just bought Quansheng UV-K5-8 radio.
I want to play with custom firmwares with AM/SSB and spectrum view.
But first I want to backup factory firmware and calibration data. But it's not clear, how to do it on linux?
I read that on windows it can be done with
k5prog-win which is designed for Windows and is based on
k5prog which is available on linux.
Tried k5prog:
$ ./k5prog -r -v
Quansheng UV-K5 EEPROM programmer v0.9 (c) 2023 Jacek Lipkowski <sq5bpf@lipkowski.org>
k5_prepare: try 0
cmd: 15 05 ok:1
****** Connected to firmware version: [2.01.32]
Successfully read EEPROM
It wrote k5_eeprom.raw file with size 8192 bytes. But I'm not sure is that eeprom file contains calibration data, or is it needs to be read with different command?
And I don't see the option in k5prog to read exiting firmware from radio. In documentation it has option -b to write firmware, but I want to read it from the radio. Is it possible?
