Just bought a GD-77 and reading up on the install process for OpenGD77. Already have pi-star and and MD-380 running with MD380Tools but looking forward to what OpenGD77 offers.
One question before I install OpenGD77 is will I loose any significant features of the regular firmware and CPS from Radioddity? When I check the settings on the HT it says V4.03.07 on Dev Info / Soft Version. Is this the software that I'm to overwrite with Firmware Software V4.3.6? Accounting for decimals and Zero's I assume V4.3.6 is later and more advanced, but want to make sure V4.03.07 doesn't mean V4.3.7 and ensure I'm not going backwards.
Otherwise is there any downside on trying OpenGD77? Should I become familiar with the factory firmware and CPS first?
Thanks in advance for advice.
Sincerely,
Derek - W4DCE
