Deep Fake? Alleged May 18th version of Firmware?

Post by K4ED » Mon May 24, 2021 6:41 pm

On the facebook Open GD77 page, https://www.facebook.com/groups/OpenGD77, one João José has posted files that he claims are the "May 18th, 2021 build" of the GD77 and DM1801 sgl files. He even posts a screen shot!

Scam? Someone who did some changes to the code they grabbed before it was taken down?

Nothing was released/updated after the Apr 3th 2021. I guess it's just a recompilation, that's it.


Cheers.

I noticed someone calling themselves open-ham copied all the last source code back onto github over 1 month ago.
So anyone can rebuild the firmware from that repository.

I know that multiple people are building their own custom versions and some are distributing them via various non-public methods
These versions have various new features and modifications to their operation.

So you are likely to see lots of different versions produced by many different people appearing all over the place.
