UV-5RA is the newer model compared to UV-5R, but is it better? Is it<br>
still as programable and so on? Anybody know?<br>

It is the firmware version, not the case style, that can determine which is newer. Firmware versions newer than BFB297 all masquerade as BFB297 when pressing and holding the [3] key while turning on the radio. You can see the 'real' firmware version by using CHIRP. Visit the Miklor.com website for details.<br>
