Conclusions

The Alinco DJ-G7T is, in my opinion, a massive waste of money and is the worst radio I have ever reviewed at this price point and in the top three worst at any price point. Seriously, buy a $25 Baofeng and you will have a better radio. Need it to be waterproof, fine, spend $40 on the Baofeng UV-9R+ which is, in every respect, a superior radio.

In fact, if you want a massively better radio and don’t really need the waterproofing, get the Alinco DJ-MD5TGP which is an amazing little radio with DMR built-in.

If you already bought the Alinco DJ-G7T, do what I am doing and see what the return policy is.

The Radioddity GD-77 is actually a decent little radio for the price and if you are looking for an affordable DMR radio that can also do both 2m and 70cm, it is absolutely worth considering. If I had the money, I would opt for the Alinco DJ-MD5 as it is clearly superior in pretty much any metric you want to use, but it is also twice the price of the Radioddity.

On the other side, the BaoFeng DM-1801 is virtually the same radio for almost $30 cheaper. Yes, the Radioddity GD-77 feels a little better made, but that may not matter to you.

Overall, this is a good DMR radio, and you probably will not be upset if you purchase it. The superior support of this radio including easy access to manuals, faqs, and software from Radioddity certainly makes it appealing.
