GD-88

Dual Band, Dual Mode, Dual Standby

The GD-88 contains two independent VFOs that allow dual-band operation on VHF and UHF channels. With dual mode, the GD-88 allows a smooth transition from communication with conventional analog radios to digital DMR (Tier II) at any time. It also comes with dual-standby to monitor two channels at the same time.

7W + 300K

DMR Contacts

The Radioddity GD-88 is a powerful handheld radio with a compact design, featuring selectable output power of 7W/2.5W and storage for up to 300,000 DMR contacts, which can be bulk imported via software.

Cross-band Repeater Function

Working as a base radio to extend your talking range, the GD-88 is capable of transmitting on one frequency band (UHF/VHF) a receive a signal on the other frequency band (VHF/UHF). Compared to traditional cross-band repeaters, the GD-88 can cross-band repeat from an analog band to a digital one (or from digital to analog.)

Same Frequency Repeater (SFR)

Using just one frequency for transmitting and receiving gives it full use of the DMR TDMA-technique by using one timeslot for receiving and transmitting the received signal on the same frequency, but using the second timeslot, acting as a Same-Frequency-Repeater (SFR). Multiple GD-88’s within a certain area can create a mesh-network, allowing single-VFO radios to communicate with other radios bridged by several GD-88’s that are operating in SFR-mode. The GD-88 is must-have radio for emergency situations where conventional communication systems are limited or unavailable.

GPS with APRS Function

GPS with APRS Function

The GD-88 has a powerful built-in GPS receiver for use with APRS to allow real-time push messages of position beacons to the APRS-network. This makes it ideal for outdoor activities where you need to be tracked by others, especially emergency situations.
