| 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. | Would I recommend the Tidradio TD-H8? Absolutely. It is a nice radio that performs well, with excellent items included in the kit for an extremely reasonable amount of money. I like the H3 too, but it is just too small for my hands. With this, you get a lot of the same great features of the H3 on steroids. When you couple the radio with their Odmaster Bluetooth programming software, you have a really nice combination. |
