Overview
Digital DMR and analog FM run through one dual band handset from Radioddity, with a color screen to manage huge contact and talk group lists. USB-C handles both charging and programming, so no special cable is needed.
Large memory, two batteries and a long antenna in the box make it a complete DMR starter kit. It is not water resistant, so rain and field use need care.
Who it's for
Amateur operators joining DMR networks and repeaters will use the storage and dual band. People wanting a rugged, rainproof radio for harsh weather should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Huge contact and talk group memory
- Color screen for easy menus
- USB-C charging and programming
- Two batteries included
- Not water resistant
- Satellite use needs know-how
- Programming has a learning curve
Performance notes
DMR splits each channel into time slots for clearer digital voice, while analog FM handles older radios and repeaters. Noise reduction filters background sound on transmit and receive, and the long antenna improves reach.
