Amateur radio firmware for the GD-77, GD-77S, DM-1801, DM-1801A, RD-5R, MD-9600/RT-90, MD-UV380/RT-3S, DM-1701/RT-84 and MD2017/RT-82 radios

That is why I never finished this thread. But I will explain: "The Correct, Easy Way" to Install OpenGD77 on to a DM-1701! I had to watch 14 different videos to get all the information correct, when all that is needed, is the one correct way to explain how to install the OpenGD77 firmware in the first place~! Nobody said it all! I had to look at all those videos to find out the links, and it was all mostly clickbait. Most just gave old news and links that were broken.
So I decided to make my own easy to install way of explaining it. Not everyone here is a rocket scientist, so I made it really simple to do just follow a few steps, no 50-min video talking about everything but instilling the program to your rig! So Here are the quick, easy steps that took me less than 3 min to load!
The First Step is to get the Donor File HERE: downloads/MDUV380_DM1701/Firmware/c3e8a ... de46788fd/
The Second Step is to get the Latest OpenGD77 CPS Software AT: viewforum.php?f=19
The Third Step is to get the OpenGD77.bin file AT: downloads/MDUV380_DM1701/Firmware/c3e8a ... de46788fd/
These are the only files that are needed to install OpenGD77
After you have all the files.
You want to install the OpenGD77 CPS First
Then, after you install the CPS, open it and go to extras.
In Extras go to Firmware Loader, select DM-1701/RT-84
then Select The Donor File As of this writing it is MD9600-CSV(2571V5)-V26.45.bin
Next, Select the Open firmware file and Upload As of this writing it is OpenDM1701.zip
After it's finished, The radio is now programmed with the OpenGD77 easy to use codeplug.
Sometimes there is gibberish in the Contacts, TG Lists, Zones, Channels, Just clear them all out and start a new Codeplug or if you have a friend that can lend you their codeplug that will save a lot of time!
This method is the only method that works 100% Took me about 8 days to fig all this stuff out !
This will have you Up and running ASAP!

On my MD-UV380, I made the "Ctrl-T" in orig fw. CPS.
And I'm quite sure i made a backup of Cal data in OpenGD77
But not on the 1701 i made the "Orig CTRL+T" .. But not the OpenGD77 ... I didn't see it (was i blind) here ??
If i was blind , can i still get/save it after having uploaded a CP to the 1701 ??
