  Baofeng DMR-1801..! Okay, I can say it's value for money! (for a handheld). I rated the battery low because it didn't last. It had a "problem". So, I had to get another one. Now, everything is good..... it has a big difference with the new battery. There are several firmwares available on the internet. Overall, it receives and transmits well. 73!

  It is the most affordable DMR Tier 2 on the market with good build quality for its price. Additional purchase of programming cable is required, which is not included in the package.

  There is nothing close to this money, so it's a dead end. Good construction for baofeng and satisfactory battery. It accepts a few settings from its keyboard, it definitely needs programming from a PC, especially for DMR-related settings, and the program requires familiarity. I won't say anything about reception, transmission, antenna, etc., the known baofeng features, super for its price.

  Regarding the programming cable.
  There is no compatible cable on the market, everyone thinks it's the same as the Anytone's (which I have), but it doesn't work.

  What I did (at my own risk)
  I took a USB extension, stripped the cable to find the 4 wires it consists of. I left the black and red untouched and reversed the other 2. I connected the Anytone cable to the extension and it worked straight away. That's why the Anytone cable doesn't fit, the data wires (+/-) are reversed. Beware of short circuits.

  In general, if there are not many requirements, for use in the city with repeaters or for a hotspot, it is excellent for its price.
