Nothing for DMR newcomers.

This radio itself is great. Looks, feels and feels solid and heavy. Battery life is short, a simple scan doesn't last a day. However, the supporting software/firmware is terrible. Unless you are very good with computers and DMR radio programming, stay away from this radio. Retevis' CPSprogrammer is difficult to navigate, took many steps to get the right versions and had compatibility issues with Win10. I programmed famous brands and Chinese HTs with various software from Kenwood KPGD1N to CHIRP

Pros
  • Two-slot communication allows two groups of calls to work simultaneously on one frequency point
Cons
  • Little things

Can't use it as a transmitter or receiver

I spent a week trying to get this very neat little radio to transmit or receive something. Chinglish Guide. It's bad when your own Chinese friend doesn't even understand that. The dial lights up and the menu works. You can even go into settings and change some things. Just in case you think I'm clueless about radio communications, I grew up next to a radio amateur, got a degree in electronics, installed 100ft towers, was a computer programmer and computer consultant for the entertainment…

Pros
  • Group call mapping allows you to call freely without group restrictions
Cons
  • I'll write later

I love the radio

Received this radio, boxed and programmed in the field; didn't have a computer handy. I think the radio is great so far! It's a great design and packaging to hold on to, just an overall great form factor. When I used it last night on amateur frequencies for my groups 'Net' I was told I had a good strong clear signal with the rubber ducky antenna provided, a much stronger signal than my RT23 5W I spoke to previously had the same people. Hit the rubber ducky at repeaters 16 to 20 miles away. I…

Pros
  • Free lifetime software upgrade for new features
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Great radio for getting started with DMR

When I bought my first DMR unit I was looking for a unit with GPS capability as well as VHF and UHF on both DMR and FM. This device fits the bill perfectly. The programming cable that came with it worked great with my Windows 7 machine and I was able to download the software from the Retevis website. Seems like Retevis is really helping Hams get onto DMR which is great. After using this radio for a week I have to say that programming DMR from scratch is not easy but it is doable. The Retevis…

Pros
  • Digital to Analog mode switchable radio compatible with Motorola Tier 1&2; 100% IP67 waterproof and dustproof support Submersible in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes
Cons
  • No power

Best bang for your buck!

This is not your father's baofeng. I bought two of these radios, I wanted to start experimenting with DMR. Included in the box is a wrist strap, battery, belt clip and the radio itself, as well as a programming cable along with a manual. They also ignore relying on the manual to guide you as the translation is rough at best. It's not light, so if you're coming from something like a baofeng, you might be surprised at how heavy this radio is. And it's very big. It actually feels similar to the…

Pros
  • group call match lets you call freely without group restrictions; Recording function up to 8 hours, help you record enough important conversation content and listen to conversation content repeatedly
