installing uv_k5_01_26_rssi_sbar_encoded.bin after the spectrum scanner caused randon screen corution, including my screen flipping upside down (and back to front).

uv_k5_01_26_spectrum_2MHz_encoded.bin

Hi, i installed the s-meter mod but i find it highly inaccurate. It shows S8-S9 as minimum for a signal drowned in QRM. For an almost clear signal (real S6-S7) the quansheng reads +20, which is laughable.
Is it a problem with my handset or is it intrinsic to the mod? Thank you very much

P.S. If needed i can record a short video as demonstration

New version released, can you update it with 3 version and sbar/printer?
https://github.com/amnemonic/Quansheng_UV-K5_Firmware/tree/main/firmware

Could you please help me with this situation:

The k5_v3.00.10_flashable.bin is this one: https://github.com/amnemonic/Quansheng_UV-K5_Firmware/blob/main/firmware/k5_v3.00.10_flashable.bin
My steps:

1. unpack k5_v3.00.10_flashable.bin and get k5_v3.00.10_flashable.dec.bin
2. mv k5_v3.00.10_flashable.dec.bin to .\src\orginal_fw and rename to orginal_fw.bin
3. mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake ../ -G Ninja $ ninja rssi_sbar_encoded
4. Flash the rssi_sbar_encoded.bin to UV-K5 with official tool, the tool prompts upload success, but the radio can not open.

These are files:

First of all i want to thank you for your superb job, but (there is always a but...) the adjusts made in hidden menu doesn't take any effect. It wolud be nice if you can arrange this. Some of us would be very happy been able of disabling TX in some ranges due to legal issues.

I am using SBAR, which is very useful, but there is a small issue. On the menu page, sub tone scanning page, etc., when you receive a signal (RX), the SBAR information will be displayed.

A suggestion is to integrate all functions into one mod and select them through the menu.

Your bricked radios may not be bricked after all. Switch it on with PTT pressed. If the flashlight turns on, then you can flash the firmware. If it doesn't work, try it multiple times. It worked for me at the 5th or 6th try. My radio was totally bricked (didn't even turn on), now it works perfectly again.

Thanks for your hack!

Looking through the code I can see various GPIO pins like B3 and C6 for the backlight and flashlight control.

Do you have a full list of the pin assignments, for the GPIO and also any I2C and SPI busses ?

Also. Is the processor a clone of a STM32G030C8? Because looking at some of the GPIO pin numbers used in the code, I can't see those pins on the LQFP48 official STM32G030C8 device

Edit.

I see the GCC settings are for the STM32F030x8 but the vsCode svg is for the G030

I'll need to check the GPIO pins on the F030x8 as perhaps they are different from the G030x8

Edit 2.

OK. My bad

If the process is F030 then it makes more sense

But it would be good if there was a complete list of the GPIO and other interface connections

I think, will be great somethin like KISS TNC over UART. For BBS, Packet Radio, APRS. Is possible?

Or is that just an illusion?
Anyway, I like the hacked firmwarez!
Good job, boys!
:)

Function NOAA Channels no matter if 10 PMR frequencies instead of NOAA Freq. replaced, NOAA_S is on or off it does not stop or listen in on active Channel. It keeps scanning without audit / audio. A 1050 Hz Tone is required to open the Squelch. The 1050 Hz tone will also demute the receiver, activate a flashing LED and cause the audio on hearing.

RSSI printer does not work when monitor in the monitor mode

First of all, thank you for your outstanding work!
I would like to ask if you could try to add the ability to encode POCSAG to UVK5?
Using the FSK Modem of the BK4819, it would be interesting to encode POCSAG to transmit a signal to a pager, similar to the messenger function you have already developed, thank you! The code to encode POCSAG using STM32 can be found here:
https://github.com/W-Linus/STM32_POCSAG_Audio/tree/main/Drivers/pocsagAudio
Perhaps a function to specify the address code by using the K5 Keyboard needs to be added.
Thanks a lot!

s_bar hides the scan window even after the RX ends and s_bar disappears.
soft version v54

Is there any chance to make mod with smetr but on original FW, without changed TX/RX frequency?

I just upgrade using uv_k5_26_rssi_sbar_encoded_v50.bin, now the battery voltage is blinking.
Before im using Release 48, it stable and good.
Please fixes it.
Thank you

When in NOAA mode, the second VFO opens SQL

Fantastic, this is thanks from Chinese radio amateurs, I have UV-K5 Chinese firmware, are you interested in modifying?

Hi!
It's about your patch mod_piotr022_rssi_sbar.py and stock firmware k5_v2.01.26_publish.bin.
If the frequencies are blocked for transmission Tx, then despite this, the Microphone Level is printed with some fake values. Is it possible to remove this by doing a Tx lock check?

Thank you very much in advance!

For example: s-meter, frequency of channel/

Can you give each rssi_sbar, spectrum, rssi_printer a version number, and change it every time you release.

CR:

Hi. To me it makes sense that backlight only shines if signal breaks threshold.

a) For the time signal breaks threshold. Plus n (5?) sec after below threshold.

Or

b) For n seconds - #define-d in code.

I know there's a GPIOB->DATA ^= GPIO_PIN_6; thingy. Maybe it could be used for backlight mode.

this is awesome...may i request to adjust the graphics of bars?...'cos receiving a full scale +50, there is an extra bar appearing below...can you adjust it for us?...thnk you...

Hi,

I see messanger via AFSK but maye will be nice use RiBBIT messagner

https://www.ribbitradio.org/#/

https://github.com/OpenResearchInstitute/ribbit

the idea is excellent and it will be the first radio use RiBBIT without a mobile phone to communication

Ribbit a new digital text messaging mode for HF/VHF/UHF recreational and emergency communications

If AFSK mode works is it possible to send via APRS position defined/fixed in the menu (because we don't have GPS on board UV-K5)

Sbar_v44 shows inproper values related to bars.
The number +20 is displayed earlier +10. I mean that +10 should be earlie rthan +20 when the singal level increases.

I did some dig for V3 firmware.

In release 35 the SBar does not appear after flashing uv_k5_26_rssi_sbar_encoded_v35.bin.

I have confirmed that release 34 works properly.

Is this ninja's target still on the table:

$ ninja par_runner
ninja: error: unknown target 'par_runner'

and when I do a build without any target:

cmake works well. I have been trying to check your last commits but didn't find any changes to this target.

Thanks in advance, Dawid SP4KOT

for example https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005005691847348.html

Może warto zrobić katalogi dla różnych modeli i jednocześnie udostępnić źródła?

Might be worth changing the text in the messenger section to say 'FSK', not 'AFSK', as this is what it looks like you are doing?
(according to this line: https://github.com/piotr022/UV_K5_playground/blob/main/libs/radio/radio.hpp#L69C33-L69C33 )

I see in the register map (Register 0x58) there's a mention of 'FFSK1200/2400' which sounds like it might be AFSK?

Of course, FSK is going to perform better, no 'double modulation'!

1 - If you open the scanner and close it for the first time works fine. But it you do it one more time it always goes back to the scanner screen. The only way to close it is turning off the radio

2- If you start the scanner while RXing the speakers go WOWOWOWOWO (high pitch)

Anyway is veeery coool addition.
Congrats!

Hi
Currently in the menu ABR (settings for the time of the backlignt) is OFF; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5.
My proposition is to give more time until 10 seconds, such: OFF; 2; 4; 6; 8; 10.

Thank you.

Brush (uv_k5_26_rssi_sbar_encoded_v48.bin
)https://github.com/piotr022/UV_K5_playground/releases/download/release-48/uv_k5_26_rssi_sbar_encoded_v48.bin, UV-K5 will sometimes have no screen when it is in standby, and the screen will appear after restarting K5, but there is no screen , both transmission and reception are normal.

After installing rssi-printer, the RX audio is gone after transmitting.

Good day. Sorry if this is not the right place to ask. You have done a great job with this walkie.

I have tried the RSSI bar mod, and I like it, but I use this other one: k5_v2.01.19_mod_AM_18to850mhz.bin, because in my city the AM signal that that I receive best is at 136.520 MHz.

Could you make these mods capable of AM above 135.9Mhz? Rx only. Is it possible?

Thank you very much in advance for your time and your response.

Please, add .editorconfig file to meet project code style. Needed to better VCS support without formatting between standards.

Common practice is 2/4 spaces per indentation. Modern IDEs respects .editorconfig file.

// as note, tabs insteads of spaces better for reasons: can be 3-4-8 spaces per tab if USER wants, less code weight. But tabs for c-like languages not standard...

Hello! There is no rhombus symbols now, backing to stock or to "classic" 18-1300 don't brings them back :-(

1. Spectrum on frequency 136 MHz to 173 MHz can not display. Is it normal?
2. Request marker to be mark manually.

thanks

Hi!! i just saw the asfk mod and again man, hat off!!!

I was wondering if you can do a RSSI SBAR vesion without the 3 delay second. Thats will be very usefull when im adjusting doppler on sats.

Thank you very much!

73 de LU7CGJ form Argentina!

Is it possible to add a sound modem, send | receive digital data? on free band like 433 or 868 MHz?

can spectrum marker be put manually? thanks

Any chance of an update to use it?

Great work! One thing I've noticed when using UV Mod Kitchen plus the rssi/sbar mod (amongst other mods) is during Air Copy the overlay blocks the screen. Is there a way to switch off the rssi/sbar during the Air Copy procedure?

Thanks.

Great work :) Only wrong AIR frequencies in AIRband with 8.33 kHz step.

Feature Request: include custom WAV file in firmware build for modifiable roger beep

Description:
I would like to propose an enhancement to the firmware that streamlines the process of adding a customized roger beep sound to the radio. Currently, the roger beep is fixed, but adding the ability to include a custom WAV file for that during the build process would simplify the customization process and provide more flexibility.

Proposed Solution:
Develop a comprehensive mod that includes the option to import a custom WAV file for the roger beep sound. During the firmware build process, the mod should automatically integrate the WAV file into the final firmware.

Benefits:

• Streamlined customization: Users can easily include a personalized roger beep sound without dealing with complex configurations.
• Unified solution: Instead of relying on separate mods for Python scripts and audio files, this feature would provide an all-in-one solution.
• Increased accessibility: Users with varying levels of technical expertise can take advantage of the customization feature.

Example Use Case:
A user who wants to create a personalized radio firmware can now simply select the desired Python mods and include a custom WAV file for the roger beep sound, all in one streamlined process.

I am excited about this proposed feature as it would significantly enhance the customization capabilities of the firmware. I am open to assisting in the development and testing of this feature if needed. Thank you for considering this enhancement.

Hi,
the string sbar is printed over the password entry screen, which prevents control over the password entry. The latest mod update v.48 did not fix the bug - uv_k5_26_rssi_sbar_encoded_v48.bin

Signal strength always pop up as shown below.
