Don't buy unless buy RT systems software..
I have programmed many newer HT's from almost every mfg in past 3 years. Many things the manual has nothing on. Like how to get dual watch to actual work right. How to set the Alarm to local. What is B_Lock? Factory s/ware is very crude, no help file and no print function. I spent 5 hrs over 3 days and still haven't solved the issues. The manual is almost worthless, despite apparently good construction.
Great Store
I recently purchase a tyt th-uv88 form BuyTwo way Radios. Everything about this purchase was just like they advertised. Great prices and great service. Can't beat that.
Great hardware
The radio IS a Baofeng beater, unfortunately the programming software is not - Hopefully we'll get Chirp onboard in the future. The radio is definitely worth the price.
What a Deal
TYT has once again made a great radio with the
TH-UV88. Performance is well above what I expeted for this price range and the build quality is excellent, free software and programming cable worked first time with win 10. Radio programmed and on the air with no issues. I am so pleased with this radio that I just ordered a second one!

Great radio
Superb radio for the price! Simple to program, easy to navigate menus, and tough durability.
Solid Little Radio
I have been a fan of TYT for a while since I bought my first MD380. This radio is welcome as a higher quality Chinese radio. I have three Baofeng UV-5R's that will be replaced with three of these radios for the family. They have done a great job with firmware stability. I would not sell my Yaesu FT-60R to use this exclusively, but I almost would.
This will be my new go to when recommending an inexpensive HT to get started with. Any computer programming quirks I have found will be squashed as soon as Chirp [hopefully] supports. You can not use a Chirp export file to import into the TYT CPS. There is a fully functional VFO that you can access using the front panel.
This is a new radio, and give it a little time as more support comes, it could easily be the replacement of the UV-5R. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.

GREAT RADIOS FOR THE MONEY
ORDERED 2 OF THESE RADIOS TO TRY OUT AND SEE HOW THEY PERFORM. THEY ARE DOING A GREAT JOB SO FAR. WE HAVE 25 UV5R'S IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH. I WOULD SAY THAT WE WILL REPLACE THE UV5R WITH THE UV88 AS THEY WARE OUT. A GOOD RADIO FOR THE MONEY.
Memory scan
Love the quality feel and audio. Does not want to scan memory channels. Have not programmed from computer since I have Apple. Missing something?
NOT EASY TO PROGRAM, FIRMWARE IS NOT FRIENDLY
I'm returning mine. I had hoped this TH-UV88 was similar to TYT TH-350, but NOT! Firmware is way different, nomenclature different on all the menu picks, and programming from the front panel is NOT happening. Seems more oriented for FRS or GMRS service, for unlicensed operation. Great TYT quality for plastics etc. but the firmware is killing it for me. I'm a ham radio operator, have many different HT's (dozens of them, from ~10 brands) and I love TYT, but the fw in this one is NO GO.
Great performance, quality and overall value
Best value and performance compared to similar products of same capabilities.
