Great radio, an alternative to Baofengs, which are rightly but monotonously recommended for beginners. In my opinion, it's worth paying extra for the TYT for the quality. On the plus side: the radio comes unlocked and with up-to-date firmware. I recommend it!

Dual Watch stands out as a key function of the radio, enabling users to listen to two channels simultaneously. This feature provides the capability to monitor two separate frequencies, automatically prioritizing the one receiving a call. The TH-UV88 radio incorporates CTCSS and DCS systems, as well as straightforward encryption through a scrambler.
PTT button, Kenwood connector, programming capability, VOX function
