Any word on when this radio will be released again? Or if it will ever be?
Looking into buying another HT.
Wanted to know your thoughts on these two comparisons:

BaoFeng UV-82C vs Anytone NSTIG-8R

And

Anytone Termn 8R vs Anytone AT-3318UV-E

Are there any other HT available that have the 2 Tone pager options?

Of the two comparisons, which would you buy?

I would not hold my breath for this radio coming back. Word has it that the FCC enforcement bureau has "captured" several of these and is investigating. The outcome of this investigation remains to be seen. There is an extensive discussion (TLDR) in this thread regarding the developments surrounding this radio.

BaoFeng UV-82C vs Anytone NSTIG-8R

And

Anytone Termn 8R vs Anytone AT-3318UV-E

Can't comment on any of the AnyTone radios, but I've owned a UV-82.
It's a decent radio for a WOC portable. TX and RX audio is outstanding, as is the form factor.

It is not perfect, as with most Chinese WOC radios, scan speed is painfully slow, but for the price what can one expect?

I did not have any intermod issues on the UV82 I owned. It actually had a pretty decent front end for a WOC radio and I would own one again.

Just for the simple reason that the Anytone Tech INMTIG8R is only available from the source, sold by the importer of the company and that company has been shown to lie and deceive customers, I would choose anything else by default.

A readio that is not much more in price is the Wouxun uv8d. It has 999 channels, groups like the Termn8r, fm radio, it lacks the am portion of the airband, but it is much nicer on the crossband function. The Termn8r ,, you hold two buttons down, then turn on the radio, while the uv8d, you punch one button. It have a similar frequency coverage, the uv8d lacks the low band coverage, but thats am only so not alot heard there anyway. The Term8r has a 1 watt speaker that is really nice while the uv8d, I think is 800mw. Battery capacity with optional batteries is about or alittle bit larger. The Wouxun comes with a 2800 mah battery while the Termn8r has a 2200 mah battery. Both are about the same size and weight. The screen is much larger on the Wouxun, though you should prabably concider a case as ther large front crystal is flush mounted in the case and coulkd crack or get scratched in normal use. So the Wouxun would be a good choice if you want another radio.
