So ... I got the packout radio for my birthday, last month.
I am very happy with it!
It seems very well built, the fm reception is better than any jobsite radio I have owned, although I normally listen to Sirius or pandora through my phone.
i have to admit the sound of my gen1 tough system is a little better. If you turn the volume up all the way (packout) , it gets a little distorted. I normally don’t turn it up to full volume anyway.
The controls are way better, you can easily open the storage door with one hand, the Bluetooth is awesome.
