-> This repo contains my original implementation that doesn't implement firmware detection yet, I will update it later. The rest of this readme will describe my unmodified version and you will have to select the `UV-K5 (egzumer)` radio model if you are using it. -You can use modified version of CHIRP from [releases](https://github.com/egzumer/uvk5-chirp-driver/releases). The modified CHIRP is built from [source code](https://github.com/egzumer/chirp/tree/egzumer) and contains the driver. It is packed using pyinstaller into one file for convinience, however some antiviruses don't like that and [report it as a threat](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43777106/program-made-with-pyinstaller-now-seen-as-a-trojan-horse-by-avg). If you don't trust this file, then use the other method. - -You can also use development version of driver [uvk5_EGZUMER.py](uvk5_egzumer.py?raw=1) (right click, "Save link as...") and load it to CHIRP manually. +You can also use development version of the driver [uvk5_EGZUMER.py](uvk5_egzumer.py?raw=1) (right click, "Save link as...") and load it to CHIRP manually. +> [!IMPORTANT] +This driver is an extension of the UV-K5 driver that was modified to accept driver extensions. You have to use CHIRP version that was released after 01.02.2024 that contains the correct base driver. ## Loading with menu 1. go to menu `Help` and turn on `Developer mode`
