I've noticed sometimes, immediatly after reloading the firmware, that I can't upload the satellite keps

Normally turning the radio on and off and perhaps closing and reopening the CPS fixes this

I don't know what causes this to happen, seems to be the COM port is not initially available, hence the CPS can't upload to it

I loaded the 09/14 beta firmware fine on my 2 GD77 units. However, when I tried to update the callsign database I got an error message stating that the firmware was not compatible. I could not bypass it and I could not load the database. I am using the latest CPS also, dated 09.14.21. Thanks

Stupid question, but does the GD77 is running in "normal" mode, and not in bootloader (SK1+SK2+PowerON) ?

EDIT: I just tried, no problem so far. Double check the USB/cable connections.

It might be a stupid question, but does firmware for 1801 should show satellite menu (this radio wasn't born for that) ?
It also allows to enter date/time and gps coordinates in Radio Info section.
Time/Date counter works until switching off, as this radio doesn't have rtc.
Haven't tested very deeply, but I like this build.

Yes, except the GD77S, all the others supported tranceivers support the satellite feature.

Thanks, and yes, one of my cables went bad. It works intermittently. I will retire it and get a new one. Meanwhile I will use the cable from the other GD77.

Okay, you found a quick fix ;-)

Please remind me what the "A" index means in the firmware version."OpenDM1801A" . The description could not be found.
