Baofeng DM-32UV GPS APRS vs TYT MD-UV390

The DM-32UV GPS APRS is the stronger choice for most users. The single most important differentiator is feature set: the Baofeng adds APRS, GPS, and CHIRP programming support, while the TYT offers only DMR and costs $121 less. The Baofeng owners report higher satisfaction at 4.6 out of 5 from 39 reviews versus the TYT's 4.0 out of 5 from 142 reviews. The DM-32UV also transmits at twice the power (10W vs 5W), though it is heavier at 350g and lacks the TYT's IP67 weather rating. We do not have price data for the Baofeng, which matters for budget-conscious buyers. If weatherproofing and lower cost are your priorities, the TYT MD-UV390 is worth considering despite its narrower feature set. For anyone who wants GPS, APRS, full programmability through CHIRP, and stronger performance reports from owners, the Baofeng DM-32UV GPS APRS is the better buy, provided its price remains competitive.
