ATENTIE: Folosirea necorespunzatoare a statiei radio, emiterea in benzi neautorizate, perturbarea unor terti, precum si orice altceva care este impotriva regulamentului ANCOM valabil, efectuarea unui update de firmware gresit, care poate strica statia, este in totalitate raspunderea dumneavoastra.

Sa trecem la treaba. Pentru toate versiunile, pasii sunt “relativ” identici.

uvtools-egzumer_v0.22 – la acest link este un website cu care puteti scrie firmware-ul direct pe statie. Este cea mai simpla modalitate. Folositi un browser Chrome, si asigurati-va ca driverul pentru cablul USB este instalat.

Operarea meniului

Meniul poate fi accesat cu butonul M (apăsare scurtă).

Odată ajuns în meniul principal, elementele de meniu vor fi afișate în partea stângă a ecranului. Elementul de meniu selectat în prezent va fi evidențiat și valoarea curentă pentru acel element de meniu va fi afișată în partea dreaptă. De asemenea, în partea stângă jos va fi afișat un număr al elementului de meniu, variind de la 01 la cel mai mare număr.

Pentru a găsi elementul de meniu de accesat, pot fi folosite tastele săgeți UP/DOWN , sau numărul articolului de meniu (vezi listele de mai jos) poate fi introdus pe tastatura numerică. De exemplu, pentru a accesa setările VOX, un număr 57 poate fi introdus pe tastatură.

Odată ce elementul de meniu dorit este evidențiat, apăsarea tastei Menu va intra în acel element de meniu.

Odată ce elementul de meniu este selectat, apăsarea tastelor săgeți sus și jos va ajusta setarea pentru acel element de meniu. Pentru a confirma selecția, apăsați tasta Menu. Pentru a anula selecția, apăsați tasta EXIT.

Meniu principal

Numărul din fața descrierii articolului-meniu este un număr al articolului de meniu care poate fi folosit pentru o selecție rapidă.

https://whosmatt.github.io/uvmod/ – Acesta este un configurator in care puteti seta urmatoarele:

  • Aplicatii: S-Meter, spectrum analizer, text messenger, Pong game
  • Icoana baterie
  • Custom bootscreen
  • Fontul si cum se afiseaza pe ecran
  • Deschiderea receptiei de la 18 MHz la 1300 MHz
  • Pasi frecventa
  • etc

Saitul este in engleza si este bine explicat. In prima sectiune de instructiuni puteti vedea si cum se poate deschide la emisie. Se porneste o sectiune “rosie” a saitului.
Apoi, in partea dreapta se da click pe Patch firmware, dupa care pe Flash directly.
Trebuie folosit un browser Chrome, doar cu acesta se poate comunica prin cablul serial USB. Daca nu functioneaza, probabil aveti nevoie de driverul pentru cablul USB. Statia se pune in mod programare tinand apasat butonul PTT, apoi pornind-o. Ledul va sta aprins, iar cand incepe scrierea, va clipi.

FAGCI SSB:
Pentru ca se poate decoda SSB, daca folositi versiunea “FAGCI” puteti avea si SSB pe Quansheng. Filmul urmator va explica cum se face: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DE-YBfNScs
link updater Download Firmware Updater(folder name “UV-K5(8) Firmware”)
