ALINCO DMR PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE MANUAL
Download this manual See also: User Manual. The fit, finish, in-hand feel, glorious screen, performance, and ease of use all add up to a radio I don’t want to put down.Quick Links. In fact, if I haven’t made it clear enough already, this is my favorite DMR radio, bar none. It was not long before the radio had me looking for Alinco DJ-MD5 accessories online such as a second battery pack because I knew this radio would be one I would carry often. I was able to make my own Alinco DJ-MD5 codeplug very easily.īattery life with the Alinco DJ-MD5’s 1700mah included battery is very good, better than I expected with this nice of a screen and this much power.
ALINCO DMR PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE SOFTWARE
I think the Alinco DJ-MD5 software is a little nicer than CHIRP but not by any significant measurement. It feels faster and slicker than many others such as the software for TYT radios. The Alinco DJ-MD5 programming software is downloadable and like the radio is very straight forward and robust. The fact that it uses a standard micro USB (not included) is nice. Programming the Alinco DJ-MD5 is pretty straight forward, for a DMR radio of course. I was pleasantly surprised as the Alinco DJ-MD5 has very good audio for something as small and compact as it is. The audio was my next concern as you can not see a regular speaker grill. I should also mention that the belt clip feels strong and stable with just the right amount of tension in the spring with a great little hook at the bottom to keep it from sliding off whatever you have it secured to.Īnother nice detail of the Alinco DJ-MD5 is the shield on the right side top protecting the volume knob so that when something like your shirt, a car seat, or seat-belt slides against it, it does not change the volume level, neat!
Baofeng’s for example usually don’t get in the way, but they don’t fit into your hand well. A great example is the rounded belt clip with beveled edged which makes it a nice feeling in your hand. The attention to detail on the Alinco DJ-MD5 is nice too. The screen is, well, freeking amazing! It is vibrant and detailed, very easy to read.
The buttons are firm and solid, the knobs rotate smooth and have just the right amount of resistance. It feels like a solid brick in your hand. Then again, once you get used to what is where on the Alinco DJ-MD5 you don’t need to be able to read them.įrom the minute I picked the Alinco DJ-MD5 up I knew this was not meant to compete with the cheap Chinese radios. In good light, after some caffeine in the morning, I can usually make out the lettering. I am not getting any younger and although I do not wear glasses normally, the buttons on the keypad were tiny and honestly, a tad hard to read sometimes. While I have to admit I do not have a lot of experience with their equipment, what I have had has been positive. You don’t hear a lot about Alinco when looking at amateur radio gear although they make a range of handheld, mobile, and even a few desktop radios. The Alinco DJ-MD5 is a dual-band (2m/70cm) DMR radio with probably the nicest color LCD screen I have seen on a handheld radio for less than $300.
