$400 for an HT these days will buy you a lot of radio. As such, you need to give us more criteria to help guide you:
- Are you only looking for an analog FM radio or something that supports digital modes?
- If also digital modes, would you want DMR, Yaesu System Fusion, D-star, P25, etc?
- If just analog FM, would you want just one VFO or two real VFOs (dual watch)
- Would you want full duplex support?
- Would you want wide band receive of say HF, SHF, etc? Maybe RX of other modes like USB, LSB, CW, etc?
- Would you want APRS on this HT?
- What about say Bluetooth audio?
- Is programming via Chirp a requirement? If not, is computer based programming a requirement? If so, what OS? WIndows, Mac, Linux?
I can keep going here but I think you get the point.

Hello Friends,
I am using an 8 year old radio, Wouxun KG-UV3D. It’s worked well for my limited use. I’m looking to get a new hand-held radio under $400. Any suggestions on radios not made in China? Suggestions on Chinese radios?
Thanks for your expertise!
