensive that it became a no-brainer. The cherry on the top was receipt in five days door to door from Canada. Based on this transaction including the personal follow up communication, I whole-heartedly recommend Fleetwood Digital.

E-mailed to ask about an out-of-stock item and immediately (on a Sunday afternoon!) got a personal response discussing my needs and offering a personal recommendation for an alternative. Which I ordered, and which has come, and which is perfect. Thanks!

Yes the UV-5R triband hand held works perfectly. I wanted some thing with the 222 MHz band and this unit has it. I did have a hard time with the software and programming cable. It would not show a driver to use in windows 10. So I used my Ubuntu machine and it all worked ok. Great radio at a great price.

Asked online for a product to meet my needs, got a speedy response, asked some questions, got my answers. Purchased product, on sale too, received in short time. Asked more questions and received speedy answers. Wish dealing with all companies was this straightforward.

I am very happy with my hand held ham radio purchase. I will be buying many more products in the near future. The order came by mail very quickly and I will be buying more accessories for my radio as well.

I contacted the company to purchase a part for my sdr radio scanner. Being new to the scanner i was unsure of the part i needed. Long story short i was able to purchase the part and had it within a few days. Works great.

I am looking for a basic hand held ham radio. The discriptions given are very detailed. For some of the units, there is even a short video to watch. For me it is a case of sorting out the wants and needs and try to keep within my budget.

This radio is the first purchase I have made from Fleetwood Digital and I have been impressed with both the product and the service.

The radio arrived quickly and was fully charged, I was up and listening immediately. The UV-5R is currently the most affordable "entry level" ham radio available and I am impressed with it's ease of use and it's range. After watching two youtube videos I was confidently manually programming, scanning, and having fun. I can make use of a repeater that is ~70km away with the stock antenna, the battery life is long, and the included earpiece is uncomfortable but adequate.

Staff@ Fleetwood Digital are very knowledgeable and responded to my inquiries quickly. I will definitely be purchasing my future radios from them as well.

Shipping was cheap and the package arrived earlier than expected

Ordered on the Monday arrived on Friday. Radio seems to receive really well. I listened to the local net on a repeater that is between 29 and 30 km away. I did not check in as I didn't have the radio programed yet. This was with the rubber ducky right out of the box. Fleetwood Digital sent updates on the delivery and let me know on the Friday that it was out for delivery. I don't think I would ever consider buying from China. If I have a problem I'm sure Fleetwood will look after it if I buy from them.

I recently purchased 2 Baofeng UV5r radios from Fleetwood. I was a little concerned about how difficult these radios were supposed to be to program. On Bill's advice, I purchased the better quality programming cord along with Fleetwood's programming CD. The radios arrived in 2 days from ordering and were actually a piece of cake to program with the simplex channels that I wanted. Excellent prices and service. I will definitely be doing business with Fleetwood again for accessories. I would recommend them for your radio needs without hesitation.

I ordered the cable and it arrived in two days. Being a newbie to programming radios with software and cable it was hard to figure out. With assistance from Bill, it made it a whole lot easier. I wanted to use it with Windows 10 on a surface pro 4 but the computer didn't seem to recognize the cable even with drivers installed. I ended up using a very old machine that has Vista. All be it the machine is a turtle compared to the new machines out now, it worked out with a lot of patience.

Reasonably good delivery time considering I ordered something in the beginning of a 3 day long stat holiday. BUT the item was a bit rougher in condition, as I believed it to be, BUT it was a used item, so I should have asked a few more questions. It works, so all good. Tnx.

My order was phoned in Febr. 28,2018, between 16:00 and 17:00. To pay by Master Card. My Invoice states 03/08/18.
Transaction Details, Pay by phone $577.31 CAD. Pending
Pay by phone $577,31 Cad. Success
Total price $577.31 CAD.
My question is, is the price paid by phone or Master Card at what date.
Thank you
Johann W. Schroeder

Ordering was easy. Packaging excellent. Product as specified. My only question:
When charging with the battery attached to the radio the green charge light does not appear. If charging just the battery it does show the green light.

Been looking around for a vhf antenna for a customers gravel truck. Ordered 2 times from 2 other sources, 1 was not what I ordered, the other wasn't what was described. I found what I wanted with Fleetwood, ordered online, and a few days later, the antenna arrived. It was in 1 piece, it was what I ordered, now everybody is happy.

I looked for a long time for the SMA Female Antenna Socket (Japanese Style), and was about to give up, that's when I stumbled across Fleetwood Digital. They not only had the correct part but for a great price; I ended up ordering 3 of them.

I would greatly recommend this company!
