$400 for an HT these days will buy you a lot of radio. As such, you
need to give us more criteria to help guide you:<br>
<br>
- Are you only looking for an analog FM radio or something that
supports digital modes?<br>
<br>
- If also digital modes, would you want DMR, Yaesu System
Fusion, D-star, P25, etc?<br>
<br>
<br>
- If just analog FM, would you want just one VFO or two real VFOs
(dual watch)<br>
<br>
- Would you want full duplex support?<br>
<br>
- Would you want wide band receive of say HF, SHF, etc? Maybe RX
of other modes like USB, LSB, CW, etc?<br>
<br>
- Would you want APRS on this HT?<br>
<br>
- What about say Bluetooth audio?<br>
<br>
- Is programming via Chirp a requirement? If not, is computer
based programming a requirement? If so, what OS? WIndows, Mac,
Linux?<br>
<br>
<br>
I can keep going here but I think you get the point.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello Friends,
I am using an 8 year old radio, Wouxun KG-UV3D. It’s worked well for my limited use. I’m looking to get a new hand-held radio under $400. Any suggestions on radios not made in China? Suggestions on Chinese radios?
Thanks for your expertise!
