Description

Requesting development of compatibility for the Wouxun KG-UV8D
I have had the radio for a few weeks now.
The included factory Wouxun software is practically unuseable.
It corrupts the functionality of the radio when saving information into the radio. Needs factory reset at that point in time.

I have one of these radios and have started to get chirp to work with it.

The attached files are the ones I am using to revese engineer the protocol and memory locations.

Updated by Ron Wellstedalmost 6 years ago

What has been decoded so far:
Serial coms are at 19200 baud and the data is passed in variable length
records with a checksum.

Record structure:
Offset Usage
0 start of record (x7d)
1 Command (x80 Identify x81 End/Reboot x82 Read x83 Write)
2 direction (xff PC-> Radio, x00 Radio -> PC)
3 length of payload (excluding header/checksum) (n)
4 payload (n bytes)
4+n+1 checksum - byte sum (% 256) of bytes 1 -> 4+n

Kg Uv9d Manual

Memory Read Records:
the request payload is 3 bytes, first 2 are offset (big endian), 3rd is
number of bytes to read

Memory Write Records:
The maximum payload size (from the Wouxun software) seems to be 66 bytes
(2 bytes location + 64 bytes data).

I have got as far as getting Chirp to successfully identify the radio.

A Gotcha: the first identify packet returns a bad checksum, subsequent
attempts return the correct checksum.. (well it does on my radio!)

The ID record returned by the radio also includes the current frequency
range as 4 bytes big endian in 10Hz increments

Limit 1 = Rx and Limit 2 = Tx (just my guess!)

Updated by Ron Wellstedalmost 6 years ago

Present status:
I have got support for identifying and reading the memory from the radio. By a long process of changing either 1 menu item or factory software setting at a time and downloading the memory, I have determined the following memory layout: (Structure member names starting with an x e.g. x0845, are ones I have not been able to determine yet)
#seekto 0x0044;
struct {
u32 rx_freq;
u32 tx_freq;
} uhf_limits;

Error when importing from data source. Chirp never adds selected frequencies to import.

Updated by Dan Smithalmost 6 years ago

Jim, that looks like a separate issue. Could you open a separate bug (assigned to Ron) for that?

Thanks!

This seems to be mostly working, however I noticed a few issues trying to add new memory channels that were otherwise empty from chirp. Most settings are stored correctly except high/low power (always reads as L on channels that are are actually H) and some weird mute mode gets programmed on the new channels which can be cleared on the radio's menu (but it takes a couple extra button clicks to let you change it, it's as if the firmware is confused by an invalid value in memory at first and doesn't enter the menu correctly). Has anyone else noticed this? My radio has V1.05 'Sain Sonic' firmware dated 20141013.

I'll do some more poking around with memory dumps when I have more time.

A few times I would get 'string index out of range' errors trying to connect:
File '/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/kguv8d.py', line 397, in _download
raise errors.RadioError('Failed to communicate with radio: %s' % e)
RadioError: Failed to communicate with radio: string index out of range

Also does anyone know if this model has a transmit disable setting? On the UV6D you could set the duplex column to 'off' to block transmitting on a certain memory channel, useful for receive-only frequencies like weather channels.

Updated by Stephen Caviliaover 5 years ago

Looks like the power setting is actually the high bit of 'unknown2'

(first channel dump is high, second is low, both show up as low in chirp)

Yes, I have noticed the odd mute mode issue as well. The 'T' icon to the left of the bandwidth 'N/W' icon lights up, which according to Page 06 of Wouxun manual is 'QT Mute Mode'. Not quite sure what that means, but I get no audio unless I turn it off by going to menu 31 (SP-MUTE) and set it to QT. Yes, I also see the same behavior you see at first when entering menu 31. The firmware doesn't display any value, but you can change the value with the arrow keys.

My radio is v1.03 dated 20140617. I bought the radio less than a month ago at my local Ham Radio Outlet store.

Updated by Srini Sankaranover 5 years ago

After writing to the radio with Chirp on my Mac and reading the radio back with the Wouxun supplied software on Windows, I see that every channel is set to 'QT*DTMF' for mute mode. Changing that to 'QT' on the Wouxun software and writing it all back to the radio fixed the mute problem. So I guess whatever Chirp is writing to the radio is making all these channels QT*DTMF mode.

Regarding the Narrow vs Wide band issue, I think Chirp sets the exact opposite of what I specify. My narrow channels get set as wide and vice versa.

Updated by Ron Wellstedover 5 years ago

Code corrected for Power setting (I made a mistake in interpreting the memory structure!) and have forced the mute mode to QT instead of allowing a random value (which seemed to always be QT*DTMF).

Thanks. I think the mute mode works ok now (daily-20141202)
But it seems that power is always set to H irrespective of whether I set L or H.
