Egzumer scans on whichever is highlighted A or B. Plus program your own preferences with a short press of #1 & #2 under ptt button and also a long press.

Tried IJV for quite sometime, I like the single line mode wherein you can input "ANY" frequency with no issues, love the "gain", but , I agree with the side buttons shortcuts of Egzumer it is a life saver plus the awesomeness of having a spectrum analyzer, will wait for the updates from IJV. Thanks for the vid Ben!

I tried out egzumer, ijv and several others around 6 months ago when I first got my quansheng. I ended up going with ijv over the others and for the life of me I cannot remember why! It was a total deal breaker for the other firmwares. I ended up not using the radio for the last two months or so and now I'm just baffled at the reason I why i had to have ijv over the rest.

One of the first things I noticed when I did the Egzumer v0.22 upgrade: the option to select a decent length for the backlight to stay on. The original firmware only allowed a maximum of five seconds. ☺ I flashed it with Microsoft Edge (not Chrome) and it worked fine. I've played safe and set it to tx on amateur bands only. An observation is that mine won't tx in USB - I just get an error message. I hoped I might be able to use it for 2m SSB. :-( Thanks for putting this up! ♥ Mark GØOIW

So what’s the real distance from handheld to handheld how far away can you get from each other with it and how about in a 10 story building will work inside the building from downstairs to 10th floor?
@m7frs272
@m7frs272 8 ай бұрын
Hi, it would really depend on the construction of the building and any local RF interference within the building, but it should be fine. As for distance, that really depends on the terrain. In open air and line of sight I'd imagine about 5 miles on VHF.

Hi, "II" is showing that particular channel is is scan group 2. If a channel is in scan group 1 it will show "I" or nothing at all if its not assigned to any scan group. I think it does the same in most firmware versions to be honest. Thanks for watching 👍

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. See my other video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHaVimqMZ9l6g68si=b0fyKPd3xYljOYg1

I want the frequencies and the modes open in the firmware since I plan on changing the hardware filters and amplifier stages to work properly on 10 and 6 meters. I already have plenty of 2 meter, 70 cm HT's. It's a bit of work, especially adding antennas that will work on those bands, but it will be a lot of fun, and that's what ham radio is all about. But the firmware is beyond me, so I'm just waiting for firmware that will do the job.

Just calibrate with signal generator (like TinySA eg) with IJV (as far as I know the only fw with which tuneable) and you don't need anything. 6 and 10 metres is sensitivity less than 127dB, which is very good i think !

This is a weird question but lets say I put EGzumer on any radio. Can I still use CHIRP as an easy way to change my radio programming or won't it work because of the firmware? If it doesn't work is there something to use where I can easily change radio features with a computer instead of doing everything on the radio keypad? Thank you

I get it, if you just winging it and you don't know many of these things.. then fair enough.
