Just for clarification, there are three separate models of the PRC-152 clones:
There is the original, old-school one, that has a polymer body, and operates as a basic radio with VHF/UHF access.
There are the new-school, aluminum-bodied versions, with the functionality of the PRC-148 (Cross-band repeating, full-compatibility with various .mil headsets, trucker mics, etc.).
The differences between the two new, aluminum versions are:
UV: 5W Max Output. VHF/UHF
UVH: 10W Max Output. VHF/UHF/HF(10m)
The link above is for the UVH version.
I was able to test compatibility with the CR123 adapters, AA adapters, and issued Harris batteries. All fully function.

The biggest difference I've noticed thus far, in terms of hardware (compared to the PRC-148), is that it also has Analog Encryption (Voice Frequency Inversion), the ability to switch between modes with a secondary lever below the volume potentiometer, quick-key functions on the front panel, and the addition of the 28Mhz/10m band.
It's cheaper than the 148 by about $100; mostly because the 148 ships with a .mil Thales battery, and the new 152s drop with a TRI Li-ion battery.
I will say this; like the 148, the receive sensitivity on this unit is phenomenal. I can get a full signal in a concrete room, underground, which does *not* occur with either of my Professional LMR radios (Hytera, Motorola).
