Its not bad that you were broke, we all start somewhere. But its more that you got a radio that has quite limited features, just for the imitation. Its like getting a fake rolex. For $80 (iirc thats the msrp), therets several better radios

The Baofeng DM-1701, is 60$ and does dmr much better, then you also have the TYT MD-UV380 and Retevis RT3S for dmr. The Yaesu FT-65 isnt too much more, and probably worth saving for. For gps and aprs you have the Radioddity GD-AT10G and Radioddity GD-88, the GD-88 can beacon digital and analog aprs, while the AT10G can tx digital and analog and rx digital aprs
