If anyone is interested, I made a video about the MD2017 last week, showing the internal hardware and how the joystick / trackball works (doesn't work)

BTW.
I'm aware of the battery voltage and temperature value problems.

I'm already testing fixes for these

There may also be a problem associated with the radios hanging due to battery voltage sensing

Change of firmware to OpenGD77 on my Retevis RT-82 worked fine and things seems to work as they should in my first quick test.

GPS works, and I got a fix inside at work so the radio is almost as sensitive as my late production RT3S that is much better than than the first RT3S I bought.

The clicks from the speaker when you use the keyboard with volume down is a bit annoying.
I changed the beep settings to a more silent mode not to annoy my colleagues.
