$400 for an HT these days will buy you a lot of radio. As such, you need to give us more criteria to help guide you:

- Are you only looking for an analog FM radio or something that supports digital modes?

- If also digital modes, would you want DMR, Yaesu System Fusion, D-star, P25, etc?


- If just analog FM, would you want just one VFO or two real VFOs (dual watch)

      - Would you want full duplex support?

- Would you want wide band receive of say HF, SHF, etc? Maybe RX of other modes like USB, LSB, CW, etc?

   - Would you want APRS on this HT?

   - What about say Bluetooth audio?

- Is programming via Chirp a requirement? If not, is computer based programming a requirement? If so, what OS? WIndows, Mac, Linux?


I can keep going here but I think you get the point.

Hello Friends,

I am using an 8 year old radio, Wouxun KG-UV3D.  It’s worked well for my 
limited use.  I’m looking to get a new hand-held radio under $400.  Any 
suggestions on radios not made in China?  Suggestions on Chinese radios?

Thanks for your expertise!
