📻 ARP - Amateur Radio Programmer

(also known as AARP: Android Amateur Radio Programmer)

ARP is an experimental project to bring open-source amateur radio programming to Android!
Inspired by CHIRP, the goal is to provide a cross-platform, extendable radio programming tool built with Flutter and Dart.

Currently, ARP is a proof-of-concept demo that demonstrates basic communication with a radio (e.g., UV-K5) and the ability to download its memory map using USB-OTG. This establishes the groundwork needed to build a full-featured editor and programmer app for various radios.

• 🔌 Detect and connect to USB serial radios (tested with UV-K5)
• 🧠 Download radio memory map
• 📜 Live log of radio communication

• 📝 Full-featured memory editor and programmer: Edit frequencies, settings, and upload to your radio.
• 🔗 Extendable architecture: Support for multiple radios, each with their own Dart-based driver.
• 🎨 User-friendly UI: For both beginners and advanced users.
• 📱 Cross-platform support: Focus on Android, but open to other platforms via Flutter.
• 🌎 Open source: Community contributions encouraged!

• ⚡ Fast cross-platform development
• 🖼️ Modern UI for mobile devices
• 🧩 Easy to extend for different radios
• 🛡️ No native C/C++ dependencies (all drivers in Dart)

🚧 This is just test/demo code! 🚧

The current app is a tech demo to prove that communication and memory download works via Dart and Flutter.
There is no editor or upload functionality yet.

1. ✅ Stable memory download for UV-K5 (done)
2. 🧩 Modular driver system to add new radios
3. 📝 Memory editor UI for channels and settings
4. ⬆️ Write/upload support
5. 📶 More radio models supported
6. 🏆 Polish and publish to Play Store
