Congratulations Roger on the wonderful work done on opengd77. I have several radios converted to Opengd77, they were wonderful. I'm your fan and admirer, this project is the best project developed for amateur radio. Thank you very much and don't ever stop developing opengd77. I'm part of your group of admirers!
You'd need to read the OpenGD77 User Guide, because there isn't a features list. Definitely NOT supported by OpenGD77 is : No DMR SMS/Text messaging. No Dual Watch No DMR Encryption No DMR Dual Capacity Direct mode No DMR audio recording probably there are other things it can't do.
@@vk3kyy okay, I got it now. Simply, openGD77 does make your radio more worth than it was before :D Very nice firmware! You developed it? Nice job dude. But I can't use it. I need encryption. I don't live in the US and encryption is a basic right in my country. Like the second amendment in the US. Why is no encryption support? Do we get a OpenGD77 version for non-us citizens with encryption support in the future?
Baofeng use different cables to TYT. You need to use the came that comes with the radio. Yes. It has a colour screen and the OpenGD77 now has colour themes See www.opengd77.com
I've got the '1701 (US$45 with NM sales tax, arrived in a week). I've burned the openGD77 firmware and downloaded the codeplug I've used on my two other DMR HTs that have also been modified. Quick question: when I put my local GMRS repeater in the codeplug and created a zone for GMRS, it puts the date in the radio fine.. However, attempting to transmit, I get a predicted "OUT OF BAND" message. Is there any way to open it up? Curious. Thanks!
@@axemanarbor The old DM1801 is a completely different radio to the DM-1701. The old DM1801 is a clone of the TYT MD-760 aka GD-77. Which used the NXP Freescale MK22 CPU. Baofeng renamed the new DM1801 as a DR1801 because although it looks the same as the old DM1801 on the outside, the electronics in the radio are completely different, as all the internal electronics are replaced by a DMR module normally found in devices like the Android phones with built in DMR The DM-1701 aka Retevis RT-84, use a STM32 CPU , and have a colour screen, larger flash memory and many many differences to the old DM1801
@@vk3kyy thanks so much for helping me out with that info and taking the time . I've been doing my head in trying to learn and I guess that this is what this hobby is about , having your head done in and I did jump down the rabbit hole but I am wondering if my poor old head can handle this one.

Did anyone else notice the USB cable for the '1701 is different than the ones for the Retivis RT-3S and TYT MD-UV 380 (these two are compatible). I wonder if internally, the cable has wires crossed. 73 DE N2GJ
I have ordered a MD-2017 and will investigate whether it is possible to write the OpenGD77 firmware to run on that radio. It has the same chipset as the MD-380UV/RT-3S and Baofeng DM-1701 and some other radios, but has some additional hardware because it has 2 x AT1846S transceiver chips, which may make it more difficult
@@ra3age No. MD380/390 use a different DMR chip. So the firmware does not work with those older radios. Perhaps in the future someone can reverse engineer the commands for the older DMR chip, but at the moment it will not work. Source code will be released for the UV380/RT3S/DM1701/RT84 so perhaps someone can use this source code to make a MD380 version
Hello, please help Baofeng 1701 does not support me dmr I see that you have cps different from mine is there any way on my cps it says that it only supports FM where to get the correct cps please help

1. DFU Driver is not installed or 2. Wrong version of DFU driver is installed or 3. Radio is not in DFU mode or 4. Incorrect cable or other cable problem or 5. Not using OpenGD77CPS to update the firmware
On your forum, I’ve read topic about COM port problems for Windows 11. Do you know if there’s a solution for it yet? Or should rol back to Windows 10 to make it work?
Good morning VK3kYY, I downloaded the software Opengd77 CPS Version 2023.09.21.01, when I go to install the software it asks for a password, what password is it?
This radio Baofeng 1701 is the same as the RT84 from Retevis, I have one with OPENGD77 and it works well. There is a bug that to normalize, you need to go back and forth between a channel. The audio on this radio is very good and the battery lasts a long time. The channel switch usually gives poor contact. I change channels today using the panel button. I'm buying one of these baofeng 1701. You could review the minimum audio setting that doesn't work, the minimum is still audible. strong 73 thanks for the great OPENGD77 project.

Mmm
What does open GD77? What are the pros to the standard Baofeng 1701 Firmware?
You'd need to read the OpenGD77 User Guide, because there isn't a features list.
Definitely NOT supported by OpenGD77 is :
No DMR SMS/Text messaging.
No Dual Watch
No DMR Encryption
No DMR Dual Capacity Direct mode

Where can I find the "donor firmware" file for the DM-1701. I can't even find a firmware download for the similar MD-UV380, it seems to be gone
Will this work for the Baofeng DR-1801 UV
No. DR-1801 does not use the same CPU as in the DM-1701, so it will not work on that radio.
I thought there were older model 1801s that work .?

Its well documented that Baofeng swap the USB D+ and D- data connections in their cables, compared to other manufacturers like TYT and Anytone etc.
How is it compared to the uv380 or rt3s?
How do I access the code plugs for VK3 on the 1701?
Not sure what you mean.
If you mean is there a VK3 OpenGD77 codeplug on the web somewhere, then the answer is... Perhaps.
Try googling for it.
Can you put original firmware on the DM-1701 easily?
You say 1801 but video says 1701. Am I at the right page?
is it possible to hear 200mhz to 300mhz in this radio ?
200MHz~ 260MHz only
Will we ever get opengd77 for tyt md 2017? thanks for your work and your team.73s

Probably the ADC value for minimum volume is slightly different on the DM1701 to the RT3S/UV380.
This will need to be investigated
