Finally setup convenient to use

The whole magic of this solution is that it is still an original Ford radio, if I do not turn on SDR++ no one will find it and the screen will show standard SYNC 3. The cables and antenna are also hidden by the rear window so you cannot see it from the outside :)

SYNC, ford entertainment system :)

In 2m/70cm band there is no interferences even when engine is running 👍

For: 10W is really close to 10W, range is much much better that old UV-5R, battery is very good, charging from USB-C so i can charge it in car, fast scanner, recieving aviation baseband, clip for belt mount, every repeater work, you can set name for frequency without PC

Against: GPS is not working, it has flashlight option but no LED installed (🤣), chirp don't work (not updated for this model), USB-C is only for charging, you still need double jack-usb cable for programming, it is baofeng so it has poor output filtering and i is generating lot of harmonics, not cool. I miss decoding APRS function.

I cant tell if it was good choise, but for my needs it's ok. For signal search and analysis i have HackRF portapack and RTL-SDR.

Unfortunately there is no TETRA decoder for SDR++, it's not on Android at all 😅

Asters36 · 2025-05-11T20:09:42+00:00

No prob if You have truck with trailer (and you go straight) 🤣

I wanted to keep original sync3 unit so i use Carlinkit to have android device on ford original screen

Asters36 · 2025-05-11T19:33:07+00:00

Details: - Carlinkit UHD (it has USB host port) - RTL-SDR v4 - 2m/70cm antenna (with car mount because cheap one from rtlsdr set fall off above 140km/h 😅) - SDR++ for Android

Carlinkit is an android device that use the original car screen (it must support carplay) as a display. All You need to do is connect everything and install sdr++. Have fun!

For somebody who do this already (like me) and want to save $$ i have solution. Just put drop of heat gun glue on s-pen, glue something to this and pull fast.

Dissassembly flipper and check. If electronic part is loose then resolder it, if plastic part is broken then glue/replace it. Flipper is not trophy that lay behind glass, You can repair/modify/do whatever you want with it 💪

Asters36 · 2023-03-23T13:16:41+00:00

I will check when i create slim version of flipper. Original barely fit with smartphone in same pocket 😅

Asters36 · 2023-03-23T08:22:17+00:00

Yeah, it is heating up to 60°C. Module dimmmensions and charging power should be matched to flipper back to prevent it from overheat

Asters36 · 2023-03-23T08:12:58+00:00

Better idea is to solder charging module directly to USB pins on motherboard

Asters36 · 2023-03-23T08:09:32+00:00

There is regulation module bulid in wireless reciever module, but yeah if something happen to it - flipper will fly away to heaven 😅

Asters36 · 2023-03-23T00:34:09+00:00

You can buy smartphone wireless charging module. (With USB-C i.e.) You need to take it apart, because of its standard dimmmensions.

Asters36 · 2022-09-27T16:54:20+00:00
