I have a DJ-G7t, it is a great radio, I use it often. We have a 23cm repeater in the town I live in and on 1w I can hit it pretty much everywhere. It has a lot of cool feature that I actually use, dual VFO's, spectrum scope analyzer and also a cool bug finding feature that work a charm in fox hunting. The build quality is very nice, solid chassis, nice controls and there are a few antennas in the tri-band range that work nicely with it. The two feature I do not like are the belt clip, its horrible and the power button is very small. Other than those two nit pickings the radio is solidly worth the asking price and it comes with a nice desk top charger. I would get the G9 except that around here 900 is super noisy and I already have several radios for 220. You wont be disappointed.
