OpenGD77

FInal update. I have now gotten the CPS, GD77 Firmware to work on my M1-Max-based Macbook Pro, Parallels and Windows 11. Summary is as i found with getting everything working with my old Intel-based Macbook Pro, Bootcamp and Windows 10. The key (and obvious) insight is 1, Follow the CPS installation...

Wow! This has been an adventure - as any good radio project should be. I got my CPS, Firmware and GD77 connected, updated and working, just not using the M1 Mac. Instead, I ended up resurrecting an old, crippled (my wife poured liquid into it) 2013 MacBook Pro that was in a drawer (never get rid of ...

I'll try the appr...

It's been a little while - well... quite a while based on catching up on the OpenGD77 Licensing woes.... Roger I am sorry to see all this. I am trying to get my GD77 CPS and firmware updated now that I have a new Mac and am seeing some uh... challenges. I have a brand new Macbook Pro M1-Max running ...

Thanks Roger.

Hi All, I am returning to Amateur Radio after a few years off (~25). I've been dusting off and fixing all my old kit and finding out what's changed. Just getting in to DMR with a new GD-77 and as I consider setting it up, I found OpenGD77! I will be pondering the best way to set up the radio today -...
