The interface on the Wouxon looks really cheap & nasty...

[@SIGINT007]

I love the Quansheng K5 and have a K6 on order. It's cheap and the open source firmware that expand it's capabilities is fun to play with. The hobby needs more of this.

[@RevGunn-jq3cq]

Buy 20 cheap radios!!

[@daytona1212]

The Quansheng is $17,49 on Ali.. So forget about Amazon.

[@NickWindham]

Text messaging. The cheap sends text messages

[@superpieton]

The Quansheng is not designed to transmit outside of the VHF (136~174 MHz) and UHF (400~470 MHz) bands. The RF front-end and the low-pass filters are not designed for any other band that the chipset is susceptible to be programmed to.

Good morning guys!

[@kchaney56]

This should have been about a 10min video.

[@d3w4yn3]

Steve was looking like Mr. Evil off of the Time Bandits for a sec, with those face colors!

[@mikesey1]

The Talkpod A36 is not the cheapest of radios, actually. Roughly three times the price of the Quansheng.

[@cherrysdiy5005]

Cool video! I have had much fun with my Quansheng. I think I just prefer it because I can modify it to suit my needs and wants. I love stuff that can be tinkered with.

[@AECRADIO1]

On my Quansheng, On 220, I get 230 mW output.

[@victorcharlie7491]

Great video guys tnx!

[@yetiradiovk4yt]

I have a Retevis RT3S as well as a tyt md390 plus and both support opengd77. Makes them a whole new radio.

[@DonzLockz]

Lock me in for one AIOC Eddie. :)🙏

[@bassmanjr100]

I'd like to use 1.25m because it is use it or lose it, but it requires another radio, antenna, more coax, on and on. And when I listen to the only 1.25m repeater in my area, it is dead silence.

[@johnwest7993]

I like my old Kenwood HT because I know how to use it and how to fix it. :)

[@t.c.2776]

I would have imagined you would have compared the Wouxun KG-UV9T (plus) which is also not a high-end radio, with the Quancheng UV-K5

[@DonauweIIe]

I would have liked to see the woxuns screen close-up

[@Rusted_Link]

Try that Q10H with a hand mic. I have three and none of them work with a hand mic.
