The new UV-5RM have a much better display and cool features like one-key frequency copy and USB-C charging.

Can you link me? The only 5RM I am pulling up is a Baofeng.

Is the 5RM as hackable as these?

The Baofeng is what the parent you're replying to is talking about. I own it as well and it does have a nice display and one button copy. But I prefer the TIDRADIO TD-H3. Not as cool as the Quansheng in terms of hackable - but a phenomenal radio for the money. I bought more radios in the last year than I've bought in the last decade. I've got both Ham and GMRS licensing in the US.

Thats TIDRADIO TD-H3 is pretty cool looking.

Yeah we live in an interesting time where you can get powerful HAM handhelds for a fraction of what they used to cost.
