I assume that since it is not GPS, each time you move the radio to a new QTH (location) you must manually re-enter the GPS numbers to accurately show satellite data?
Hi, I have a few Baofeng UV-5R radios that I’ve been experimenting with. Recently, I decided to upgrade and got a pair of Quansheng UV-K5's, which I really like. Then, I felt the need for digital radios and purchased a Baofeng DM-1701, hoping to catch some local digital chatter. However, I haven’t been able to pick up anything at all. It seems like I might be doing something wrong, or maybe there’s simply no one talking. Thanks. P.S. I got the digital radio because whenever I scan the area and hear chatter, it’s just static. I know this is because they’re transmitting digitally. After googling digital ham radios, I found the DM-1701 and decided to try it.
Hi you made a good choice first thing you need to find out is are there any dmr repeaters near you if not you need a hotspot after that message me again .
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones Thanks for the quick reply. I forgot to mention that I know nothing about ham radios. However, I found some information about a repeater "near me": **Repeater: DB0WET** - **Location:** Wetter JO31QI - **Coordinates:** 7.362277, 51.359974 - **Frequency:** 439.30000 / 431.70000 FM - **Offset:** -7.6 - **Echolink Node:** #8070 (Ruhrlink) I have no idea what any of this means, and I'm not sure if I want to learn, ha ha. That said, I just want to listen to local radio chatter. I guess this isn't the right radio for that!? Thanks.
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones I've just bought one of these and it's on way,. I'd bought the baofeng Dr 1801 to scan local digital uisness radio and what ever else is local, and it found nothing. Even in its monitor mode. I hear these 1701 are better for scanning and easier. Is this true,. Probably should have asked before I bought it. Mine is open gd77 too. Any help appreciated
My friend I'm interesring to get the DM-1701, I will use it mostly in UHF frequency, (VHF too but not always), I was checking the specifications but not sure if the output is about 10 wstts (I need 10 watts as minimun power). I hope you can give some lhelp about this.
Does this work like a Anytone 878 with the opengd77 ie Does it have digital monitor like the Anytone 878 and does it receive everything in scan mode like the Anytone 878 , I have used the Anytone 878 as a dmr scanner, can I use the baofeng dm-1701 opengd77 the same way receiving any TG any CC and both time slots in scan?
So DMR works straight out of the box, and it has no GPS, yet it's marked on the screen, and so is satellite?
Yes , yes

How do you actually get this on a DM 1701? I have one, but not with the GD 77 firmware.
Also, the firmware listed, is it the latest?

Do you know how to configure the DM-1701 to listen to public services in DMR? Only RX. Thanks, 73
You find frequencies then add to Radio using Software alot to learn on all DMR Radios.
how can i listen to digital without gd-77 since mine hasn't came with it
I will do videos of this Radio without the gd77 , you will need your dmr number a digital Repeater near you or purchase an MMDVM Hotspot .
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones what mmdvm hotspot do you recommend?
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones how can I find a digital repeater in my local area? I’ve been trying to connect to one to hear channels, no ptt
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones is there a video out?
Why not install OpenGD77 yourself? Super easy to do.
If there’s no repeaters look at building a hotspot.

This Radio is 4 Watts
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones OK thanks for the info 👍.... I will keep looking for other.
Does your Red "exit" key light up? Mine doesn't just wondered if it's supposed to? Thanks.
All keys are backlit

Yes to all
1701 or 1702 with gps? Which do you prefer Andreas? M7SOX
1701
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones Thanks Andreas 🍻
COMPATIBLE WITH MOTOTRBO ?
No idea it works with slot 1 and 2 just like the md380 anytone 878
does the firmware cable fit the uv5r please.
No
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones shame, thanks and love youre vids.
Please note they do NOT all come with GD77 pre installed. I just bought two that arent pre programmed
Agree
I have one just arrived from China. How will I know, as a DMR newbie, if open gd77 is pre-installed as advertised?
Hola,sabes cómo entrar en el menú rápido?
What's that ?
The firmware number looks like it starts with the date of the version in reverse.
Yes
Andreas, I just got the 1701A, and it's beautiful. It came with OpenGD77 already installed. I gave it a green theme. It's so much fun. KN6ZFM
Hi Gre mine is here I will makeva video today yes love the colours .
