Looks like someone just copied the hard work done by Jason VK7ZJA

Jason also did a load of work on the calibration of the GD77 using the official firmware

I'd rather not propagate derivative works when they don't credit who did the original work, so I'll probably delete you link to prevent it getting extra attention.
I know that the individual hacks are credited, but the whole thing is taken from Jason's site without mentioning that's where it comes from.

That nebula.wsimg URL seems to be some sort of web site copying robot. There are lots of comments about it online. I doubt there is a human involved. It does actually credit the source at the bottom of each page.

However I agree it only makes sense to publish Jason’s original web address as that will always have the latest information.

I believe in knowledge sharing and feel as you do that the appropriate credit should be given to those sources that contribute worthy information.

It's great to see that you guys are on top of things like this. It was interesting for me to learn that there are such robots dedicated to copying web sites.

Many thanks to everyone that contributed to the original manual and sharing it amongst the community.
