Version 7.2C
This version must be installed using the latest CPS from my package.
This version includes the Calibration option to accurately calibrate you frequency and power. Due to the small
screen the calibration in on more than one screen and you can move between them with SK2 plus up and down.
This version also includes the Talk around feature in the Quick menu so that when on a repeater channel
you can put the transmit frequency on the receive frequency.
Version 7.2B
The DM1701 version has some changes to the keypad operation and calibration option but has been moved to the OpenUV380 folder as the 1701 is more closely related to the UV380 than the
GD77.
Version 7.2A
There is now a version of the firmware for the DM1701 in the Other Radios folder and a new CPS which will work with the DM1701.
Version 7.1E
Minor changes and small bug fixes.
Version 7.1D
New CPS which allows the use of the new satellite FO118.
Version 7.1C
Minor changes to the TA function adding text to the position information.
Version 7.1B
this
version contains a new CPS which allows you to select various TA option in the channel informtion on a channel by channel basis. The default is master which uses whatever is selected in options menu of the radio.
Version 7.1A
if you
turn on Talker Alias in the options then the radio will transmit your location as well as your call-sign which allows the networkk to plot your position on an APRS map. This works on the DMR+ network and in Brandmeister if you go to self care and set your radio type to Hytera and GPS in Call to on.
Version 7.0S
In the CPS arbitary frequencies can now be entered rather than just 25/12.5 or 6.25Khz steps.
Version 7.0R
Firmware problem of not creating a new channel from the VFO correctly has been fixed.
Version 7.0Q
This fixed 2 bugs on the VFO screen
1. The Tx frequency was set to the Rx frequency when saving or writing to the radio, if the Tx frequency was different to the Rx frequency
2.
After fixing bug #1 above, I found that cross-band was still not possible, so that bug has also been fixed
Version 7.0P
New CPS to cure bug in selecting the Radioddity GD77donar file.
Version 7.0N
Quick keys have been added to the Quick Menu screen and a small bug fix.
Version 7.0M
New CPS with Ctr+u and Ctrl+d added to move items up and down in the zones screen.
Version 7.0L
It seems a few small bugs crept into the last version and have been fixed in this version.
Version 7.0K
some small bug fixes and you can now access the Quick menu using SK1 plus Green as well as the Orange button.
Version 7.0J
New CPS which allows you to use control u and control d to move items up or down when the zone list is on sthe screen.
Version 7.0H
A new CPS which allows you to move channels up and down in the Channels list window using Ctrl+u and Ctrl+d.
Version 7.0G
A new CPS which allows you to move channels up or down with ctrl+u or ctrl+d when the channels list is on the screen but only works in tree view and so is not really usable for the
blind at the moment and there are also some small bug fixes in the firmware.
Version 7.0F
New CPS program bnut the only changes affect the MD9600/RT90 and not the GD77.
Versuib 7.0E
A new CPS program to correct a small bug in the use of the Radio ID field.
Version 7.0D
Automatic power off feature added. Needs both firmware and voice prompt update. Holding the # key while switching on brings the radio up in voicing level 3.
Version 7.0C
When carrying the GD77 in a backpack for example the volume knob can accidentally be rotated and turn on the GD77 so a new option is in the General options called Safe power on. If
this is switched on then if you turn on with the volume control knob the radio just goes into suspend mode. To turn on the radio normally in this mode you need to hold SK1 while turning the radio on.
Version 7.0B
New CPS, Firmware and Voice packs. So you need to install all three. The CPS and GD77 Channel dedtails now allow you to turn on or off beeps and eco mode for each channel independently.

Version 6.0G

Version 6.0F
Blind users should be aware there is a bug on the CPS channel screen when Radio ID is selected screen readers say Timeslot and when Timeslot is then tabbed too
only the contents (usually 2 is announced) not the label. This problem will be fixed soon.
