Lightning Deal: Baofeng DM-1701 DMR

On By ncscoutIn communications

Amazon’s Cyber Monday deals are pretty decent from what little bit I’ve seen, but the Baofeng DM-1701 is currently on a lightning deal for 24% off- get it while they’re there.

This is one of the best options I’ve found for small team communications and one of the radios I suggest having in the RTO Course. Featuring a dual band operation (VHF & UHF) and Analog operation along with all the advantages of DMR, this is an awesome deal on a good radio. Check out my last on how to program it in the field.

Get squared away while you can.

    Thanks! Too bad they’ll only let you have one. Guess I’ll have to pay retail for another one.

  4. Ok – I scored one. I meant to buy a pair (a language dies with the 2nd-to-last speaker) but Amazon said, “uh uh – you already did, and 1 is the house limit”. Mine will arrive (Amazon estimates) on 10 Dec. I had the presence of mind to buy an after-market antenna, with substantially better performance than the OEM rubber ducky.

    And now I wait – and (as you say) read your previous memo, on how to set it up in the field). I already have 8 UV-5R rigs and extra battery packs and after-market antennas. I can outfit a small posse – or 8 patrols. I’ll need some field instruction; it will be the spring before I can afford to pay for a class (I have other fish to fry…). When I started the purchase, Amazon said that the deal was 24% consumed; when they finally kicked me to the curb, it sat at 50%. I suspect somebody will get each one. — Laird Taylor N7RSR Warrenton VA
