Prepper Radio Firmware for QuanSheng K5 (8), K6, 5R Plus, 99, (88), V3, K1 radios.

PrepperRadio

PrepperRadio is a remote communication project for the management of emergencies from a prepper perspective. Including the creation of the PrepperRadio firmware that modifies the ergonomics and functionality of two-way radios, simplified for those who are not familiar with and implements with functions more similar to a telephone. PrepperDock, a computer application that interfaces with PrepperRadio.

This firmware currently only installs on QuanSheng K5 (8), K6, 5R Plus, 99, (88), V3, K1 radios.

The IJV firmware repositories on GitHub only host binaries and documentation, not C source files for the firmware itself. [github.com] That alone disqualifies it from being open source.

“Prepper Radio” is not an official project name or license — it’s a community nickname/branding used for certain IJV (IndiaJulietVictor) firmware builds. These firmware builds are distributed as pre‑compiled .bin files only, not source code.
