Home Made Quansheng - V5.0 Module + 2Mb EEPROM modification

[@agpamungkas4114]

Merry Christmas everyone!

[@kchaney56]

Wow, I wish I had the skill set to make something like this. Merry Christmas Paul and thankyou.

[@OM0ET]

Thank you! Marry Christmas to you too! 😊🎄

Gran trabajo!! Feliz Navidad. 73.🎉

[@carlosroig5315]

Hey Paul! When shall we expect to see the UV-K5/ OM0ET base transceiver factory version?😊 Merry Christmas to you and your family! WP4AOH, San Juan, Puerto Rico

[@OM0ET]

haha :D that would be great, but it is probably the only prototype :D I am waiting for a real one from Quansheng company ;) Merry Christmas and HNY 2025! 73

[@johnemmons9087]

Really awesome build! Great job!

[@OM0ET]

Thank you!

8:20 Never use the print/label as indicator for the orientation! There are clear markers on the side where pin 1 resides, often a notch, a hole or dot or a line. Only use these for the orientation. It is normally also specified in the Datasheet. If the PCB Design is good, then there are pin 1 markers like square pads or a 1 on the silk screen.

[@OM0ET]

I am aware of it, but unfortunately (as you can see on the EEPROM picture) there is no marker so I had to oriantate by labels only

[@ionutbarna]

That's so cool! GJ and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄😉

Merry Christmas.. Did you get any feedback from quansheng regarding the uv6 transmitting on 10 and 11 metres from factory without any modifications ? If someone starts selling something like this they will sell millions of of units, the only other one similar to this I tha Albrecht ae2990 but the quality is awful

[@OM0ET]

Yes, it is currently classified, but i feel it is going to be interesting 😉

[@4krist]

Paul, do you try unlock full TX on x6100 with 1.1.9 firmware?

[@IamSpectre2020]

Beautiful piece of work but why take a small handheld and re-build it into a micro case with little no room inside, why not use a larger footprint?

[@funnycompilations3396]

Maybe it was the only project box he found. Project boxes come in all shapes and sizes but never in the ones you actually need :)

[@laserhobbyist9751]

I liked the radio until I saw it does 1 KHz tuning steps from the main knob, is that what it is limited to or how it was set up to tune? Merry Christmas from Qatar, A75HF

[@OM0ET]

Well, there are two firmwares with Si4732 chip support and sadly both of them offers minimum step 1kHz. I don't know if this is just HW limit or a SW issue. Even on CW is it the same.

[@laserhobbyist9751]

@@OM0ET If I were the designer, that would be the first priority for me, even 100 Hz steps would be too large.

[@johnharris6589]

Merry Christmas great to see you do the v5.0 mod with memory upgrade I’ve just got one for my as of yet stock uv k5(8) there doesn’t seem to be any board mods needed just connecting it al up only the original radio ic being removed.

[@OM0ET]

Nice! You could share here the link for others who is also interested in buy the same ;)

I love this radio but I haven't got the eyesight to build it lol.

[@Tekniverk21]

...a masterpiece 👍

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Wow so good

[@robblerouser5657]

Hey, I found a use for used soldering wick! I use it to fix old fuses... :P

[@HarryLipphaus]

The EEPROM has 2 Mega-Bit (2mB) and NOT 2 Mega-Byte (2MB)! That's a factor of 8, what results in 256 kB (Kil-Byte).

[@hankaajindrich8622]

Na sundani 8 pin SMD bych použil měděný drár 1,5mm2 ohnutý okolo všech noh a pak to prohřál vše najednou. U přizvedávání drátkem hrozí utržení z PCB.

[@OM0ET]

Thank you for your advice, but don't worry, lift is not so high that would cause so strong pressure to the second side of component and damage traces. 😉

[@StenliKubrik-ik6vo]

Так и не понял,нафига там нужен eprom на 2 мегабайта?И скажите какая прошивка стоит?

[@OM0ET]

For FAGCI REBORN firmware

[@bussi7859]

When you solder a tiny wire to a SMD component the at least make a small expansion loop or curve to the wire or you will soon crack your tiny smd. Read IPC 610A concerning repair of circuit boards.

[@bussi7859]

Your Methode of removing an IC is the word I have seen ever, you will soon destroy a PCB. A better Methode is to use a heat gun or to use a special Solder iron tip or the simplest way to cut all the pins from the IC with a scalpel and desolater each pin separately. Your workmanship sucks

[@OM0ET]

Destroy a PCB 😆😆😆🤦‍♂️Good joke 👍
