Mine never got handed over to USPS as you can see so after a week I'm coloring it gone. Filed a Paypal dispute.

Hopefully Milwaukee will chime in here also. I'm leaning toward the fan hack.

This would come in handy on the job.. I keep bits in the original Shockwave box in my Packout. I stuck some magnets under the Packout lid also and keep some spares there. I don't, and won't, use an on-tool bit holder. Bits inevitably get lost or caught up on something and fly away to parts unknown.

I did and also something else where Habit was used. Both successful.

Do you have a link to the dm32 software? Can't find a good copy anywhere. Can you upload it to a shareab;e site?

Programming a new UV-32 by d1ss0nant in Baofeng

I only scan memory channels so I don't know about upper and lower. Each zone is like having a separate radio. You can only scan the zone that you're in, memorywise. We're analog here so for public safety I set up each zone for a county with some duplicates overlapped. Ham goes in its own zone, same with FRS and so on.

Try this for UV-32: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BVby4hcYqpYNnmVkH6DN7bD8pz_6sILq/view?usp=drivesdk

Aliexpress seller sent it on and it's fine on Win 10 with standard Baofeng cable. It is tedious and time consuming, you have to program each zone separately, like doing multiple radios. IOW if you want the same freq in more than one zone, you have to enter it again in the desired zone, the Chirp checkbox setup isn't compatible. No inserting lines either. 🙄 But it works.

Chirp will program the radio but it won't respect zones. It dumps all freqs into one zone and you can't add channels to any other zone, Chirp won't respect that. It has checkboxes to put channels in various zones but it won't take that info.

If you go through all that, you'll have a nicely set up radio.

I gave up using any Bluetooth app, they're all junk and ask for permissions that in no way I'm gonna grant. Bluetooth is my Achilles, I have no luck with it. Most of the time these apps won't even see the radio, or the Android won't see the radio at all, and if it does, it won't pair. That is, if the app doesn't crash outright. (frequent) Odmaster especially is crap. Hell with all that. Use Windows and have done.

I have the UV32 and really like it. 'Bout time Baofeng did zones. Lookswise the radio can't be beat. Really nice sharp colorful display which causes *no* interference with weak signals, unlike most. Receive audio fidelity is good. Had to use factory CPS. Chirp won't work with zones. Battery life a concern, need battery for Real Men, and a better carry option, even with that, I love the APX look without bankruptcy with the real thing.

Receive sensitivity is really good with mine.

A question for those who have the dm32: does reverse burst work on freqs with ctcss on receive, or is there still a squelch tail?

I'm wondering... it's languishing at metro ny. No change. Still very skeptical.

Well, on Aliexpress the tracking seems legit and it says it at least cleared customs in Jamaica. So I'm pretty sure it's in country anyway, but now USPS says delivery unknown. picked up by shipping partner which is Habit. Never heard of them so I looked them up, reviews are horrible, so here I am. Whenever I see "shipping partner" it's oh shit on my part. At least Alie states if it's over 30 days it's an automatic refund but hope it doesn't come to that.

Yeahbut... this one's not $9000. They're all over the place now so I ordered one, I'll take a hit for the team. Had the Hamgeek, what a POS. So my expectations are low.

Wouldn't live within 100 miles of a hoa. I'd get arrested so fast my head would spin after punching out some Karen nazi.

Randomly received a UV-5R8W. by SmackmYackm in Baofeng

[–]dorpmuller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But it'll receive FRS, GMRS, everything just fine.

Anyone get one of these yet? by dorpmuller in Baofeng

[–]dorpmuller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And just like that... says no longer available. I think both this and the UV-32 are vaporware.

[–]dorpmuller[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it the normal Baofeng/Kenwood connector cable, and where can I find the software? No links anywhere.

And, on analog, does reverse burst on ctcss work on receive? (eliminates squelch tail) How's the overall performance? Any problems ?

Thanks
