hi all, greetings from the UK, i'm really enjoying playing with open gd77 but having trouble finding the latest firmware for it without the battery percentage bug, mine defaults to 84%, also i would like to have the power output readout on the display instead of the countdown timer, any help appreciated

Hi Bert,

The power level is ALWAYS showing on the top 1st line.
You may see any of the following values: 250mW, 500mW, 750mW, 1W, 2W, 3W, 4W or 5W.
If not showing, please feel free to tell on Bug Reports.

BTW,
Welcome on board !!

The battery should read either 100% or nearly 100% when the radio is fully charged

If not, check the batter voltage with a meter, it should be at least 8.2V
