Conclusions

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.

I really wanted to love the Baofeng GT-3TP, then I really disliked it, but after using it I have come to respect its capabilities even if I am not a huge fan of the misleading ads. The case, buttons, and screen certainly did not live up to what it was billed as, but the actual electronics inside make it a very serviceable unit.

If you want the Baofeng GT-3TP for a good radio that looks different and already has an outstanding antenna that won’t poke you in the side, this radio will absolutely not disappoint, particularly if like me, you are primarily on 2m. If, on the other hand, you want something that feels as sporty as the pictures suggest, you might want to look elsewhere (although in all honestly, I don’t know where).
