This means the Baofeng DM-1801 is a good alternative to the Radioddity GD-77, especially since it costs around 30–50% less (affiliate links). The openGD77 developers have done a great job at porting the firmware to radios with similar hardware, including the Baofeng DM-1801 and Baofeng RD-5R (or the Tier-2 capable DM-5R), plus the GD-77S. You can use the radio as a DMR hotspot connected to a computer running MMDVMHost/Pi-Star/BlueDV.You can practically program the radio without relying on a computer (except for zones and TG lists).Flexible power levels, from 50 mW to 5W and beyond.Promiscuous or “monitor” mode - Color Code, TimeSlot, and TalkGroup (several levels can be defined).I have previously written about openGD77, and here are some of the benefits:
Frankly, the stock firmware on both GD-77 and DM-1801 sucks! But the openGD77 firmware drastically changes the user experience and functionality of the radio.
To me, the Radioddity GD-77 is one of the best, if not the best, DMR portable as long as you’re running the openGD77 firmware on it.
