    Deeku edition Modifications to Armel/F4HWN v4.3

    The idea was to reduce annoyances and useless features combining actually useful stuff

    Flash with https://armel.github.io/uvtools/ or whatever.

    • Menu system overhaul
      • Vertical split changed to horizontal
      • Items renamed and longer more descriptive names
      • Sleep setting renamed from "SetOff" to "Sleep" and no annoying backlight flashing before timeout
    • Rescueops doesn't have flashy flashlight
    • Disabled scanlist editing holding down 5
    • Carefully chosen custom features
      • FMRadio to listen to. It's a radio after all...
      • Rescueops to lock down and hand over the radio
      • Removed VOX, aircopy, spectrum, serial viewer and narrower bandwidth as useless or gimmicks
      • Disabled PMR446 and FRS/GMRS/MURS bandplans as not-needed: just save channels with TxLock:Off.

    This is the original Armel/F4HWN v4.3 release from https://github.com/armel/uv-k5-firmware-custom/releases/tag/v4.3. Below is a slightly modified copy of the notes.

    F4HWN v4.3

    armel released this Dec 2, 2025

    💻FLASH WITH A BROWSER💻

    I suggest you choose one of the following 5 editions:
    📺 Bandscope edition (without FM broadcast support and VOX feature)
    📻 Broadcast edition (without bandscope support)
    🚨 RescueOps edition, dedicated to first responders (without Bandscope and Broadcast)
    ☘️ Basic edition, with Bandscope (without channel name display and parameter saving) and Broadcast FM, but lacking the following features: Air Copy, VOX, Mic Bar, Contrast (SetCtr), Resume Mode, and Mute
    🎮 Game edition, with a small breakout game and FM Broadcast (without Bandscope support and VOX feature)

    📘 Up to date manual available in a Wiki section 📘
    Dedicated CHIRP driver available as an attachment

    🖥️ About the K5 Viewer feature

    You can use K5 Viewer on your PC either as a Python script, or as a web application directly in Chrome-based browser (like Chrome, Edge, Opera, etc.).

    Here is a quick tutorial for dummies:

    1️⃣ Flash your Quansheng K5 with F4HWN firmware v4.3 (Bandscope, Broadcast, or RescueOps edition only)
    2️⃣ Keep the K5 connected to your PC via the USB cable
    3️⃣ Go to https://armel.github.io/k5viewer/
    4️⃣ Click Connect (and select the serial port)

    That’s it. Nothing to install. Nothing to configure. Just plug and view 🤭

    💡 For Quansheng K5 users with an SA818 based hotspot, special *.sa818.bin versions are available in the archive directory. These versions avoid the squelch tail. However, you must first activate Close Tail Command on the SA818.
