40 ‐ Q‐Dock program on PC

The functionality of Dock will be explained here

Introduction

A WFP Windows app that allows remote operation of the Quansheng UV-K5 (and equivalent) hand-held radios via the programming cable.

It requires .NET als a "driver" to make this nice graphical interface on the PC.

Installation Video

Install

Download : A pre-compiled release is available here

Installation : The app is essentially portable and can be placed anywhere. If installing from the release build, just unzip it to a location of your choice and run the QuanshengDock.exe inside the folder.

Note

• Your virusscanner might detect the QuanshengDock.dll as suspicious and quarantine this file. Then you must correct this manually in the management screen of your virus scanner
• QuanshengDock needs .NET 6 runtime. It will be installed on initial use
• If upgrading from a version before 0.27.3q the new version will likely have HUGE text on the LCD screen. This is because I had to change the way the "F Stretch" feature worked. If this happens open up your settings and change "F Stretch" to a value around 0.20

Initial screen

Settings

Select Settings - Left below =>

• In Settings there is a Youtube URL on the bottom line. When pressed, it turn RED and it copies the URL to the clipboard.

• Now when you press PTT, the radio will display TX DISABLE because transmission is blocked on that frequency.
