Baofeng UV-3R: Firmware Hacking

I'm way behind on this topic, but I am posting this in case you haven't see it at all. Lior is working on a custom firmware for the UV-3R. (He started with the UV-5R, but moved to the UV-3R when the project looked to be easier.)

If you have suggestions for features, he's started a thread on the UV-3R Yahoo Group.

Baofeng UV-5R: Version Info

M makes an educated guess that the information displayed when holding various keys down during power on is a version/firmware revision:

If you switch the radio on while holding hold down the "3 key" the radio shouldbriefly display "VER BFB230" which I suspect is either the model number of majorfirmware version.
If you switch on the radio while holding down the "6 key" the radio shouldbriefly display the firmware revision number, and what looks like a firmwarebuild ID. For example mine displays "1203101 VER-05"

Mine is "VER BFB230" and "1201002 0000002". I ordered mine the night they became available on the 409Shop, so I may have a very early collector's edition.
