How to Install OpenGD77 on an HT for Satellite Ops!
I have the D878 UV II (no plus) and I get a flash error while updating the firmware.. I could fix it by using cps 3.04 and flashing the 3.04 firmware version... Any idea what's going on there?
got it wrong...got the UV PLUS. sorry... working now!
@@uschi-hund send me an email at captdonmcjr at g mail dot com
@@w8cptCptDon oh hi... and why would I want to do that?
OK cause there's a strict process for updating. Let me see if i can paste it here... How to update to 3.05 Open OLD CPS Update firmware Read radio to OLD CPS and save *Export ALL CSVs so you have them as a backup. Install new CPS Open saved CP in CPS 3.05 MCU reset radio Send CP to radio Read radio back to CPS and save this CP. Go over all your channels, APRS, Optional Settings etc To make sure all is OK. *If you need to use your backup CVS. DO NOT import Optional settings.
@@w8cptCptDon ok, thanks.. as i said, it was my mistake... got the model version wrong and used the wrong cps and fw version....changed that, now it works. thanks for helping though!!!
I want one in orange
@@boisinnawoods it's the Baofeng K61
Actually Don, that is a K61, not a K6. Although they're the same radio in a different case.
@RoboTech831 thanks! If you're looking for this Radio it's the Baofeng K61 !
Tnx Fer the contact I'm switching to cw
What's your antenna?

Keps are not static. They need to be regularly updated for accuracy.
@ag1382 yes i know this. The firmware has issues the next firmware update will fix it
Which radio are you using? Is it full duplex?
@veritasweasel TYT UV-390 with OPENGD77 Firmware. It's not full duplex but the OPENGD77 tracks the doppler. Full duplex is not very useful on FM Satellites. I have a Kenwood TS-2000 in my shack with a Sarctrac Rotor and the only time I hear myself back is when it's straight overhead. I've made over 1000 FM Satellite QSOs just fine without full duplex. You just have to be courteous and only tx when you can hear people well and try not to key up over others....
@ Very Cool! Thanks! I’d love to put up an antenna with tracking, but I have an HOA and I have a feeling they would object
@@veritasweasel use the Arrow II Handheld like i do in most of these videos!
@@w8cptCptDon Thanks! Have you metered the uv-390 to see if you get 10 Watts out of 2 meters? What do you think of the Anytone D168 and D878 radios? Their output is about 7 Watts. Great channel, by the way!
@veritasweasel yeah it's about 8.7 watts. Once Anytone gets the 3.05 update I think it will be sweet. I already have a few videos working so-50 and the ISS with the 878...
I’ll try to catch you on the 21:13 pass tonight. Heading to Chicago in the morning for the week. K3DMM
Thank you.
@@justin9605 thank you! 73!
good video.. Im still wondering why they didnt attempt the catch on booster?
I think it was a test of an emergency abort feature...
That looks like a lot of fun. Studying for tech planning testing in December
@@rat0023 awesome! If you have any questions ask away!
It was a loose connector on my 70 CM protector. Explains why my images didn't come out good on the old antenna. All good. I will talk about it more on my podcast 6pm EST Wednesday on my channel.
@HAMFunko4pdi sounds good glad you got er fixed! I'll be live on the next pass too 60⁰ here!
Nice, I only got one good image out of the six I dowloaded. AE9AL
I never tried it from in the car. Have to give it a shot. K3DMM
@DennisMagdule i just hold the antenna out the window...keeps ya out of the cold and rain!
I was on for the 5:04pm pass earlier. K3DMM
How
Thank you for grabbing the sstv signals. I decoded 2 images well. I have talked to the iss once. But am not able to deal with the demanding sked for passes as of late. Ty 73 KC9CMG

Hi Captain Don
@@RoboTech831 hello
They use a water based glue to make it waterproof (IP67)? How absurd is that claim? If water based glue gets wet, what do you suppose happens? I’ve done radio repair for decades in the Army, how about they trust me? I guess I’d ask something like this… “It’s good to know you used glue instead of rubber gaskets to seal the body of the radio. How often do I need to have the glue reapplied to maintain the IP67 rating since it’s obvious it’s going to get hard and crack?” What you are doing is painting them in a corner. Either they are lying about the glue, or they are lying about the rating (it’ll fail within a short amount of time). Water has been SEALED inside your radio and will corrode the electronics. Where else can it go? It doesn’t just disappear. OR, if water can get out, it can get in…
Source: please trust me 😂. Did ICOM not have the same issue with some of their first ID 52 and it was in fact moisture from the factory assembly?
Nice one Don!!

Hi W8CPT GREAT CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN I DID CONTACT THEM LAST WEEK 👍🏽
That was unreal!👍
@DennisMagdule I know right?!
Congratulations Don that's awesome!
@WB2YZG thanks it was cool to have no one else really on and ragchew a little!
Is it as simple as it looks like
@thakursujal5236 what do you mean? The Astronauts pop in on the ISS FM Repeater randomly and you have to be lucky to be working it when they do!
@@w8cptCptDon huss
What web site or app are you using that is the video background?
@johnclark2849 SatPC32 Pretty sure I have videos on it in my How to Section.
Was listening from EN61hj and have a minute or 2 of clear audio from my iphone. AE9AL.
@@akle911 captdonmcjr at gmail. Com if you can send it I'd like to hear it!
See ya! N8TUI with N8LBV
Does the TYT MD-UV390 support full duplex operation? If not, did you have a second rig to be able to do the uplink/downlink being on two different bands (vhf, uhf)
@WarrenPostma no full duplex. I've made over 800 FM Satellite QSOs without full duplex. Full duplex is only truly needed for SSB Satellites
@@WarrenPostma the firmware follows both doppler shifts for you...
Does the relay buffer interface RBI-1a allow you to control band switching and antenna tuning from the software?
Hey we got another QSO on the ISS! Tough getting in for me. Even on a 90 degree pass. LOL
Damn, can't believe I missed this Don.
Great pass! 😃 Just using my normal attic mounted vertical. The Northern pass seems to do better for me.
@@DFenech Great job!
tnx agn don de wb8e
Darn, I could have made that pass on the way to work LOL
It appears they added features that mostly for the commercial world. It would be nice to be able to eliminate functions that do not pertain to amateur radio.
i got a few the other day from the beach. POTA US-2900. I will try again sometime this week.
yes de wb8e
@grandmagordon1703 hello walt!
Thank you! You saved me a lot of grief!
I finally bought the dm-1701 and installed opengd77 on it. I commented on one of your live videos almost a year ago now. Funny I came full circle 😂
@@Charlie-Bee awesome! Better late than never!
I tried getting on there last night, but I'm a new ham and didn't really know what I was doing.
@rrh2918 i have some how to videos and if you have any questions ask away
Hi can you sher your settings gpredict and rotator i follow the instructions on ghub but I cannot get it to work. Thank you
Really awesome you put this together.
@pirate959 thanks! I spent so much time working Satellites with Mark and he was always the 1st one in my live videos here on TH-cam saying "Hello Cpt!". I'm gonna miss him as well as many others that work the Satellites!
