There are way more brands than two, but you’ve about got the feedback you’re going to get. 

I’m currently investigating the Puxing PX-UV973, which has true dual receive. It looks mostly pretty good. Some workarounds are necessary, but it speaks quite a lot, and it seems about everything can be done from the keypad. I’ll be writing it up pretty soon, I think.
