The TYT MD-380 is probably the most famous DMR radio out there, as just about everyone I know of started DMR with this radio. Is it worth its reputation? Read on and find out!
Wouxun KG-UV9p review, worth the price?
The Wouxun KG-UV9p was my first Wousun, and I thought of it as a high-priced Baofeng, after all, it is just another in a sea of obscure Chinese radios, right? As you can tell, I was not going into this review with a very neutral attitude. Did the Wouxun KG-UV9p win my heart?
Retevis RB22 DMR 70cm Handheld Radio Review
The Retevis RB22 is billed as a new generation professional radio with advanced digital technology features. At first glance, it appears much like many other Chinese DMR radios. Is it really a professional radio, or just another cheap DMR clone?
Abbree AR-730 6-Band Radio Review
This Abbree AR-730 comes just days after my review of the Abbree AR-518, which won the award for lowest scores every achieved in the history of my tests. Everyone can make a dud, so I am hoping for better from this radio. I have to admit, I am a little worried though as this one starts off advertising 6-bands just like the last one. I guess we will see.
Tidradio TD-H8 Dual-Band Radio Review
I have reviewed some Tidradio products before, so I got a Tidradio TD-H8 to see how their highest end (without going DMR) performed. They have some innovative products like their BL-1 wireless programmer that replaces the standard programming cable, so I was excited to see what the H8 could do.
QYT KT-8R Quad-Band Radio Review
The QYT KT-8R is a little bit of a sleeper radio that crept under most people’s radar. A quad-band radio with a large color screen with a 2000mAh battery for under $80. So what’s the catch? Let’s see.
Baofeng 5RH Pro Dual-Band Radio Review
The Baofeng 5RH Pro is one of a new platform of radios. That is, a set of radios that share a lot of common things like basic key layout, size, battery type, etc. The older platform was the UV-5R and its many variants. This new platform is definitely a step-up in just about every way, with a few caveats.
HamGeek APX-8000 Dual-Band: Something Different, But is it Better?
The HamGeek APX-8000 caught my interest for several reasons, including I had never heard of HamGeek in discussions of handheld radios before. Sure, I knew about the HackRF, but I honestly never heard anything else of them.
TidRadio TD-H3 Multi-Band Transceiver Review
The TidRadio TD-H3 is a dual-band transceiver, being able to transmit and receive on 2m and 70cm like the majority of dual-band handheld radios these days. They call it multi-band because (even though technically two is multi) it can also receive on AM at 108-136MHz as well as FM on 50-76MHz, 76-108MHz, 174-350MHz, 350-400MHz, and 470-600MHz. Tidradio has it listed here:
