OpenGD77

I have this radio (DM-X)... I don't have specific knowledge about this platform but I'm open to learn... where can I start?

Yes, that's what happened. I followed your instructions and now everything seems reasonably normal. Power readings at 146MHz 5W++ yields a little bit more than 6W but less than 7W 5W yields 4W 4W yields 3.5W 3W yields 2.5W 2W yields 2W 1W yields 1.5W 750 mW yields 1.25W 500 mW yields 1W 250 mW yield...

My advice is to use the last two settings to be on the safe side (250 mW for 5W and 50 mw for 3W) util this se...

I installed DM-5R file.... what's the difference with the RD-5R .sgl?

I am not able to change anything in the Options menus, like "Options", "Display Options", "Sound Options"
