Baofeng DM32 2-Pack

The DM32 2-Pack is aimed at newly licensed operators or budget-conscious clubs looking to dip into DMR without committing serious money to a name-brand tier. It positions itself between cheap analog-only handhelds and mid-range digital radios like the TYT MD-UV380, offering dual-mode operation at a price point that makes buying two at once feel reasonable.

The headline capability here is the DMR plus APRS plus GPS combination. For a Technician working local digital repeaters or a group wanting basic position tracking without carrying a separate device, that feature set has genuine practical value. The 4000-channel memory is generous and the 2500mAh battery is competitive, though TX power figures are not published by Baofeng for this model, which makes real-world range claims impossible to verify. The radio scores middling overall, with features and portability as relative strengths.

The missing warranty, the unrated water resistance, and the absent TX power spec are honest reasons for caution. This is a radio for experimentation and learning, not a primary go-bag unit. If you need a proven DMR handheld for regular club use, look elsewhere; if you want two digital-capable radios to evaluate the mode on a tight budget, the math is hard to argue with.
