OpenGD77

My Retevis RT3S and TYT MD-UV390 work great with the OpenGD77 firmware. But my Baofeng DM-1701 has a slightly different behavior. On the first two, the up/down arrows change the Contact, while the knobs change the channels. On the DM-1701, however, both the knob and the arrows change the channel. I ...

Thanks again, Roger. Yes, I had the wrong driver!! And thanks for your patience with all of our RTFM queries!

I'm stuck trying to install OpenGD77 on a Retevis RT3S. The standard CPS works fine, but the OpenGD77 CPS can't find the device. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but what could it be? I have successfully used OpenGD77 on a DM-1701 and MD-UV390. Any tips?

Any chance of supporting APRS on the UV-17 Pro GPS?

Excellent APRS results using a TYT MD-UV390 and the new firmware. One suggestion: Just like there are (excellent) presets for Car, Bike, etc., it would be great if there were user-programmable presets. For what I'm doing I had to tweak the defaults. It would be nice to be able to save those settings.

Thanks, Daniel. I'm heading out tomorrow to do some APRS tracking tests with a TYT MD-UV390. Preliminary tests are excellent!

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but where can I find documentation on the beta "APRS Options" settings? Mode? Decay? Rates & Speeds "T." settings?

I have a TYT UV390 GPS and would love to test. I'm already using OpenGD77 on a Baofeng 1701, so I'm familiar with the firmware. I also do a lot of APRS work here, building iGates and digipeaters.

Progress! If you press SK1+SK2+Green on the DM-1701 during Calibrate, it will save the Power Adjust settings. So it takes BOTH SK1+SK2 with the green button. Not to figure out how to get to these data through the CPS.

Thanks, Daniel. So SK2 is the button below SK1? The manual says SK2+Green should save the Calibration data, but as far as I can tell, it does not.
