If it's anything like the uv8d, the serial traffic is encrypted. I did a bit of digging and it looks like it uses the windows bcrypt.dll library which is a crypto wrapper. There's also a small discrepancy in the .exe strings of the factory software, an extra string with a value of 123456 which I suspect to be the encryption key. Just not sure of the algorithm. Good luck!

Hi HNY to all...
Has any developer make some work on this?
I'm taking a peek on the logs to evaluate if I can make it.
I ask the above question to not step on other developer started work...

Hello,
I wonder if anyone is interested in working on the Wouxun KG-UV8E? It's a wonderful little radio and it supports 3 bands, 144, 222, 440 MHz.
There is a small cash award for having it added to CHIRP and an offer by myself of equipment loan.
Several of the guys around here use it for EMCOM and would like it supported - CHIRP makes everything easier.
New Model #3943: WOUXUN KG-UV8E
Chris Reed did some work on this.
