Maybe you could post some photos, that could help spotting some problems.

Woo Hoo! I finally got the soldering right...it was so small and I need a magnifying glass if I do anything like this again!

12 satellites in about 30 seconds!

I used the TYT MD-9600 with the OPENGD77 obviously on an ISS Pass with my Sarctrac Rotor and Arrow Antenna and wow did it work well! I was live on YouTube!

So I cannot find a way to change the GPS setting from km to Mile and Mile per hour. Am I missing something or can't you add it to the firmware if it's not there please and thanks!

The firmware is metric, only.

So there's no way to make it Miles then? Bummer

Nope.
Adding Imperial would introduce more strings in every language, changes to the UI, conversion, etc. Too much space/processing for this.

Got ya! Bummer but I can live with it! Thanks!
