Wow Ben! Always learning from you. The band scope is great

[averageamerican]

OpenGD77 is great. I was in the steepest curve of learning with DMR and decided “why not?”. I would have understood the trunking system so much better if I had started with this firmware. That’s a testament to how user friendly it is.

Thanks for taking the time to do this Ben. It has sparked my interest in dabbling with the TYT/Opensource stuff again. Thank you Adam M6XYT

Audio levelling, what a Wonderful feature! Tnx bro.

[frankiebee]

I've been playing around with OpenGD77 on a Baofeng DM 1701 for a little over a month, and didn't know about the automatic AGC feautre! That's a game changer for DMR!

7:30 is where you got the absolute best feature of OpenGD77! The ability to not have to create a pair of frequency and talk group for every single hotspot/repeater and talk group I want to join. You didn’t show how to join a talkgroun dynamically with the # key just by entering the talk group number! That is the key to this firmware value proposition!!!!

I love in depth information like this!

[waylonk]

The thing that appeals to me the most about this firmware is the monochromatic screen theme. Seems like it goes easy on the battery and eyes :)

After months of research and after I've actually done it, finally someone mentioned that this can be done on the MDUV390. All I found around the web was just "maybes".

Thank your for sharing this.

Open GD77 made the Radioddity GD-77 an actually good useable radio.. Its amazing what a group of talented like minded people can do.. I really like satellite mode and hotspot mode with either blue dv or pi-star. Like I said, these creators are soo smart !

[alabamathunder]

WUT!!! HUH! WOW! Awesome. I use OpenGD77, and now that it is supported on the others, holy crap thats great!

[AdamSWL]

Great video Ben!
Thanks for mentioning about not posting users information online and potentially causing problems.
One of the biggest catalysts for encryption has been people streaming received radio traffic online.

[Geekchess]

Cheers! 🍻 I’m going to install this firmware tomorrow - sounds like what I’ve been looking for, for years!

[greyshadow]

I have been using OpenGD77 on my GD77 for many years.

The main thing that got me to change over was promiscuous mode. I was surprised the GD77 wasn't capable out of the box.

Since then every firmware update has been better and better and keeps alive a radio I probably would have sold long ago without it.

[Thambiah-Pillai]

Thank you for the video. It clearly differentiates the differences between these radios. -G7UNF

Great.... Now I need another radio to my wish list! (This is great stuff!)

[tech-rich]

I think I'll be digging out my RT3S and having a go with this. Looks very interesting.

[Lordabememes]

Can you program digital or analog channels manually from the radio and add it to a specific zone ?

[thuff]

Very useful information. Thank you for sharing.

I wish there was an open-source firmware for the Ailunce HD1!
