I have refreshed the firmware of the 18-1800 transmission version, but it still cannot transmit in the aviation frequency band 118-136. The receiver cannot receive sound, but there is a prompt on the screen and the green light will also be on. May I ask how to solve it? Does the hardware need to be modified?

@JAKOB1977 Год назад

Just recieved this unit today, after purchasing it some weeks back in China, as it was so ludicrisly cheap, not least from a danish perspective., where everything is very pricey.. as both shipping and VAT +25% elevates it a lot. but 17 - US in total with VAT and shipping, seemed weirdly low, with incl. AC chargercradle, beltclip, typeC cable just seemed to cheap to pass on.. just did a wattage test on K5 146Mhz - High-mode peak 5.05W and settles around 4.99W (SWR1.01 dummyload) - Medium-mode peak 3.44W settles at 3.41W (SWR1.01 dummyload) - Low-mode peak 1.54 setttles at 1.52W (SWR1.01 dummyload) If anybody checked theirs at 146Mhz, would love to hear the values. Used Wattage & SWR tool surecom SW33+ with a 20W dummyload that came incl. (an wattage/SWT tool to around 30 to 35 bucks). The only other programable walkie i got is, the 8800+ which is way more expensive at around 55 US. thx for the hint abolut this software, could make these KV5 very popular

Easy way to jump into the 23cm band is put in 999.999 then hold the up button then at the same time press the down button and it will jump to 470, press the down button to jump down to 300 then again press the down button and it will jump to the top of the 23cm band, will show something like 2995, just the '1' missing. If you have it set on 25khz steps it's easy to go down to where you want . Save it in memory like normal and when you retrieve the frequency it works, save doing the procedure again. Getting it to jump bands by holding the up button as above but this time a press of the middle button on the left seems to do the same trick. Radio also TX on 925.5 which is our allocation. Don't expect much power out but it's a handy shack tool as a signal generator.

someone needs to add a trunking mod to the UV-K5 . ;)

@dan_in_sd Год назад

Also, when you punched in 1000 MHz on the TPI, you could click the Modulation tab and punch in a 1Khz FM tone with modulation level set to 20% or so. That way you could hear it on the UV-K5. ;) and..... I would think you might want to turn down the RF Output Level on the TPI to something like -85dBm to verify it will receive well on a low level signal. Right now at your -40dBm level youre not really making sure there arent issues with the Front End of radio in hearing weak signals. 👌

If you program 999.995, in the 5KHz step mode then use the arrow keys to scroll UP, it will take you down below the AM radio band 000.oo on the display. Not sure what the receive is down there. I am unable to receive AM radio from a local AM station at 1590 AM. The display does go there. Using the UP arrow left of the speaker, it takes you down to 000.oo on the display. Not sure how to get 1.3 GHz to program into the 6 digit plus 2 display, 999.995.oo. The firmware does work. Version K5_26 which is the latest firmware? AnySecu radio model UV-K5, same radio. So far tested, 28-30, 50-54, 144-148, 220-225, 430-470, 900 Mhz Ham bands and beyond. FM, TX and RX confirmed. The system on a chip provides from DC to daylight, the circuitry of the radio does not support the entire HF bands below 18 MHz. Thank you. 73'

@mrld3005 9 месяцев назад

Even if they hack the firmware the internals only work with certain frequencies, sometimes you can hear or transmit on resonant frequencies.

@mikeZL3XD7029 3 месяца назад

Hey Hayden, Thanks a million for this video, my UV-K6 turned up yesterday, having used it for a couple of hours, I note a couple of things: It's easier to programme than my Baofeng UV-5R, without a programming cable I mean. I did buy a cable with the UV-K6, your video on the firmware upgrades was awesome, although it took a moment to get around downloading the firmware from GitHub, I've never had to do this before. The stock antenna makes the radio as deaf a a post, I changed it for another that I had and I could hear the local fire brigade of which I am a member, it was as clear as day! Not sure if I'm having a senior moment here, but in the programming software (with respect to 2m repeaters) it asks for the receive frequency and the transmit frequency, is that the radio end or the repeater it is asking for in either case? I stared at this for some time, thinking, what??? One final thing, in all of the frequencies I've programmed into this radio after the firmware upgrade, I still cannot TX on anything out of the usual 2m/70cm band plan, that is exactly what I wanted, I can RX but not TX.

@HamRadioDX 3 месяца назад

I’d recommend using Chirp mate to program - it’s much easier and better than the QS software (I wouldn’t recommend using it or installing it). When it asks for receive frequency it means the repeaters TX freq (i.e. the frequency the radio listens to). The opposite way around when it asks for transmit. I hope that helps

@garylaurenzi877 Год назад

I think in past videos on Quansheng you mentioned many other names associated to it. For example availability here in the States it's easy to aquire a Anysecu radio which is identical to the Quasheng and to which I was able to perform one of the earlier hacks to unlock 220 band.BTW it's OK for receiving but not for transmitting , little to no pwer output. Nice little radio but tempted to try the Quansheng hacks just to see if workable for extended recieve like you have tried. I get the risks & may brick it but enjoy experimentation and radio was pretty inexpensive and cheaply enough to replace if I choose. I'll let ya know what happens down the page once I get to it !

@lt4324 Год назад

Just FYI, I work 220 repeaters with no issue, full quiet, but of course depends on terrain and distance.

@Spirit_Of_Prophecy_777 11 месяцев назад

The AnySecu is the radio I used for this firmware and it works. K5_26 top of the firmware update list. In case you are interested. Same radio. I have both Quansheng and AnySecu radios. TX on 54 MHz is usable on FM. Below that, and AM is poor audio, even receive. So, 50-54, 144-148, 220-225, 430-470 MHz. I have not tried 29 MHz FM audio yet. You'll need a resonant antenna, on other bands, or an antenna tuner that will tune QRP, or very low power, 1/4 watt, 250 milliwatts.

@johnlannigan9831 10 месяцев назад

I mentioned elsewhere Gary that I use one of the sub $20 3 watt amps with mine and an adjustable attenuator to prevent overload. These amps need between 2 and 10mw drive to get 3 watts out. SO far I've had contacts on 11m, 10m 6m and 4m with good reports, we dont have 220MHz here in the UK.

@larsgmartinsen5043 Год назад

Installed new firmware now, and done some initial testing. It does receive, but sensetivity on lower frequencies (under +/-70Mhz) is not great. Its is noisy all over the spectrum as I can see if you transmit. But still fun to play with and see what it can do, I am still surprised that it works

@mmpiforall5913 11 месяцев назад

I would think to Tx on unlocked frequencies, original antenna SWR would be too high, change antenna to match band you want to transmit on. Test your antennas on a NanoVNA to see that they match your intended application. Lots of antennas I tested peak off band! Lots of SWR and low range in band!

Really? All this works? I want to cover UK CB am and fm and pmr446.... And I'd like it to tx in an emergency.... But I was told it wasn't possible....

I am able to read and write to my UV-K5 using the CPS app but when I try to upload a BIN file with the update tool I get a "The length of the file is too much!" error. I have tried renaming it to something shorter and moving it to the root of the drive but I'm still getting the same error message.

Same problem here. Haven't found a solution for this.

@cyleleghorn246 Год назад

So you said there were "a lot of spurs", that means spurious emissions? Suppose I had the extra rating so I could talk on the hf bands, and I tested the radio to confirm there are no spurious emissions, could I legally transmit on the bands I can talk on? Or is the radio only certified for vhf/uhf, so even if everything else checked out legally, it would still be illegal?

@didotb01 Год назад

if you have the extra license, and you confirmed your unit has acceptable levels of spurious emissions as per your local government radio comms agency regulation, then it would be legal doesn't matter what device you use, as long as you're following regulations, it would be okay. though if you use a device designed for vhf uhf and you modded it to work on hf, I doubt you'll get enough power out of it

@cyleleghorn246 Год назад

@@didotb01 thanks for the good reply! My dream device is a handheld that can rx/tx on every band. I'd be fine with 5 watts of output power because I know how important a good antenna and placement is, and I don't mind hooking it to different antennas for different bands, some of which could have amplifiers inline. I just hate the idea of buying a nice hf radio that costs hundreds of dollars, but has to stay at home and can ONLY work on hf. I want a unit that can do everything and I can bring it with me

I had a ham test his unit at Hamvention, he told me it passed.

@itrstt66 2 дня назад

did you figure out out to change the frequencies?

@earlyadapter643 Год назад

Would be interesting if any hacked HT can tx AM at all, to me it seems that the finals are not linear amplifiers but class C or so, E or F ?

@noimnotarobotcanubeleiveit7024 Год назад

yes. it can tx am. ttested it, its not great but ok

I see a K6 for sale - seller states it's the same as the K58. True for this mod?

@spaceflight1019 Год назад

Anything on a fix for the airband AGC response issue?

@HamRadioDX Год назад

Quansheng's official firmware may have a fix, but they have no release notes. Also try an external/better antenna

@maxmixer 9 месяцев назад

So once modded can this be used on CB channels ! ie 27mhz
