Being a newly licensed ham but having been around coms in one form or another for decades, I liked the features this little guy has to offer. I did however run into a few issues getting started on the programming side. The CPS was a bit confusing until I spent a number of hours going through the Bridgecom university videos and the Freshman class series by Cody. I now feel confident creating a code plug and that I am ready to help the next person do the same.

BC Hand Mic for BCR Repeater

I have two (2) Bridgecom repeaters and both perform flawlessly with excellent range. I have been an amateur radio operator for 57 years and have dealt with many radio resellers with varying levels business acumen. Bridgecom Systems provides the expertise, support and attentiveness that many vendors don't.

My early impressions about this radio are pretty much in line with most others--good build quality, intuitive GUI , fantastic audio and very good screen. The screen does struggle a bit outdoors. The volume control does not hold low volume well. It skips to a somewhat high setting when you don't necessarily want it.
I enjoy building my own codeplug and noticed the programming structure reminded me of the DMA of Uniden Scanners. I enjoy the various settings in look and sound for the radio. It is stable and performs consistently. I like it and would recommend it to others.

My husband and I own the ECHO GMRS Radios and like them very much. Great signal and coverage and a good solid feel. We will be ordering another radio for our son for Christmas.

Great DMR handheld with a lot of features. Beautiful screen, intuitive menu, and loud, crisp audio make this a very well-rounded transceiver for digital work.

I’m new to amateur radio but I’ve used a lot of two way radios and cbs for years. This handheld is everything you could want in an easy to use package. Quality is there for being a Chinese product. A+ all the way. I like it so much I bought there moble unit.

I purchased this portable at the Halloween special deal event. To be honest, I felt somewhat intimidated by the programming structure. However, after watching some very instructive videos on Bridgecom University it all came together fairly quick. The high quality of this portable was immediately apparent both physically and its operation. I’m 100% satisfied and recommend it for DMR and Analog operation. Time to safe some more $$ so I can get the new mobile as well. I had indicated that if Anytone make their mobiles capable of monitoring aircraft communications I would buy one in a heart beat. They listened and it’s now a reality. Hopefully soon I will get one too. Thank you Bridgecom.

Having an extra battery with the Buddy radio is great! I can have a lot of activity and have backup power to spare. Thank you!

Those little radios have big harts. A preaty good audio and easy to operate. I feel very please with the Buddy Handheld FRS Radio Bundle.

As I am new to the Ham Radio world, this is my first and only radio so far. The training has been great and I am very happy with my new hobby.

Worked Great

Quick shipping and easy to use radios. I know they will be handy when with non Hams.

I love the new hotspot from Bridgecom. I didn't get it preprogrammed so there was a little bit of a learning curve but by the end of the night I was on the air. I'm new to ham radio and DMR but even so it wasn't hard to set up. Plus their customer service is outstanding if you run into problems! You won't regret getting it
