Radtel RT-950 PRO vs TYT MD-UV390

The TYT MD-UV390 is the better choice for most buyers. The single most important differentiator is DMR support: the MD-UV390 includes it while the RT-950 PRO does not, making the TYT compatible with a far larger digital mode ecosystem.

The RT-950 PRO offers APRS and GPS for location-based applications, plus Bluetooth connectivity. However, we lack pricing and weight data for the Radtel, which limits a complete comparison. The MD-UV390 has a known price of $121, rated IP67 for weather resistance, and delivers 5W versus the RT-950's 4W. Both show strong owner satisfaction: the MD-UV390 at 4.0/5 from 142 reviews and the RT-950 at 4.1/5 from 371 reviews. Owners report favorably on both radios.

The MD-UV390 should appeal to anyone entering DMR networks or wanting standard dual-band digital capability at a transparent price point. The RT-950 PRO suits users specifically interested in APRS tracking or Bluetooth features who don't need DMR. Given the MD-UV390's clear DMR advantage, established pricing, and IP67 rating against incomplete specifications for the Radtel, the TYT is the safer recommendation.
