I assume that's a single band radio, available in any of those four frequency ranges?
If I remember right some Asian and European countries have private land mobile radio there.Really not sure who would use a 350-390 split.

Looks like another CoValue/CS-700 type radio (which is a total copycat of the XPR-6500's menus etc).

Good for the hobby though, I have nothing against a low priced hobby radio vs a $700 commercial radio. As always you'll get what you pay for, but what you are paying for might be just what you need!
The people who sell these radios will not sell you the software, or cable. Call them & ask. Screw them.
Software and cables are a big issue for the non-brand names. Some can be programmed from the keyboard (FPP), but the complexity of a DMR code plug with talkgroups and other settings makes it a challenge. Others only have partial ability to changes certain parameters or already programmed frequencies.
Let me make note I own the Tytera MD-380 in UHF. Has front panel Programming in both analog/digital. Has 128 bit ENCRYPTION. For 168.00 is well worth it. Owned it for 2 months so far and had no problems.
Also.. You WILL not find tier 3 ( trunking capable) DMR radios under 300 dollars per radio ( new) right now. Future yes, but not at the moment.
All cheaper ones will be tier 1 and 2.
THE Tytera is capable of talking with MotoTRBO and other Tier 1 and 2 radios.
Now as for mobiles - I had my heart set on the Kydera CDM-550 which seems GREAT for $300, but then my issue came that my wife's CR-V has limited space to mount such a radio, and my Wrangler means I would be mounting it so low I would have a hard time utilizing the screen and buttons. And sadly, no remote head kit for it.
The CS800 is the only "cheap" mobile I know of - and I cannot seem to find enough good press on it to make it worth the purchase... unless they've fixed the issues... but still not as feature-full as the Tytera. I wish someone would make a mobile version of the MD-380 and I'd literally buy 3 that day.
Anyone have any suggestions that aren't Motorola or Hytera for a good mobile that can have a remote head?
