S-Meter and AM above 136MHz about uv_k5_playground

You can use the uvmod-kitchen to change Band 2 to cover above 136MHz. Band 2 is the one that has AM.

If I change Band 2 to 18~1300, then there is only 1 Band on device without other bad effects? blush

Yes. The only bad effect is that any time you key in a frequency, you'll be snapped to F2 even if you'd manually changed band before, which means you can never key in a frequency for any other band, ever. Not that you'd need to.

Thanks, I edit the k5_v3 fw to 18-1300, but unable to set AM in sw like 29mhz, I noticed other k5_v26_18to1300 can do that, and
18~107.9 is in F2. How can I change the Band, shoud I set Band 1 to 0-0 and Band 2 set to 18-136? like：

new_freq_low_limit = [0, 18_000_000, 136_000_000, 174_000_000, 350_000_000, 400_000_000, 470_000_000]
new_freq_high_limit = [0, 135_999_900, 173_999_900, 349_999_900, 399_999_900, 469_999_900, 600_000_000]

Thank you very much. I got it. I had some troubles becasuse in Build.bat I had to substitute "python" by "py". And then in the mod_custom_freq_ranges.py, I had to substitute lines "if...." with the ranges of the firmware. It was first time, but I have learned how uvmod_kitchen works.

Thanks again.
