DMR radio portable vs mobile

TYT 380 cool and nice features, including power-on protection, voice prompt, and the priority scan. One downside I would like to emphasize is the lack of adjustment for the audio. MD 9600 is a great radio for in-vehicle or even as a base station, works great on analog, the digital or dmr side not so much. The programming software is pretty confusing at 1st but after a bit of a learning curve it gets easier, definitely not the greatest or easiest to use, additionally at least for me, programming any type of DMR repeater is a nightmare, while I've been able to transmit out, I can never seem to get any audio coming back, the Private call feature at least for my unit is not working, everything has to be done in group call mode.

 

To be honest if you are close by the DMR site or the repeater has great coverage I say go with the portable of your choosing if you are not close or the coverage isn't that good for a portable get the mobile radio. All depends on what you want in the radio.
