I met the similar problem using 1701 as hotspot working on UHF and another 1701 as the receiver, whatever the receiver worked with factory firmware or with OpenGD77. But, at the same time, voice out of my AT-878UVII Plus was fine enough.
When I switched the frequency of hotspot to VHF, everything was OK now.
I have installed the lasted version of OpenGD77 for both 1701 and the problem is not solved.
It puzzles me for weeks and I tried many changes on settings and nothing happened. So, I'm afraid there could be some unkown bugs with 1701, even in the factory firmware.
Some hotspot woes... Bad intelligibility

Have you verified the frequency calibration on the radios?
Could be that it's more off frequency on UHF.
Re: Some hotspot woes... Bad intelligibility
Sure, frequency calibration had been made. I have two 1701 and two 1701B, any of them works as hotspot can draw the same conclution.
