Thanks for your review,I have 6 of the Quanshengs, all on different firmware, (3 Quansheng UV-K5 , 2 UV K5r, 1 UVK6 🇦🇺😎

Thank you so much.... I am waiting on my UV-K5 to be delivered !!! I am new to HT radios, but this one seems good with CORRECT Firmware.... What antenna do you use , it sounded GREAT!! From GLOUCESTER Mass

Is there any other way to do this outside of a PC? Anyone make an iPhone app to flash the firmware with? Browsers on phones and tablets won't let it work. But for some reason my PC FLAT refuses to let me flash it.

uvk5 playground has a firmware s meter, band scope, text chat, even a game

Hi - the firmware does not do AM transmission, sorry about the misconception. The chip inside the radio is FM-only so even the AM reception out of the factory is done by some kind of "hack." There is also a GIGANTIC warning about harmonics, that I hope stops anyone from thinking that they could ever make a functional radio outside the band limits without hardware modifications, but maybe I was wrong. If there is anything else I need to put on the GitHub repository to be compliant, please do let me know. 73 de Andrej Z35TUN / K8TUN

I am surprised by your findings. ¨Not bad¨, right? I have the newer UV-K5(8) model and loaded the same upgraded *26 Firmware with extended range in TX/RX except 630 to 850MHz. De rest goes ip to 1.3 GHz if you type 999,99999 and go up with steps selected. Crazy device, right? I really was surprised by the clarity of 10 meter amateur reception especially in the Cityband at 27MHz. I got signal and modulation of stations even in my house miles away. This is a very affordable Cityband Receiver. You can program all 40 CE channels to scan through them all day without fraining the battery. TX is very low power and probably reaches 50-100 metsrs with several hundreds of Milliwatts or less. That is safe and not bad either. In the airband and FM broadcast band you can transmit also and the stereo home radio set proves that. Not sure if all those FM transmitters for car stereo from a walkman are banned but the UV-K5(8) can do this also. Reception of AM Airband is a novelty and audio quality is very in-audible. You can hardly make out what is said. A dedicated scanner is better suited for this purpose but strictly better. As far as repeater use this blew my mind and i can even listen to a repeater that is more than 8 miles away from me. So the cue signal came in at them with less than 4 Watts. END OF LINE.

qual arquivo para tx am 127mhz ???

But will it blend?

Hello Sandor, Thank you for your videos. I recently overheard an argument about the UV-K5 radio being very bad with interferencing on channels. Just like the Baofengs are hated in europe, this UV-K5 received the same hate. Are they a catergory above the Baofengs, like Wouxun radios? Thanks.

Since it goes down to 18MHz, can you receive AM CB radio?

Hello, can you share the firmware link?
