If you are familiar with the DMR CPS, that should be enough to evaluate if the radio will be a match for you.. It's all in the programing and so far thats a good experience. I did read up on OpenGD77 and Baofengs DMR CPS surpasses options to Open GD77. IMO, $75 bucks is defiantly worth the investment for a DMR radio.. Even though i won one in Baofengs contest, i did also purchase one and have no regrets. Does the DM 32 compare well to my Hytera DMR radios?? Pretty close, enough to impress me..Front end programing on the radio itself is much easier than Hytera, but i prefer to use CPM anyway. I haven't tested out the encryption yet, planning to do this when i get back from camping. I did program and test some ditial channels in MURS and found programing pretty straight forward.. Setting up call groups, private contacts is also straight forward... Heck,, you should try to enter Baofengs monthly contest and try to win one..
