Release list
ARDF-v0.8
Version 0.8
Warning! New but incompatible hardware versions sold!
- This release is compatible with UV-K5/6 hardware version 1 ONLY!
- Do NOT flash this firmware on version 2, 3 or UV-K1!
- Check carefully which hardware version do you have before flashing any firmware!
How to identify hardware version:
Changes
- Fox distance prediction for ARDF
- ARDF mode: Use negative gain indexes to get additional attenuation by
- Disabling input LNA (gain index -1)
- Tuning to second harmonic (gain index -2)
- Tuning to third harmonic (gain index -3)
These methods will give you a huge additional attenuation to prevent overdriving the receiver close to strong transmitters. Use this only close to a transmitter if the RSSI value is rising above 200. Be aware that the radiation pattern of your antenna might be different when receiving harmonics.
Known issues
- This is experimental software. Use at your own risk!

ARDF-v0.4
Version 0.4
- ARDF with locked keypad (gain can be changed)
- Improved signal strength indicator
- Fox timing can be disabled by setting number of foxes to 0
Chirp
Known issues
- This is experimental software. Use at your own risk!
- Gain index steps are not 5dB everywhere.

ARDF-v0.3
Version 0.3
Chirp
Known issues
- This is experimental software. Use at your own risk!
- Gain index steps are not 5dB everywhere.
Full Changelog: ARDF-v0.2...ARDF-v0.3
ARDF-v0.2
ARDF-v0.1
ARDF receiver
- First release v0.1
Known issues
- This is experimental software. Use at your own risk!
- Gain index steps are not 5dB everywhere.
- User interface not optimal. ARDF infos had been squished to free screen space. Own ARDF screen desirable.
- No acoustic warning about ending fox transmitting period yet.
