Does Anyone else think that the Baofeng UV32/DM32 looks like an APX 6000/8000 minus the top screen?

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Yes, they replicated quite correctly the general form factor (of the /\/\ radios), but the resemblance stops right there… they still are ~100$ Baofeng radios, with niceties yes, but not in the class of the /\/\ radios !

I think the UV32/ DM32 even has better reviews than the Hamgeek thingy ... There are some in depth videos on youtube of both models.

Well, I was able to answer my own question (I guess akin to talking to myself)(Yeah, I'm getting old):

The passwords work, but you have to enter them each time that you want access the option under "Tool(T)".
Also, I believe that v1.28 corrects the initial bugs/issues listed below.

I have both radios, the UV and DM. Couldn't resist. IMO the UV32 works great. DM32 has issues with scanlists and intermittent poor squelch sensitivity..Haven't programmed dmr yet. As a glorified scanner with great analog sensitivity the UV can't be beat. Build quality is good and they got rid of the damned flashlight, finally. IDGAF with transmit, 99.9/10% of use is receive only and I'm rural so I don't sweat the front end either. YMMV.
When you get a chance, could you please see if you can program in RX frequencies above 470 Mhz?
In our area, police and fire/ems use 506-508 MHz, analog with CTCSS. I program as RX only.
I tried to enter frequencies above 470 into the CPS, but it reverted right back to 400.
I went into the Embedded Information area using the password, made sure that Frequency Mode was set to USA FCC, but there were only read or write buttons, no ok button.
I'm guessing that it's not working because I do not have a radio attached to read and write to, but I wanted to confirm it. I don't want to purchase the radio, if it will not suit my needs.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I got my UV-32 the other day, and it's a fun radio. I'm using both Chirp and the Baofeng SW for the programming and it's very simple. I'm using it pretty much as a Aviation scanner. I do have a question about Zone/Banks. I've named the banks and have it set to display the frequency usage name. The name shows up for the frequency, but it just shows Zone instead of the Bank name. Anyone figure out a way to change it? Still, it's not a deal breaker since I only paid $40 for it on AliExpress. Just wish it had the top display, but beggars can't be choosy!
