# OpenGD77
Firmware for DMR transceivers using the STM32F405VGT MCU, AT1846S RF chip and HR-C6000 DMR chipset.
Including the Radioddiy TYT MD-380UV / Retevis RT-3S and Baofeng DM-1701 / Retevis RT-84
# Project status
The firmware is relatively stable and provides DMR and FM audio transmission and reception, as well as a DMR hotspot mode.
However it does not support some core functionality that the official firmware supports, including sending and receiving of text / SMS messages
The firmware source code does not contain a AMBE codec required for DMR operation.
This functionality is provided by the official firmware which is merged with the OpenGD77 by the OpenGD77CPS or firmware loader
