Been watching many videos of quansheng radios while trying to figure out mine - 99% of them are people who have no clue and are clumsily going through the function combos. Useless but they still feel the need to upload

I looks like Egzumer gave up updating the firmware.

The IJV firmware in ver.3.16 is perfect. I have tried all 3 different firmwares but IJV 3.16 is the best of all in my opinion. Thanks! Saimon SY2CYZ

These are great. Changing firmware is like black magic to me, so it's nice to get these informative side-by-side comparisons.

[@DonzLockz]

Bloody nora, digital modes, too? Geez, amasing!👍🤠

[@ominkan3129]

Great information on the firmware. They are changing and updating, bringing new features quickly, but not always easy to know all the new features. Fagci Reborn firmware is very interesting but I am not sure if it is actually working or not. Thanks for the video.

IJV MOD V.3.20 new firmware now

[@codernov]

Well there is also Punktracker and Reborn. At that with Reborn you getting Si4732 support and Spectrum band and Spectrum analyzer plus it can listen at the same time on more than 2 different frequencies. Listen to 10 freqs at the same time? No problem.

These radios and the crazy model numbering mess. Mine has the gun metal grey finish front around the screen with the screws showing but it has the orange knob lol

[@LuisMontijo-x1f]

I have the one with the metallic part around the screen. I want to know how to get the black knob.

Ben, It is certainly interesting to see what the Different Firmware versions can offer. Now I have one with the latest Egzumer and another recently loaded IJV 2.9R5 . I found IJV V3.13 to have too many variable sub settings... almost like a Beta Burn so I opted for V2.9R5..

Just received my UV-K5 today. Thanks for this video!

[@F4LDT-Alain]

Excellent comparison, thanks.

[@stevehaynes2857]

Great - just what I needed, thank you.

[@W5KJD]

Most informative video. Thank you. 👍

[@K5AIN]

I went back to IJV when v3 came out. Give it a try!

[@lewnetoons]

Another great and useful video, thanks..

[@samgrieg2542]

This was 100 percent useful, thank you Ben for taking time and putting effort into these comparison demos. Hope to see more of the same format as new firmware versions get released.

[@gtretroworld]

Excellent little video Ben, these little radios still amaze me. Thanks

[@DuskarIsNotABot]

I did not had too much trouble following the guide to install IJV V3. It was easy to follow despite some text not being translated (can't read Italian), but i did got my issues.
