New user question about OpenGD77 TG

[K3TD]

I have OpenCD77 CPS downloaded to my PC and was able to install firmware 4.3.6 Ok. I have a question about the Open GD77 TG in my Digital Contacts. Is this a TG that is accessible only via a hotspot? I do not yet have a hotspot operational. Also, what is the recommended Raspberry Pi to use with a GD77 using OpenGD77?

Thank you for the online assistance and reference materials!

Thanks and 73,

Not sure why you say you installed 4.3.6 this is an official firmware version.

The hotspot questions sound like something you need to post to the pistar hotspot forum, the firmware in the radio is not different in terms of hotspot use apart from making it easier to change talk groups.

Thank you for the advice. I followed the instructions on YouTube from N9ASE on how to install the OpenGD77 firmware, and have everything working as expected in my GD-77 now. I'll check out the Pi-Star hotspot forum for configuration info.
