I just thinking to buy a 77S for test... If you want a beta tester...I'm probably also going to add experimental support for the GD-77S only for Hotspot mode

Thanks for all the features and for all the time you are investing in the organization of the entire project. There is so much additional work you are doing in the background that many of us are unaware of. Thanks for everything.

It does take a lot of time doing this, probably 10 hours over the weekend, as there are multiple things going on.
This weekend i worked on the new experimental features for the VFO scan function, as well as cleaning all the scan code and also bug fixing some bugs in the VFO scan that no one had noticed.
Daniel and I are now actively porting the firmware to other similar radios, firstly the Baofeng DM-1801 (aka DM-860,) and we will do a version for the GD-77S that just has Hotspot mode.
Daniel has also been porting the Windows utilities to Linux , which encrypt the firmware binary so it can be uploaded into the radios.
There are also some DM-1801 guys starting to analyse the hardware on that radio in more detail, in an attempt to help port the firmware to it.
Re: Update 1st March
I don’t have a GD-77S so beta testers would be taking a small risk.
But I do have the schematic diagram for the GD-77S, so I think the risk is very low, because I will be able to confirm all the connections before I make the firmware
Re: Update 1st March
without risk, there is no victory
