Installation
: The app is essentially portable and can be placed anywhere. If installing from the release build, just unzip it to a location of your choice and run the QuanshengDock.exe
inside the folder.
[!NOTE]
- Your virusscanner might detect the
QuanshengDock.dll
as suspicious and quarantine this file. Then you must correct this manually in the management screen of your virus scanner- QuanshengDock needs .NET 6 runtime. It will be installed on initial use
- If upgrading from a version before 0.27.3q the new version will likely have HUGE text on the LCD screen. This is because I had to change the way the "F Stretch" feature worked. If this happens open up your settings and change "F Stretch" to a value around 0.20
Initial screen
Settings
Select Settings - Left below =>
- In Settings there is a Youtube URL on the bottom line. When pressed, it turn RED and it copies the URL to the clipboard.

PTT is default blocked
- First UNLOCK PTT by pressing TX
- Now when you press PTT, the radio will display TX DISABLE because transmission is blocked on that frequency.
