The TYT DM-1801 is a rugged, affordable DMR/Analog handheld. Its hardware is surprisingly good for the price, but the is the classic "Chinese radio" experience: feature-rich on paper, but clunky in execution. However, this radio has a secret life—custom firmware (OpenGD77) transforms it entirely.
Buy the DM-1801 specifically because it supports OpenGD77. Don't buy it for the stock firmware. You'll thank me later. Would you like a step-by-step guide to flashing OpenGD77 onto the DM-1801 as well? dm-1801 firmware
Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5/5 – Functional but Flawed Stock; ★★★★★ with OpenGD77) The TYT DM-1801 is a rugged, affordable DMR/Analog handheld
