Program a UV-K5 running IJV_V3 from Android

PocketCHIRP keeps IJV_V3 as its own Quansheng UV-K5 firmware variant and uses a dedicated driver path rather than treating every UV-K5 firmware as interchangeable. That matters when custom firmware changes the configuration fields or memory behavior a programmer must understand.

Verified Bluetooth and USB programming

UV-K5 IJV_V3 has been tested successfully with Bluetooth and USB serial programming in PocketCHIRP, with both read and write operations verified. The Bluetooth result is based on actual IJV_V3 hardware testing rather than being inferred from another UV-K5 firmware.

Verified both ways: IJV_V3 read and write have been proven over Bluetooth and USB in PocketCHIRP. Exact programmer hardware can still matter, so connection compatibility should be evaluated separately from firmware compatibility.

Custom firmware without desktop lock-in

For operators who experiment with UV-K5 firmware, a phone-based programming path means you can keep channel and radio configuration work mobile while still selecting a driver that understands the installed firmware. PocketCHIRP's broader custom-driver workflow also gives compatible future firmware drivers a route into the app without pretending they are already proven.

Other UV-K5 firmware

See the custom firmware hub for other documented PocketCHIRP paths. VUURWERK also has its own verified read/write path with USB serial and Bluetooth programmer transport support.
