[chirp_users] UV-5r Serial Protocol & Commands
Can anyone point me to public (or share their personal) documentation on the serial protocol and commands supported by the Baofeng UV-5r?
I'm interested in seeing if real time (or near real time) software control of a UV-5r is practical. Basically, I'd like to setup a Raspberry Pi, some additional hardware [custom shield] and an Ethernet connection [w/ PoE?] that could plug-n-play with a UV-5r that to provide a remote [tower top?] back end to a soft [chirp based?] front end on my Linux desktop or android smart phone.

You can't remote control the UV-5R from the serial port. You can only clone (download and upload) the memory channels and settings.

With that said, if you are interested in learning more about the inner workings, Lior Elazary has made the most progress that I'm aware of: http://www.elazary.com/index.php?view=category&id=14%3Abaofeng-uv5r&...
(It's beyond scope of chirp list ;)
