Description:
This is by far my favorite Baofeng so far. From a distance it looks nearly identical to a Motorola APX radio. So far it works well for the price and what I use it for. I would still rather have a commercial radio though. It's still a great beginner radio though and it's cheap too!

Sound Effects:
Talk Permit Tone
This tone is used to indicate to the user that they are clear to talk on a digital channel. It can be programmed for digital modes on conventional simplex and conventional repeaters. On digital simplex the tone serves no practical use other than being a byproduct of pressing PTT but on digital repeaters it indicates that the radio has authenticated with the repeater and you are free to talk on the channel.
TX Error Tone
This tone is used to indicate that the radio has failed to key up to a digital repeater and is not able to transmit properly.
BDC-1200
This is what BDC-1200 sounds like when listened to in a raw transmission. BDC-1200 sends a 4 digit ID number over the air at the start, end, or both the start and end of a transmission. BDC-1200 is Baofeng's recreation of MDC-1200. Radios that support MDC are fully compatible with BDC and vice versa. This specific ID burst contains the ID "0612"
DTMF
This is an example of what a DTMF radio ID can sound like. DTMF is the same tone technology used on telephones to dial phone numbers. This specific audio has the numbers "0612".
