This is the DIY Kit version of the popular AIOC. Once assembled, it functions exactly like the pre-built version: a compact USB-C adapter that acts as both a Serial Port (for programming) and a Sound Card (for digital modes), handling Audio and PTT simultaneously.
Key Features
Dual Functionality: Works as a COM/Serial port for programming (CHIRP, etc.) and a Sound Card with PTT for digital modes.
Semi-Assembly: The difficult SMT work is done. You only solder the final connectors which are moderately easy.
Software Ready: Perfect for DireWolf, APRSDroid, VaraFM, Winlink, AllStarLink, and more.
Quality Assured: Ships pre-flashed with the latest v1.4.1 firmware (Hardware v1.2).
Required parts
You will need an AIOC solder guide to help with soldering. You can add a solder guide to your unsoldered AIOC order for free. Discount applied at checkout, limit 1 per order.
Requires a USB-C data cable (not included). To prevent RF interference issues, we strongly recommend a high-quality, shielded cable with ferrites, like our cable.
Assembly Instructions
Before you start, please review the guide and video to ensure a successful build:
OS: Plug-and-play with Windows 10+, Linux, and MacOS.
Compatible Radios: Fits radios with a Kenwood 2-Pin (K1) connector (e.g. Baofeng UV-5R, Quansheng UV-K5, BTech).
Semi-Compatible: Some DMR radios (like Anytone 878 and UV-1701) are compatible for Audio/PTT only and cannot be programmed.
Not Compatible: ICOM, Yaesu, or Baofeng waterproof models (e.g. UV-9R).
The AIOC is an open source design by Simon Küppers. NA6D manufactures these units with hardware version 1.2. Read more about the device at https://github.com/skuep/AIOC
