This is the second DMR radio that I bought. I wanted something stable,
a rock-solid handheld radio that cannot be bricked, since my first radio
did not start any more.

rucksack so I haven't really used it that much so far---I do not have
a station set up at my QTH yet.
The date of this article is calculated back when I made the first video using
this radio, because I couldn't tell when I bought it/got it delivered exactly.
## Built-in soundcard and CAT control
The radio can be connected to a computer with one single USB cable

This is the third HF transceiver that I bought. I was looking for a while for
an alternative to the FT-891, because I wanted something leightweight for my

## Low quality mic?
It's like many plastic mics on other radios, it definitly feels a bit “cheap” and
it was the first (and only; until now) thing that broke. I haven't noticed the broken
mic until I tried to call CQ in the mountains and I fixed it on the same day. I haven't
been out since then...
I bought a Laravel mic from Amazon and I already got a spare in-ear plugs from Sennheiser
which I combined with the [adapters from Robert W2ENY](https://w2eny.com/tx500/) (including
a hand-held push-to-talk button adapter (like the Heil HS-2 but smaller).
This is pleasing to use and you got the sound directly in-ear.
