Side-by-side comparison of specs, features, and scores.
The Baofeng DM32 GPS is the clear winner here. These radios are nearly identical twins with one crucial difference: Radio B explicitly specifies 10W transmit power, while Radio A leaves this critical spec completely unknown. Since both support DMR, APRS, and GPS at virtually the same price point, knowing your actual TX power is non-negotiable for any serious operator. Radio B's superior overall score of 79 versus 75 likely reflects this transparency and possibly real-world performance advantages.
The single most important differentiator is the documented 10W transmit power on Radio B, which gives you guaranteed performance specs instead of guessing.
Radio A might appeal only to budget-conscious operators who don't need confirmed power specifications and are willing to gamble on unknown performance. Radio B should go to anyone wanting a capable DMR radio with GPS and APRS features at this price point.
Buy the Baofeng DM32 GPS. For seventy-one dollars, you get superior specifications transparency and a higher review score with identical features. There's no compelling reason to choose the ambiguous option when the answer is this clear.
