Alinco DJ-G7E vs Yaesu FT5DE
Home / Comparison / Alinco DJ-G7E vs Yaesu FT5DE
Alinco DJ-G7E or Yaesu FT5DE? I’ve put the two radios side by side: specs from the manufacturers’ datasheets and photos to the same scale. The Alinco DJ-G7E does better on memory channels; the Yaesu FT5DE on airband AM, battery, weight, water resistance, GPS, APRS / D-PRS, Bluetooth and a microSD card. Only the Yaesu FT5DE has a digital mode (C4FM); the other radio is analogue FM.
