Baofeng UV-28 vs Radtel RT-880

The UV-28 is the stronger choice for most buyers. The single most important differentiator is specification completeness and price. The UV-28 offers GPS, CHIRP compatibility, known 10W transmit power, and full specs at $43, while the RT-880 costs $74 with several missing specifications including transmit power, weight, and CHIRP support. The owner ratings are close (4.1 vs 4.3 out of 5), with the RT-880 drawing from more reviews, but this modest difference doesn't outweigh the UV-28's clearer feature set and lower price.

The UV-28 is right for budget-conscious users who value GPS functionality and the ability to program via CHIRP. The RT-880 makes sense only if you have specific requirements we cannot evaluate from available data, or if you prioritize the larger review sample despite missing specs and higher cost.

Buy the Baofeng UV-28. It delivers better transparency, GPS capability, standard programming support, and genuine value at nearly half the RT-880's price.
