If anyone is interested, I made a video about the MD2017 last week, showing the internal hardware and how the joystick / trackball works (doesn't work)
I'll test hotspot mode later today. Register dump sent via email.
Thanks.
I send you an updated version via emial with some small bug fixes

Change of firmware to OpenGD77 on my Retevis RT-82 worked fine and things seems to work as they should in my first quick test.
GPS works, and I got a fix inside at work so the radio is almost as sensitive as my late production RT3S that is much better than than the first RT3S I bought.
The clicks from the speaker when you use the keyboard with volume down is a bit annoying.
I changed the beep settings to a more silent mode not to annoy my colleagues.
