KSUN M6 programming software

WebCHIRP programs the KSUN M6 in your browser. It runs the CHIRP project's own driver for this radio, so it reads and writes the same codeplug the desktop software does — without installing anything.

No driver install needed

KSUN programming cables use a CH340, CP2102, PL2303 or FTDI USB-serial chip. WebCHIRP speaks to all four directly from the browser, so there is no driver package to download and no Windows version to match. Plug the cable in and pick the port when the browser asks.

• Channel names up to 6 characters
• Transmit power: High 2.0W, Low 0.5W

Questions

Do I need to install a USB driver to program the KSUN M6?

No. WebCHIRP talks to CH340, CP2102, PL2303 or FTDI programming cables from the browser, so there is nothing to install on Windows, macOS or Linux.

Do I need the KSUN CPS software?

No. WebCHIRP runs CHIRP's own KSUN M6 driver in the browser, so it reads and writes the same codeplug the desktop software does.

How many channels does the KSUN M6 hold?

80, numbered 1 to 80 in the channel table.
