Any recommendations on where to buy the finished AIOC board?
@@JamesHannibalKH2SR I'm waiting on a stock of 2.5mm and 3.5mm plugs for the boards I got made to sell to VK. It's difficult for me to sell overseas, I need a stockist over there! I'm not sure if the CAHR boys were going to order more, but if not then maybe I can arrange something.
This firmware/software is crazy, we need more of this customisation on radio's.👍
thats what I'm saying.. i wish more radios could be customized like this.. Like the Anytone 878uvII for example ! Imagine the possibilities.. Whish it had a dock like this !
@RookieLock oh man, that'd be awesome doing that on the 878 with a waterfall and remote, etc. I hope someone can hack in and do that.😁👍
Too true, mate, you'd be unlikely to get this sort of functionality/updates from the "Big 3"!
Well that was a good guess. AIOC boards work. Now to integrate this control to VARA FM and Winlink hopefully! Ohh yea. Someone call China and tell them we need a $60 25 watt mobile with this chip!
I hope they develop a mobile with this chip and a broadband amp/front end!
I do try to let people know what around for our radios I glad you like it brother 73
I think I just had a nerdgasm. Perfect timing on my AIOC to arrive! Thanks for the video!
Perfect!
Awesome Mate!!!!
Hi Hayden,
Thanks so much for this video.
I happened to be reading the NZART magazine that arrived in my postbox, it mentioned in an article about this radio that if you want to import this radio to NZ you need permission from Radio Spectrum Management.
I sent them an email to clarify this and are waiting on a reply, apparently these sorts of radios are on a list of "Prohibited Equipment" on the RSM website.
This is just a heads up to anyone else from NZ that may be looking to import these radios
and I will let you know how I get on, not sure if Aussie has the same thing.
Good grief lord, I didn’t even think about using my AIOC’s. Brilliant 🏆
So with our AIOC device, we don't need to build that special cable to hear audio?
@@dschaefer6454 certainly what I took from Hayden’s video, he just had a USB-C cable connected from PC to the AIOC and since it had a built in sound card interface it worked without any modifications. 👍
That's correct. Just plug your AIOC in, select the audio input in the dock and away you go!
You'll need a program or something to feed the audio back in/out of. The dock as far as I can see doesn't loop the audio back to another audio source, but I might be wrong. Virtual Cable will work for this.
Brilliant content 👌🏾
Thanks!
Oh geeze takes the walk part out of "Walkie" talkie haha definitely cool though
Sooooo cool Hayden! I believe what you are saying here is that this radio replaces the need to own a Flex right? 😂 All kidding aside. There are so many possibilities with this radio. It’s amazing! Cant wait to try this. 73!
Oooh I wish I had a Flex!
@@HamRadioDX Now we just need the remote software to run on a raspberry pi!
I lost my desire to acquire more cheap handhelds, but these Quansheng mods may flip me. Maybe.
The fight is real :D
Happy new year! 2E0 SCO John
Happy new year!
Hayden can you go into the AIOC setup? Any tricks to making it work or does it just become a pair of audio sources in and out?
I second this.
I have a video that I need to make soon on this. In Windows, basically yes it does become and input/output audio source with PTT controlled over CAT.
It would be cool if you could use a program like that for a text based packet radio format, maybe 100 or 200 characters per transmission, so it would be kind of like chatting on a live stream.
That would be cool! I wonder if we could get JS8 Call to work with it.
@@HamRadioDX I have no idea, I guess it would need the right people to get inspired to work it out, but I think it's technically possible, and I bet it would catch on. People are afraid of public speaking, but communicating via text is super common, and it has other advantages, like if you walk away for a while you wouldn't miss anything. Done right it could be a renaissance for amateur radio.
@@HamRadioDX SSTV TX is possible, google KD8CEC
Thanks, I was wondering whether to test it with the AIOC, I have a couple still in bags that need to be assembled. Now I have zero excuse for keeping my soldering iron in the attic... 😛 A general question regarding the upper side-band fix, can this radio transmit in that mode with this firmware?
I didn't test in this firmware, but I doubt it as it's based off egzumer's firmware and IJV is the only experimental firmware that does the DSB TX.
Where can we purchase a completed board?
Another AWESOME vid mate!
Thanx!!!
Where are you located?
@@HamRadioDX in Florida USA
JUST sent you a cool video of a guy doing pota with this radio on 40meters!
Great video, Thanks. Did you build the AIOC or purchase it?
I built 20 AIOC boards. They will be available for sale to VK soon (international pending). Keep an eye on my channel/feeds on how to purchase some - just waiting for some spare parts to arrive.
Great Thanks, Put me down for 2, Cheers, Ian VK2YG@@HamRadioDX
@@HamRadioDX Gday Hayden whats the best way for a taswegian to buy one of these Quansheng UV-K5? Does Reast do bulk buys?
Thanks Greg
Hey mate, no bulk buys from the club. Best place is probably Aliexpress
I tried it but the firmware in unstable and the radio crashes, it also does not contain the spectum option in the radio itself, i went back to the official Egzumer 0.21
Very cool.
Did you see the remote control software/firmware? AIOC works.
Is there a single firmware update that consolidates all the cool usability functions that I see on all these videos? Or at least a web page that tracks what each firmware is able to do. Maybe like a matrix grid so we can see which one ticks the coxes we need?
Not really, there is limited room in the flash memory and many different developers. The main ones are whoismatt, egzumer and IJV mods.
This feature has a lot of curb appeal, thanks for this tutorial as well as the others you've done.
My cable occupied COM6.
Unfortunately for me, when using the browser method in Chrome to Flash the Firmware, in spite of selecting COM6, I get, "Connecting to the serial port... Unusual error occured, check console for details."
When I realized the programming software was still running, I thought perhaps it was using the com port, but alas, closing the programming software and replugging the cable (and using another cable as well, both of which I used to program the radio previously) did not help resolve this problem.
Is there a sibling radio to the UV-K5 but as a mobile rig with more output watts? It would be so cool to have this capability with higher power.
Not yet, let's hope they make one!
It dont even need to be a full fledged mobile radio at this point. With the software all we need is a black box to plug into. The face and buttons of a mobile would just add cost. Better to spend that on a higher power output and filters.
Is it possible to break off the AIOC board to the diagram shown from github?
I can tell you it is very easy to desolder AIOC pins
This Is So Awsome ! GAMECHANGER, SERIOUSLY, A REAL GAMECHANGER, BUT ONE QUESTION, WHAT DO I DO WITH MY BAOFENGS NOW?:d
Just a little note; when "right click" on live spectrum you get a new menu where you have the option to set a trigger level among other things
Oh wow! I didn’t know that, thanks 👍
Sooo cool... Would be sweet if you could use just the programing cable and then use your computers mic/speakers for the radio.. Would be really cool if you could do SSTV or FT8..
Yeah, the possibilities are endless!🙏
Hey Guys if i try to type in a frequency it always jumps up 2.5khz so if i want to type 160.501 mhz it will Jump up to 160.500 how can i change it to less than 2.5khz steps? Thanks already
In the menu you can set the step value. In the modded firmware it can go down to (I think) 0.1 KHz
Do you think you could get this on android tablet?
My android skills are a little rusty, but I am going to try porting it.
I'm surprised that nobody has asked for Mac yet in the comments!
My plan currently is to go toward a webapp interface with webserial. That way it'll be platform independent.
@@nicsure That's cool! Great little app! I might of missed it, but is there a loopback device for playing the audio out of your PC speakers from the app?
@@HamRadioDX Isn't that what you were doing in the video when you were talking over the radios and muted your OBS? I saw your settings and you have the audio passthrough all set up.
Has anyone been able to transmit and receive remotely? Planning on a zello setup
Would be amazing if android could support this
UV-K5 Link is only showing Accessories.
This should work with a digirig too, ya?
Maybe? Digirig won't pass the communication to the radio though I don't think
ruclips.net/video/UwTz5wricmY/видео.html I think this is the bloke that wrote the software.
Gday Haydn
I bought a k58 nov last year and used a custom firmware for the extend rx.... I have spent the whole night being educated and entertained by your youtube on them.... I see there are heaps of other firmwares and mods to play with.
Looks like the k5 dock version is the most "you beaut" build.
Im only a few months or so in hob bart from vk2land. maybe we can arrange a chat on 2m rptr or dmr? or i have been meaning to drop to qd and checkout the club
thanks for all the info!!!!
