Overview
A radio shack bench or an emergency comms table is where this BTECH DMR handheld belongs, listening to a VHF and a UHF channel at the same time. It runs DMR and analog FM, with GPS, APRS and recording for larger operating plans.
Buy it for serious DMR capacity, true dual receive and BTECH's own firmware tools, backed by free software and US-based help. It is not plug and play: digital use depends on a correct codeplug, repeater or hotspot details and talkgroups.
Who it's for
Made for radio hobbyists, emergency teams and repeater regulars who program their own codeplugs. Families wanting simple push-to-talk should choose a basic FRS radio.
Pros and cons
- True VHF and UHF dual receive
- Huge channel and contact capacity
- GPS and APRS support
- Bluetooth PTT switch included
- Codeplug setup required
- Bluetooth is PTT only, not audio
- Only IP54 splash protection
Performance notes
Digital performance depends on the codeplug, talkgroups and nearby repeater or hotspot settings matching the network. The two receivers listen independently, so activity on one band does not mute the other. Range varies with antenna choice and terrain, and the long antenna helps with weak signals.
