Overview
Hiking trails, job sites and ham radio nets are where this handheld fits, running both DMR digital and analog modes on two bands. GPS reports position, and NOAA receive brings weather alerts.
Digital and analog in one handheld, with front panel programming and a Type-C port, makes it flexible for hobbyists. The many settings take learning, and the listing does not cover license requirements or warranty.
Who it's for
Operators who use repeaters and digital talk groups, or teams that need position reporting. Casual users wanting push to talk simplicity will find it complex.
Pros and cons
- Digital and analog modes
- Front panel programming
- GPS and APRS
- Weather alert receive
- Complex menu for beginners
- Single radio in the box
- Warranty term unclear
Performance notes
Range depends on power level, antenna and terrain more than on the listed maximum; higher power drains the battery faster. TDMA splits one frequency into two time slots, so two conversations share a channel in DMR mode.
