Ulefone announced the Armor 3WT this week. It is an Android smartphone with a 1W/2W UHF (400-470MHz). The earlier version was shown as DMR, but it may have also have the ability to use analog. This on states analog and digital, so I suspect that they remained with DMR as the digital mode.

It is a great phone. I haven't yet used the walkie-talkie function, but it's freely programmable (400-480 MHz) and seems to have both analog and DMR modes. As far as I can tell from the poor documentation, it won't scan, and in DMR it can't be set into promiscuous mode. As a phone, it's the best Android phone I've ever had, fast and rugged, 5-day battery life with heavy use, etc. I don't know why people buy carrier-locked phones any more -- this is so much faster to boot up without the carrier-installed cruft. And unlike many Android phones, it integrates signals from GPS, GLONASS and Beidou satellites for much faster positioning, and GPS still works in airplane mode, unlike many other phones. I almost forgot -- FM broadcast supported as well, if headphone plugged in.

Every description I’ve read said it’s 400-470mhz but it goes up to 480mhz? You think there’s any chance it’ll go to 487mhz for rx only?
