I have just checked the power calibration on a clone CPU radio and it was reasonable. As Roger says the factory calibration is never very good.

Regarding the DTMF. This is also working correctly.
Are you basing your comment on the sidetone you hear from the speaker? On these radios this is just a fixed frequency beep. We generate the tones in a different way to the official firmware and the hardware does not allow these to be routed to the speaker.

I just flashed it in my MD-UV390 with the “old” CPU and it works perfectly here too. I still need to do some more testing but I haven’t found any problems so far.

Great job! And thank you

Same here, MD-UV390 with STM-branded chip, and all seems to be working (but I'll do some more testing).

Next Saturday I will have a brand new RT3S in my hands. Quite possibly a cloned chip. So come through the door, I'll put the experimental version inside. I'll tell you how it works. At home so far I only have a couple of old GD77s that work perfectly with this firmware.

Note, I've been away from very high frequencies for quite some time, and now I'm finding this chip thing... That's why I bought the RT3S, to experiment with it.
In addition, we have a new batch of people with a desire for radio amateurs and the fact that we cannot find radios with the possibility of working with this firmware is not interesting at all.

Noticed with this Latest Firmware I’m Running the Clone Chip. When on TX noticed that the Battery Percentage drops very Fast like a countdown timer every 2 - 3 seconds

Battery percentage is always updated about 1 per second. If you transmit the battery voltage will change a lot, because battery percentage is only a display of battery voltage. The radio does not have any hardware to actually measure the curent and hence the power being consumed; so there is no way to actually determine the real capacity which remaings in the battery

Well
Yesterday I receive my new RT3S and just open and flash opengd77 for non genuine cpu
run fine.
Is dated november 22 on litlle sticker.

On firmware info say CPU: TYT

Today I made my first qso via satellite :lol:

The firmware now works with both genuine STM , and non genuine
