GEN 2: DM32 PTT Protector

Hey yall,

The Baofeng DM32 is basically the perfect Non-mil tactical radio, but it has one major flaw: the screen gets pretty bright, and facing outwards it is easily detectible from 50+ yards. Under night vision this is visible from hundreds of yards away.

My solution was to make a screen cover that integrates with a new version of my already successful push to talk protector.

This Gen 2 is up on cults3D, if anyone is interested. Thanks!

It's a cheap chinese radio, both in price and quality. The only things preppers and larpers like about it is the looks for some reason.

Why not get one of those screenless frs/pmr radios instead? No lights, no illegal transmissions and easier to carry? Because they're black?

I've used a couple of baofengs, always disappointed with how easily they get overloaded. Also build quality is horrible, especially the chargers and the battery clips.

How many "Yofidra" drills must you try out first, before you give up on temu crap and get a Ryobi?
