Become a sponsor to Armel FAUVEAU

Hi, I’m Armel, F4HWN — an amateur radio operator and open-source developer.

I develop and maintain custom firmware and tools for Quansheng radios, particularly the UV-K1 and UV-K5 V3. What began as firmware experimentation has grown into a complete ecosystem that includes advanced radio features, multiboot and multiconfiguration support, installable overlay applications, and UV Studio — a browser-based workspace for flashing, maintenance, radio control, and diagnostics.

My goal is to make these affordable transceivers more capable, reliable, and enjoyable while keeping the project open, documented, and accessible to the amateur radio community.

Sponsorship helps fund:

• radios and hardware revisions for development and compatibility testing;
• electronic components, programming cables, and test equipment;
• the continued development and maintenance of the firmware, applications, documentation, and UV Studio;
• the investigation of bugs and new ideas suggested by the community.

All sponsored work contributes to an ecosystem that remains freely available and open source.

My previous open-source projects include M5HamRadio, M5AirQuality, and RRFRemote, developed around the M5Stack platform.

Whether you choose a one-time or recurring sponsorship, your support helps me continue experimenting, testing, and sharing new developments with the amateur radio community.

Thank you for supporting my work.

Armel, F4HWN
