I use #Gpredict under #Linux and #Look4Sat under #android
and I also use the follow firmware on GD77 & RT3s with GPS
The #OpenGD77 firmware for the #Radioddity #GD77 is good, has voice prompts AOS, does doppler, polar view etc
The OpenGD77 firmware has added to support extra hardware like TYT MD-UV380 / UV390 / Retevis RT-3S

My #Radioddity #GD77 is a source of joy, mischief, and mystique.

Installed #OpenGD77 on my old #RD5R . No problems with the firmware installation, and at least some parts of my old code plug survived.
The documentation is pretty good all in all, but since I have an RD-5R and not a #GD77 all of the references to which key does what are wrong. (There is no green button, there are two orange buttons etc.) I'll be able to work through it once I get some more hands on time.
I'll figure out the analog side first.
Old radio, new firmware = new radio!

CW: lowest cost DMR radio
I currently own two of the early cheap DMR radios, the RD-5R (DMR software in a Baofeng form factor) and the GD-77 from Radioddity. Both are fine for talking to a local hot spot and I also use the GD-77 as a 2m/70cm FM analog HT.
The lowest cost DMR rig I have seen that's still in stock is the Baofeng DM-1701.
Are there any other low end DMR radios worth mentioning?
(Yes, I know better radios are generally worth it for lots of reasons.)
