Copycat Baofeng BF K5 Plus Versus Quansheng UV-K5. Who wins! 

That's for introducing me to Mangojewelpod!

The EXIT button is misspelled on the K5 Plus as EIXT. 🤦‍♂️

I bought this same exact radio (BF k5 Plus), even has the same typo EIXT for the exit button, lol. Just wanted to say thanks for pointing out which driver to use on Chirp, been trying for days and couldnt get it to read, but can confirm that using Baofang UV-17Pro works for this radio.

I looked up and found that Baofeng subcontracts to build many radios for many different companies with different specs. Even subsidiaries of Anytone as well.

What is the sensitivity of this Baofeng? What is the sound from the speaker?

It’ll probably sync either way the 5rm option on the latest chirp too.

Стоит ли говорить о том, что у них общее программное обеспечение? Baofeng uv-17, UV-18, UV-19, UV-20, UV-21 pro и bf-5rh/k5 pro.

Any idea how to set the "screen on " time in menu please. The screen keeps going off after 6 sec

Do you have the programming software for this radio? I've been looking everywhere for it and the seller I got it from on AliExpress doesn't have it.

Can I buy this and use in my amazon warehouse ? They use Motorola there is it easy to copy the frequence?

I wonder if that’s a genuine baofeng, so many clones now.

Can the BF-K5 be opened for Gmrs?

Just ordered one and it says version 2, 12- watts, waterproof, airband and agree with other poster, who copied who first…Quansheng 😀 thanks for the video.

Great Video, thanks 🙏 I’ve heard a few people accuse Baofeng of copying Quansheng, but isn’t this just tit for tat, started by Quansheng, who not only copied Baofeng’s red/blue button layout but even CALLED it the UV-5R+?

Неудивительно)) Baofeng bf-5rh похож на quansheng uv-5r plus, baofeng k5 pro похож на quansheng uv-k5. Китайцы решили поднять продажи на внешнем сходстве.

Can u get usb lsb cb and talk on it

Have you seen the Quansheng UV-5R plus? Quansheng ripped off the look of the Classic Baofeng UV-5R.

A very interesting scenario. What's going on here? I have developed a curiosity in the Baofeng radios and have found myself compelled to purchase various models over the years, starting of course with the ubiquitous UV-5R. Each new model appears to have better features.. My latest addition to my collection is the BF-5RH also known as the UV-5RH. This I consider to be a great radio, with easy access to the main functions, and great AM reception. Operation is quick and easy with the colour coded VFO/MR A/B & frequency search buttons. also a decent sized keypad & display. I really like the Black Screen with White numbering, unlike the Blue screen, it has a much better contrast. I have purchased the Quansheng UV-K5 out of curiosity, There appears to have been a lot of hype around this radio, yet I was sadly disappointed in its operation and performance, especially on AM band. Along with its fiddly little keypad and having to use the Shift key every time one wants to change a function, and has now been resigned to its box. Baofeng appear to have jumped upon the UV-K5 bandwagon, though I feel sure it outperforms the Quansheng.

Spectral purity is an abomination with only 6 watts spread across 200Mhz. Its a terrible insult to ham operators.
