Hi,

UV-5RA is the newer model compared to UV-5R, but is it better? Is it still as programable and so on? Anybody know?

I have one, and it is programmable using the UV-5R mode in CHIRP. I don't think it's better, although it does look a little nicer in my opinion. The only downside is that the extended-life battery for the UV-5R does not fit the UV-5RA without application of a Dremel.
