Baofeng DM-1701 vs Quansheng TK11

The DM-1701 is the clear winner here. The single most important differentiator is price: at $58 versus $97, the Baofeng undercuts the Quansheng by nearly 40 percent while delivering a significantly higher composite score of 64 versus 33. Both radios lack published TX power figures, and neither carries an IP rating or supports advanced digital modes beyond what each individually offers. Owners report comparable satisfaction, with the DM-1701 at 4.1/5 from 76 reviews and the TK11 at 4.2/5 from only 15 reviews, meaning the Baofeng has substantially more buyer feedback behind its rating. We do not have the DM-1701's weight specification, so that comparison is incomplete. The TK11 offers no offsetting advantages in listed specs to justify its higher price. Buy the DM-1701 if you want solid reported owner satisfaction at the lowest cost. Buy the TK11 only if you specifically need the known weight specification or have other unstated requirements. For most buyers, the DM-1701 represents better value based on available data.
