Bought mine off Amazon for $29.99 and came with a charging cradle. For $30 bucks, you can't beat it. If no one likes it then don't buy it. So many sad hams crying about baofeng but they all seem to buy them too. I was impressed with the tonal quality and volume of the AR-5RM and power output too. Perfect for me.

Big question here from a noob. I have been trying my best to get pmr 446 frequencies to work with this model. But it seems completely locked to what is already programmed on it. Is this programmed firmware wise with an OTP?

@higginsreport2 ай бұрын
It's preference, like buying shoes. I wouldn't fret too much, get one with the plan of buying something better down the road. Maybe a yaesu ft-70 or 60? under $200. I like the UV-17r form factor a little better than this one...but they are very similar. At these prices you can get more than one and decide which one you prefer?

How did you program BM and then TGs into the ID-5100? That was pretty slick. I assume DTMF but still not sure how that would be programmed?
@higginsreport3 ай бұрын
Using RT systems software you just put an entry under the DSTAR tab / DSTAR settings. Rather than a reflector entry you just have a "your call sign" entry of for example BM3102, then add another line for a TG, like 3100G. I also added a 4000P (for disconnect). Now when you go to "Your call Sign" on the radio you first select the BM3102 and PTT, once it connects to BM, then you select the TG and PTT. I've only done this with the Openspot 4 pro...works great!

I expect limited features in a $32 radio. I'm also not surprised when it's a dirty radio. I don't care personally whether it can be unlocked or not.

@@higginsreport that’s funny because I bought the 5RM for 12 dollars new from aliexpress and it’s unlocked and transmits at 10 watts plus rx air band, so not really an excuse or answer for the 17R being such a piece of garbage.

Not that I know of.....You can place the main band in Channel mode and the sub band in VFO mode and then make sure they are set to the same memory location. You'll have freq and name displayed at the same time. Unfortunately this defeats being to monitor 2 different frequencies at the same time - if both are set to the same memory channel.
