What is the serial # cutoff for OpenGD77 compatible radios? I have a MD-UV380 with a serial # of 2009L01720.

We don't know what the cut-off for serial numbers is but it would appear that anything
starting 2211 and after may have the problem.

I have a non GPS rt3s arriving shortly, dunno the serial yet but I will notify here.
Will be interesting to see what MCU this one has, just arrived from Amazon in Germany.
It's a non GPS unit.
But I have some German beer first (Weiherer Landbier)

A colleague sent a photo of UV390 with GPS. The same problem with the firmware.
