BAOFENG DM32 DMR

The DM-32 is a nicely built durable radio. The sound quality far exceeded my expectations. I get phenomenal audio reports all the time. People stress that I definitely got my money’s worth. Customer service from Matt has been beyond the best I have ever received hands down from any other vendor.

This is a shockingly powerful radio for the price. In additional to the DMR capabilities, which includes global navigation satellite services, its capable of AES 256 encryption, can listen (though not transmit) to air band, has a battery retention screw, and combined with a field expedient jungle antenna at either end, can reach out over 20 miles in mountainous terrain.

The one drawback I can find is that it has no waterproofing rating. It’s not terrible, but heavy rain for a long time can seep in.

Buy it, but keep it indoors if the weather is bad.

This is by far the best build for a handheld that I've bought. Programming on the keyboard is decent, better if you use the proprietary software. I was able to program the ham channels of clubs in my area, gmrs and noaa channels fast. I'm dipping my toes into DMR so I don't have any feedback on it yet. I'd definitely buy a 2nd to go with this for DMT capabilities though.

Hi, I sent a response in regards to the DM32 UV Radio that I had purchased 10 days ago. The uhf section of the radio is not receiving and you have to open up the squelch to barely hear anything. I contacted Baofeng Support and they stated that the reciever on uhf is probably off specs. I would like to return it since they told me by email to return it too the Distributor. I realize there is a restock fee. Your attention on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Respectfully yours,

It's stuck on the Chinese menu. It was English when it arrived and during an upload, it turned to Chinese. I have tried every remedy I have seen online. No luck.
