    Radioddity x Baofeng RD-5R DMR Ham Amateur Two Way Radio, VHF/UHF Dual Band Dual Time Slot Walkie Talkie 1024 Channels Tier I & II Compatible with MOTOTRBO, Free Programming Cable

    • Don't know how that passed QC.It does have a nice, sharp display--better than the UV-5R, but the build quality, at least in the unit I received, was substantially worse than the radios that usually go for $30 on sale.
    • The display is clear and well laid out
    • The display is better than all analog models of Baofeng and similar radios
    • It has a nice wide display which shows more characters than my other radios
    • The display and features implemented in this design are an improvement over older Baofeng radios, but the RD-5R that I purchased does not receive UHF signals from even close repeaters whether digital or analog, not even in monitor mode
    • (USB HID - works out of the box on Windows XP thru Windows 10 without any drivers).RD-5R Cons: The display is slightly smaller than the GD-77 by about 1 line of text.
