## What is boofwang?

boofwang reads a two-way radio's codeplug over Bluetooth, lets you edit it, and writes it back.

Nothing leaves your device. There is no account, no server and no telemetry. A codeplug you read stays on the phone until you export it yourself.

RADIOS

Baofeng UV-5R Mini, over its own Bluetooth module: read and write.
Quansheng UV-K5, Baofeng UV-82 and Baofeng DM-32UV, through a clip-on Bluetooth dongle: read only.

An iPhone cannot drive a USB serial adapter, so Bluetooth is the only way in on this platform.

Channel list with bulk edit.
CTCSS and DCS tones, bandwidth, power and scan lists.
DMR talk groups and contacts on the DM-32UV.
Key slots, masked by default and revealed one at a time.
Import and export CHIRP CSV, CHIRP .img and raw binary.
Repeater directory lookup.

OPEN SOURCE

boofwang is free software under the GPL-3.0-or-later. These memory formats are not documented by their manufacturers: they are worked out by reading other implementations and checking against real hardware, and the source records where every offset came from.
