Unfortunately it's not possible to get it to transmit correctly on 27Mhz in any mode (FM, AM or SSB) The radios internal amplifiers are only designed to work within certain VHF and UHF frequencies. Although Unlock TX in the firmware will give out a few microwatts (not even milliwatts!) On 27Mhz the rest of the RF power will come out at much higher power on various VHF frequencies.

does this radio can scan 40 meters?
@m7frs2729 ай бұрын
Not with any of the firmware I've tried. The lowest it will go is 17 meters (18 Mhz)

Greetings from Greece! Could you please provide me a Valid Link for the Latest Version which I think is the IJV mod v2.9r5. Thank you!

I did try it but it bricked both of the radios when I tried to flash it, so flashed them both back. I'll have to experiment more and maybe that's for a future video. Thanks for watching.

Now, if only QuanSheng would release a variant with cleaner output and higher wattage, while still retaining the ability for us to use mods.

Is that on all frequencies? Try turning the squelch up in the menu? It could be local interference? Thanks for watching 👍

Its all good that you in most of these videos are just reading labels, and what differs. but its weird that you don't explain the benefits and the purpose of these things that differs. as just reading labels..hurra but why not explain what it means, benefits, and why its implemented, and where it could come handy (common sense) fx these segments and wider granularity.. 4:50 but its so common these videos I have seen from this channel.. I get it, if you just winging it and you don't know many of these things.. then fair enough.

I have a UV-K5(8) (your right model) and have bought usb baofeng cable with CH320 com chip: installed with good driver. Have difficulties with latest Quansheng FWupdate software (language not recognized) So I have Installed "k5prog_win_v1.27.exe", put the cable, push PTT+switch ON of update mod, (led on ) on the K5.. but the software close for missing response from the radio. I cannot understand why. Any help? Is there a menu option on the radio that block the update/serial cable?
@m7frs27210 ай бұрын
I've not come across that problem, sorry. If you have Facebook there's a great and helpful community out there on several dedicated Quansheng pages that can usually help.
