Speaking of the user database, that's another feature this radio has because it was designed for hams.

Second-hand Ailunce HD1 10W DMR dual band handheld transceiver, FM Radio The FM radio function allows you to listen to radio entertainment in your spare time. I’ll have a YouTube video coming and I hope to have a demo comparing the Ailunce HD1 and my Baofeng on the local analog repeater. Having an extra set of communication helps with safety, as well as constant updates of information which really allows me to work confidently in the great outdoors. Note: If you plug the programming cable into the computer and the device manager displays "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM4)", it indicates that your programming cable is a new version.Some systems have advanced 24/7 logging and just keying up a couple of times on a repeater on a unused talkgroup with a unknown radio ID while the place is closed is enough to alert someone in the morning that there has been an intruder! The Ailunce HD1 is more expensive than the Baofeng because the HD1 is a analog and digital DMR transceiver and without question is a better built radio. GPS Function: Gives you lat long, altitude, bearing, and speed Support to text the information to another radio with the same DMR protocol.

What is more of a concern are the potential health risks of transmitting for extended periods at full power (10 watts) while communicating over VHF. Commercial radios like those made by Motorola and Hytera don't have this feature at all, except in the case of the TYT MD-380 which had unofficial firmware made that does support this. Another question people asked me about this radio is whether it’s a proper real DMR radio, and not a cheap Chinese knock off like the DM-5R. Since DMR is a commercial standard, normally DMR radios would only hear the talkgroups they have been programmed to listen for. The programming cable, AC cable, charging cradle, wrist strap, belt clip and 1 battery are included in the box.To the contacts I've made had said I have crystal clear audio and the Rx is absolutely amazing and as you'd expect from a high quality radio. The menus are easy and not complicated at all to learn and unlike most DMR radios, this one is "field programmable".
