BTW

Does anyone have a link to the latest MD-2017 official firmware, either the TYT or Retevis version, i.e RT-84

Retevis seems to have removed the downloads for the RT-84 from their website and I can't find a copy elsewhere
Noticed now that you probably mixed the Retevis names, I guess you really wanted RT82 which use the same hardware as MD-2017

This was for RT84 = DM-1701
I have some here:

2.03 was the latest FW I found then, the 1.05 zip is the CPS.

Hi,

on Passion-Radio's website, in the CPS archive you have v4.15 and v4.17 firmwares:

I already made a cable by modifying a cable from a Radioddity GD55Plus

I have an MD-2017, bought when it was first released. The miniature trackball is the radio's worst feature. It's far too easy to move, and in the usual configuration moving changes to another channel; if you try to put the radio in your pocket or on your belt, the frequency will change more often than not. The MD-2017 has plenty of programmable buttons that could allow it to be used pretty much like a GD77 or MD-UV380, so I'd like to see alternate firmware ignore the trackball altogether or perhaps only use it while you are in the menu system.
