The Baofeng DM-32UV is a handheld two-way radio with Tier II DMR digital operation and 10W transmit power. It receives FM broadcast, NOAA weather, 2m, 1.25m and aviation bands, and adds GPS with digital APRS for position sharing. That combination of DMR, wideband receive and GPS puts it above basic analog handhelds and close to pricier DMR portables. It suits hams, field crews and off-grid users who want digital voice and location tracking in one compact radio.
