# FreeTRX
|
|
|
|
**FreeTRX is a fork of the [OpenGD77](https://opengd77.org) firmware** for DMR
|
|
transceivers built around the STM32F405VGT MCU, AT1846S RF chip and HR-C6000 DMR
|
|
chipset — the **TYT MD-UV380 / Retevis RT-3S** and **Baofeng DM-1701 / Retevis
|
|
RT-84**.
|
|
|
|
It adds a number of UI and quality-of-life changes on top of OpenGD77 (segmented
|
|
S-meter, 7-segment frequency font, screen dimming, an audio-mute function, menu
|
|
icons, and more). See [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md) for the full list.

## Supported radios
|
|
|
|
This first iteration is developed for and **tested only on the TYT MD-UV380 and
|
|
Retevis RT-3S**. No other radios are officially supported at this time.
|
|
|
|
If you have another radio that OpenGD77 supports (Baofeng DM-1701 / Retevis RT-84,
|
|
MD-9600, MD-380, MD-2017, …) and would like to help test FreeTRX on it, that would
|
|
be very welcome — please email **Marcus, DK1DA** at <marcus.kida@bearologics.com>.
|
|
|
|
## Upstream source
|
|
|
|
This fork is based on the official OpenGD77 source release **R20260131**
|
|
(source snapshot `OpenGD77_MDUV380_DM1701_20260130`):
|
|
|
|
<https://opengd77.eu/index.php?dir=MDUV380_DM1701_RT3S_RT84/R20260131/sources_and_tools/&file=OpenGD77_MDUV380_DM1701_20260130.zip>
|
|
|
|
The original OpenGD77 project README is preserved in
|
|
[`README.OpenGD77.md`](README.OpenGD77.md).
|
|
|
|
## DMR / AMBE codec
|
|
|
|
As with OpenGD77, the source does **not** contain the AMBE codec required for DMR
|
|
audio. It is merged in from an official manufacturer firmware (V26.45) at flash
|
|
time by the firmware loader. See [`TOOLS.md`](TOOLS.md).
|
|
|
|
## Building, flashing & tools
|
|
|
|
See [`TOOLS.md`](TOOLS.md) for building (Docker + Arm GNU Toolchain 14), flashing
|
|
(`./flash.sh`), grabbing screenshots, and building language files.
|
|
|
|
## License
|
|
|
|
FreeTRX **inherits the OpenGD77 license** — a modified BSD 3-Clause license with
|
|
an additional **non-commercial** clause. It is **not** an OSI-approved
|
|
open-source license and is **not GPL-compatible**; commercial use is prohibited.
