Basically, you can order the old UV5 r, which not only looks more beautiful than the new colorful and works the same.
After I cloned for all devices by "chirp" the same file on the devices cut the UV5 r from the basic version still best. The Blue of the "Qualette" series makes also still a penetrating error when the squelch comes up when an external speaker is connected. The cracks ungemaein - Mittes resistor can be as aids (10 ohms or something) - is of course not a solution.
Repeater is useful in all versions. Large-signal immunity is for a hand Funke amazingly well.
On direct frequencies there are ever problems with the reception after sending. One can make do so by setting the same frequency in both VFO or Memory.
But then in the menu item 7 should be set to on TDR.
