About this item

• Dual Band, Dual Mode, and 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 (DMR Tier II) at any time. It also comes with dual-standby to monitor two channels at the same time. FCC ID: 2AN62-GD88
• 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) Function: 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: 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.
• [2023 Updated Feature] DTMF for Analog: In analog mode the radio now allows to transmit so called DTMF-codes. Valid DTMF-codes are 0…9,*,# and A…D. Those DTMF-codes are generated by transmitting two different audio frequencies at the very same time Those audio frequencies are defined by the column and the row of the DTMF code to be transmitted.
• 4 Customizable Keys: The 2 side buttons above and below the PTT-key, the orange emergency button at the top, and the green key above the numerical keypad are customizable each with long/short press options. You can set different functions according to your needs such as High/Low Power, Backlight On/Off, Keylock On/Off, VOX On/Off, Select Zone, Scan On/Off, Scan Mode, Repeater/Talk Around, and many more functions.
