73 de R1BLH

Post by R1BLH » Mon Aug 29, 2022 10:43 am

Hello all!

My real name is MIchael, QTH St. Petersburg (KP50).
73!


P.S. I just got a used DM-1801 (hopefully the first version - serial number starts with 18DM18...).
I've been having some problems communicating with this radio. It looks like the PID and VID are different from the .inf file of the GD77 serial driver.

Hi Michael

The inf file values are only applicable after the OpenGD77 firmware is installed.
The OpenGD77 firmware turns the radio into a Serial comms device, but the official firmware uses a driverless HID device


The OpenGD77 driver won't see the radio until the firmware is installed

Thanks, already figured it out. Perhaps I was inattentive when reading the documentation.
