Review on TYT MD-UV380: Ultimate Dual Band VHF UHF DMR Handheld Walkie Talkie by Niranjan Reynolds

You can find someone to program it for you which I did. That's it. Yes, as some have pointed out, just because this radio is part of the computer, the battery is quite small and can drain quickly. I had to get a DMR radio for work at a local ham radio club this summer and I am happy with this radio. I just wish you could get a 2200mah+ battery. I bought two of these and keep them both on hand when I'm working on an event. As for the sound quality. I am using an external microphone with a speaker that has an amplified speaker. As long as I understand the speaker, everything is fine. I installed a 19" Signal Stick antenna and many people have told me that my signal is loud and clear, maybe too loud. Overall I would give this radio a 4.5 out of five for the battery. But for those who Using DMR for the first time, this is a good radio.
