| Conclusions | Normally here I ask the question of whether the radio is a good value for upgrading, first-time users, whatever. With the Radioddity GA-2S, I am asking if there is any reason at all to buy this radio. The easy answer is no. Pretty much any cheap radio from Baofeng, eSynic, or Arcshell is a step-up, don’t waste your money on the Radioddity GA-2S. This was really a let-down, as I like a lot of the offerings from Radioddity. I can only hope this is a blip, and they will continue releasing quality radios at good prices, like their GD-77. | 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. |
