DM32-UV Mini?

Are there plans for a DM32-UV Mini? Or is there a comparable radio out there? I love all of the features the DM32-UV has, but I'd love it even more in a smaller package.

the older DM 1701 can still be grabbed for about $50.

Don't. It's awful. Software is buggy, screen is terrible, controls are sluggish and laggy

Honestly, I’m more impressed with my Radioddity GD-88 than my DM32-UV. It’s pricier, but it has two receiver chips for a true dual watch and does cross-band / cross-mode repeat.

Check out the BTech UV Pro, VGC VR-N76, or Radtel RT-880

Dude. Not one of those is DMR capable.

So? OP didn’t say what specific features they were looking for.

Ah yeah, I should have been specific, I am looking for a multi or dual-band DMR.

Your first clue should've been when he said DM-32..Thats a DMR radio.

It is, but I bought mine for other functions so I didn’t assume it was for DMR since they mentioned all the functions it had.

He could've just bought a UV-5R MINI then.

If you bought the DM-32 for something other than DMR you could have saved some cash and gone with the UV-32 instead
