Flashing firmware is possible with a separate program, but can now be done much more easily from your web browser (Only Chromium based browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Opera).

Just goto the page with official released egzumer firmware releases.

  • Use a Baofeng/Kenwood-like USB-2-Serial-cable and connect it to your computer.

  • Switch off UV-K5

  • Put the UV-K5 into programming mode (press and hold the PTT button and turn on the UV-K5, check that the flashlight lights up).

  • Then press the programming cable firmly into the radio

  • Select the latest/desired firmware and look for 🗲FLASH WITH A BROWSER🗲 and the build-in UV-mod-programming-page start. Just wait a moment and the firmware is loaded, or select a different file from your PC.

  • Press flash firmware and a screen pops-up.
  • Select the Com-port where the programming-interface is connected.
  • Press Connect and the firmware programming starts (White LED starts flashing) and view the progress in the browser-screen
  • Just wait ... until

100

When finished, disconnect the programming interface and enjoy a new release version ;-)
