I initially just wanted to buy a machine and have some fun, but I thought the classic BaoFeng UV-5R was a good deal for only a few dollars.
Someone said that the Bao Feng indicator is not good, and it's better to use the classic QuanSheng UV-K6, which costs only 100 yuan.
Someone said that the K6 isn't very attractive, and that the previous Senhaix 8800 is much better, costing around $400.
Some people say that the Senhaix 880s are not very good, and that the previous Wiino VR-N76, which has APRS capability, is a better option for around $800.
Someone says that the handheld unit has a relatively low power output, and it's not as good as the previous car-mounted ZASTONE D9000, which had a power output of around 1200.
Some people say that ZASTONE has low playability, and it's not as good as the previous Digital Tabletop DM9100 for around $1300.
Someone said that the Hongke is not as high-end as the previous Hytera HP780, which costs around 2000.
Some people say that Hytera (海能达) is essentially copying technology, and it's better to just buy the original Motorola R7 for around $3,000.
Some people say that Motorola is a professional radio and not suitable for amateur enthusiasts. Instead, consider the Yaesu FT-891, which costs around $4000.
Someone said that the 891 is essentially a shortwave radio, and an A license isn't suitable for it. Furthermore, its operation seems counterintuitive. Instead, I recommend getting an ICOM IC-705, which covers the entire band, and you can find one through a reseller for around $700.
As a result, I purchased an ICOM IC-9700 (for UV band) and an ICOM IC-7760 (for shortwave), along with the antenna and accessories, for only a few thousand yuan. That's quite reasonable.
