UV-KX Open Radio Firmware

..... Work in PROGRESS - not for everyday use

Warning

To test this version you must bear in mind that it can corrupt the data in the EEPROM, so you must make a backup before using this version.

If you want to have a more stable FW and even with more features, I advise you to look at other options.

Warning

Use this firmware at your own risk (entirely). There is absolutely no guarantee that it will work in any way shape or form on your radio(s), it may even brick your radio(s), in which case, you'd need to buy another radio.

Features

• Customizable operating modes and configurations.
• Support for multiple radio models.
• Real-time signal monitoring.
• [ToDo] Additional detailed feature list.

Installation

• Requirements:
  • A working C/C++ toolchain (GCC recommended).
  • Make utility installed.
  • A compatible radio device.
• Steps:

  1. Clone the repository:

     git clone https://github.com/joaquimorg/UV-KX.git
     

  2. Navigate to the project directory:

     cd UV-KX
     

  3. Ensure you have installed the necessary dependencies (libraries, headers, etc.).
     [ToDo: List any extra dependencies]

  4. [Optional] Set up your environment variables if required.

  5. Backup your existing EEPROM data before proceeding.

Building

• To compile the firmware, simply run:

     make
  

• To program the radio via a specific COM port, run:

     make prog COMPORT=com3
