Question: Can the BaoFeng UV-3R PLUS be programmed to have alphanumeric display or just the frequencies?
Document: The screen on this is nothing revolutionary. It reminds me of an alarm clock when compared to the displays on the UV-5R radio family. The display is not horrible, but I am not personally too fond of the orange backlight with the standard 16 segment display. Out of all Baofeng radios, I think the GT-3 has the best display out of the radios, and I would place the display on this radio near the bottom.
With only 19 menu items and a two-line display, manual programming of frequencies and setup for repeaters is easy and intuitive once you figure out the order to use the 3 buttons primarily involved (plus the selector knob on top). There are tip sheets easily found online if the manual's stilted description is too opaque. One thing missing: no alphanumeric channel descriptions, so you'll have to remember the channels by order entered and frequency.
It was and still is a fun little radio, but replacement batteries are difficult to find and expensive. It also isn't particularly loud, and in a noisy environment, can be difficult to hear.The Baofeng UV-3R Plus is very similar with some notable differences. It's slightly taller. Its output audio is extremely loud and clear.
Just another indication that you get a lot of capability in a small package and small price with this unit.Update:  Since the below review, I've had a chance to test the Baofeng UV-3R+ with several mountain-top 2 meter repeaters in the Las Vegas area. I've upgraded my opinion of its ability to reach more distant repeaters, so long as they are high enough to have a clear path (I left my more guarded initial opinion unedited below).
The radio arrived in one piece. Everything was there and was in new condition. The battery was 2 thirds charged when it arrived. I installed the batter into the radio and was able to reach repeaters more than 20 miles away using 2 watts with the stock antenna. This was also from within the mountains of western Virginia. This radio is great. Small, full function and very inexpensive. I would not be afraid to order anything from this vendor. Will be ordering another Baofeng UV-3R+ soon.
Not so with the UV-3R PLUS. It uses a battery pack that slides on and locks securely in place.It's been torture tested by dropping from 15 meters, and run over with a car. It survived quite nicely without any damage. I've seen some negative reviews about this and other Chinese radios about difficulty programming, Blah Blah Blah. Yes, it does have a different procedure for manual programming than the Japanese radios (I might add the Japanese radios were just as abysmal to program at first).
- this one should be avoided.Mark II: Two line display, full setup menu (18 choices, so it can be completely programmed without hooking to a computer), single antenna (at least later versions), some of the technical issues fixed - this one is a serviceable choice. One nice thing: it uses a commonly available Li-Ion battery shared with some popular digital cameras, so spare batteries are inexpensive and easy to find.
I've programmed in some of those frequencies to monitor on occasion, but plan not to key down on them unless it is an emergency (when even the law gives some latitude for communicating in life-threatening situations). If you want to monitor a frequency that you can't transmit on, consider programming an offset to somewhere you can (I don't know if transmission can be prevented with an odd-ball transmit frequency or offset - that's worth checking!
Poor instructions on programming this radio, but once you get a repeater or simplex frequency programmed in, you will be amazed at the quality of this little disposable rig. Just be sure to stay away from any frequencies that you will need a license for, like amateur, ground mobile radio service repeaters,(business, police, fire, federal, and emergency). Can be programmed for the Family Radio Service  and the simplex frequencies in the GMRS band and can be used legally there.
If you are that into using repeater networks, then you know you need the keypad, and will step up to one of the many models that have one (such as Baofeng's UV-5R).Like some other inexpensive Chinese HT's, this one has a very slow scan function and makes a poor scanner. If you don't have too many channels programmed it is OK in channel scan.
Answer: just frequencies are displayed
