I currently have a pair of Baofeng UV-5R radios, looking to add to my collection. Just for local range. I’ve been looking at the Tidradio TD-H3, Quansheng UV-K5, Baofeng UV-17R Pro, and Radtel RT-470X. They each have features that sound good but I can’t decide which to get out of these options.
Yeah, it scans the NOAA channels in the background and when it hears the alert tone, it switches over to that channel even if you’re listening to something else. At least it’s supposed to, haven’t had any bad weather to test it.
Also no, I haven’t messed around with the spectrum analyzer function on it. I’ve got a RTL-SDR that I normally use for that.
