Seems unlikely, but perhaps its been superseded by the DM1801A, which is basically the same radio, but with less buttonsradiopheen wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 6:27 pmI heard a rumor that the Baofeng DM-1801 is being discontinued, by my source is pretty crap. Wondering if anyone can confirm or has any additional information? Thanks!

No. Its non commercial / non donation
Re: DM-1801 Discontinued?
Does anyone know or recommend a site to buy this model of radio (Baofeng DM-1801)? I tried on AliExpress, but it's really hard to find...
Re: DM-1801 Discontinued?
DM-1801 is hard to get but several sellers announce them. dissapointing.
Radioddity has GD77 on stock US and europe! i would go there.

Re: DM-1801 Discontinued?
Alibaba still has listings of vendors selling DM-1801, with minimum order quantity of 2.
However, they price is probably higher than a GD-77 direct from Radioddity.
Re: DM-1801 Discontinued?
Many of the Alibaba resellers are still listing the DM-1801 despite having no stock and when you message them they just say: “not available”
I think the DM-1801 is finished now.

Re: DM-1801 Discontinued?
These companies (Baufeng and TYT) will make whatever they can sell and make a profit on, but there is a minumum order value before they will bother to put the radio down the production line. The other problem is the parts shortage.
The 2 things combined may mean that the DM-1801 is now history, but its probably impossible to know for certain.
Re: DM-1801 Discontinued?
was checking things on Alibaba and it seems Baofeng is making the DM-1801 as they are offering 'sample' of one piece for US $70. The shipping and taxes and transaction fee add another $28.21 to the cost to have it delivered directly to me here in the US. That totals $98.21.
Not much of a bargain as I paid $60 each with free shipping from a US supplier last year when I ordered two of them. Yet at least they are still made / available. Maybe some distributors will pick them up get them to the markets at better than the sample price direct from the factory.
Just for the record they state 24 or less days from time of order to delivery.

I think most of the rumours about the GD77 and DM1801 being discontinued, are really just the global chip shortage problem, and also the continueing lockdowns in China, so that not much is currently being manufactured in China
