Handheld Transceiver (HT) Radio Comparisons

Since it is so hard to find a good chart that accurately compares the different models of Amateur or GMRS Radios, I have begun creating several SocialCompare comparison charts for them. So far, I have quite a few of the available handheld transceiver (HT) amateur radios currently on the market including those by the brands Yaesu, Baofeng, AnyTone, TIDRADIO, and TYT (Tytera). Since many of these radios are also capable of covering the FRS (Family Radio Service), GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service), MARS (Military Auxiliary Radio System), CAP (Civil Air Patrol), MURS (Multi-Use Radio Service), and Airband (AM frequencies used by aircraft and aircraft control towers), that information is included as well. Instead of trying to recreate everything here, I am linking directly to the SocialCompare website where I created the comparisons and where the user experience is better. There, you can reorder and hide rows and columns so the chart shows only the information you are interested in. I will be adding more as time allows, and as I am able to find more information. Sadly, a lot of the Chinese companies have a lack of information on their websites, and their user manuals are hard to find and download. If you have any missing information, or see incorrect information, please register an account on the SocialCompare website, and make corrections as needed. I only ask that you are 100% sure before you add or change any information on these charts.
