I just received a RPV516A and it reminds me of a Kenwood. A Kenwood battery works and so does the programming cable. Software seems a lot like Kenwood also. Does anyone know who makes the RELM radio?

I checked the info filed with the FCC for Type Acceptance of the ARURPV516A.

It looks like it is made in China for RELM by "Shenzhen HYT Science & Technology Co.". Their name is on the manual that was filed with the FCC.

It is probably just a "Chinese copy" of a Kenwood.
