Introduction to UV-K5 HF 0.5 (Fullband receive version)

 Introduction to UV-K5 HF 0.5 (Fullband receive version)

This is an introduction to UV-K5 HF full-band reception firmware 0.4HF using SI4732-A10.
This version is released separately from the existing UV-K5 CEC firmware version. because space is needed to store a large PATCH file to use SI4732-A10's SSB.
This article only describes the features newly added in Version 0.5.

Please check the links below for full features.

How to modify your hardware

Version 0.3HF (Most feature descriptions are provided)

Version 0.41HF (Description of Band plan function and Dual RX function)


1.Shortcut key description
After several version changes, the shortcut key was confirmed.

1.1 Frequency fine tuning (Under 1Khz)
 Number keys 1 and 4 can be used to change the frequency in 10Hz increments.
 Although it is a BFO adjustment, the BFO is reflected in reverse, so it has the same effect as changing the frequency below 1Khz in SSB mode.

1.2 Change frequency step
 When you press the STAR(*) button, the step changes.
 Step is underlined at the top of the screen and below the main frequency.

(100Khz Step)

In version 0.5, steps 500Khz, 50Khz, and 5Khz were added.
(50Khz Step)


1.3 Band Plan
When you press number key 0, Band Plan is displayed. Please check the link below for Band Plan related functions.

Version 0.41HF (Description of Band plan function and Dual RX function)

1.4 Mode Change
 Pressing the 'F' key changes the mode.
Short press 'F' to change to AM<->FM or LSB->USB->CW.
Press and hold 'F' to change to AMorFM <-> SSB or CW mode.


2.Direct Input Frequency

If you press any number except the above shortcut key, direct frequency input mode will be activated.


Enter the desired frequency.
When you press the Exit button, the direct frequency input mode is canceled.

When all frequencies are input, the band appropriate for the frequency is automatically set.


3. Changed features
  - Frequency step changes from large to small increments.
  (1Mhz -> 500Khz -> 100Khz -> 50Khz -> 10Khz -> 5Khz -> 1Khz)

  - When you select a band from the Band Plan menu, the mode appropriate for that band is automatically set.

  - Unused and unnecessary menus have been removed. (Main VFO Mode, not HF Receive mode)  : U.INFO, Key.LCK  (If you press the F key for a long time in main vfo mode, Lock will be activated or deactivated, so it has been removed from the menu)

  1. Could you publish version with 240 MHz filter switch bound instead of 280 MHz?

  3. Great job, I'm really enjoying it. You can support 128k eeprom (M24M01 - 999 channels) and CHIRP software. Thanks. 73.

  4. Hello
    The speaker is very close to the electronic components of the board.
    How the BFO stability problem was solved. The frequency changes when you move your hand closer.

  5. +1 to chirp module and bigger eeprom support (in my case I use a 24C512, but eventually I'll upgrade). Fantastic work! 73 de IU3POA

  8. Hello! Great idea with si4732. SSB lacks gain. Make register control Automatic gain control max gain

  9. I have started to analyze the 0.5 CEC firmware and try to write a chirp plugin. It's not working yet: https://git.okoyono.de/klaute/uvk5-cec-chirp-driver

    6. Thanks Kai, that is what i missing!
      Also a 999 channel version for eeprom upgrades .... ;)

  10. Please do not post any errors to this blog, i will not read them anyways Alfred. My chirp module is in development and does not belong to the CEC firmware. My github repository has a issue-section. If you really need to let me know that you have problems using my software - which is not ready to use yet - dot it in my repository.

  11. Hello and thank you for your work, with the uv-k5 i have learned a lot.
    I wanted to ask if there is any specific documentation for troubleshooting or common issues? Not specific to this release but the fullband project

  12. Thanks for the mod, great work! I have installed it, the chip resets, but I'm unable to tune any frequency, pressing the side buttons exit HF mode and bring me back to normal mode. Any idea what I've done wrong here?

  13. Hello!
    When you turn on the radio, the si4732 chip is immediately supplied with power. When you hold down the "0" key, short wave reception is turned on; the supply voltage is also present on the chip. When exiting this mode, power supply voltage is not supplied to the chip.
    Is it possible to prevent the chip from being supplied with power when the radio is turned on?

  15. I have the problem that when I keep pressing the 0 button, the display just says Wait. and then the device freezes. Everything is installed properly and tested for continuity.
    I installed the Lusya modification module including si4732 chip and crystal oscillator parts for Quan Sheng UV-K5

    1. Same problem, WAIT and that's where it freeze. Other functions (reception/transmission at standard frequencies) seem to work, I checked the soldering of the module several times

    2. Just al the left of the bottom of the connection to BK1080 must be a 1k resistor that is missing. The resistor connects with pin8.

    3. @Tirwal ich liebe dich... Genau das war das Problem, habe ihn jetzt aus einem anderen Gerät ausgebaut und dort eingesetzt.... Es funktioniert endlich. Du bist meine Rettung..... Was genau ist das für ein Wiederstand, damit ich ihn in das Ersatzgerät wieder einbauen kann.....

  16. Ich habe auch alles gemessen alle Kontakte vOm Gerät zum Board ect. Ich suche seit Tagen nach Lösungen, aber nichts gefunden oder hilft. Ich glaube langsam das es an Si4732 liegt 🤬

    2. Flash IJV an use the Reset All function in the Service Menu.
      Flash CEC_05 again and try it.

    3. This is my close friend's equipment. It hasn't been resolved yet.

      Delete
    4. Ok, but please tell me does IJV work?

      Delete
    5. Firmware in ijv, reset and subsequent installation of CEC05 also did not help

      Delete
    6. Nein, weder der VFO noch All Reset der IJV hat geholfen. Ich habe auch jede Firmware Version versucht... von 0.1 - 0.51

      Delete
  19. Can anyone let me know what software needed to read and write memories Struggling at the moment with 0.41

Release CEC Firmware v1.200 for uBITX All version(include V2, V3, V4, V5)

Release CEC Firmware v1.200 for uBITX All Version (include v2, v3, v4, v5) I did the firmware work for v5 when uBITX V5 was released, but I release it now. I received the feedback from a thankful beta tester and tested it myself by converting my uBITX v3 to v5 but I was not sure. I ordered the uBITX V5 and delivered the correct uBITX V5, so I made a little more fine-tuning. If you use V2, V3, V4, you do not need to update this firmware.
