Fantastic video my friend! I'm honored that you mentioned my channel too! Well thank you! 😊 Best 73! Paul

@TechMindsOfficial 3 месяца назад

You’re welcome Paul! There was simply no need for me to include the actual installation as your video is spot on. Have you seen the new boards? Looks like they have an IPEX connector for a separate antenna now. Plus some more tweaks. I have some on order but I doubt I will do a video on them unless they add greater value. Cheers mate.

Well deserved, Paul. That's when dealing with gentlemen as you both.

@@TechMindsOfficial i have just received a V3 board, and the only clue on how install it I have found is the image in the Bangood listing :) I wonder if I can just try it with a single antenna by following Paul's instructions.... The joys of experimenting!

Many people forget Ham radio is about tinkering. As a result I've seen some stupid comments about this modification elsewhere. We're allowed to modify our radios. This is not GMRS, MURS, or FRS.

@la7dfa 2 месяца назад

Tinkering is fine, but you need to have a minimum of knowledge if you are going to transmit. If you do not understand why you can not use an 2m/70cm filtered end stage on HF then I give up... For receive you can do whatever you like.

@GoonyMclinux 2 месяца назад

@@la7dfahe said nothing about transmitting out of band, his comment was about we can modify our equipment.

@la7dfa 2 месяца назад

@@GoonyMclinux Well I read what others have written about this radio over the last year. Some think they can flash it and transmit 5W 27MHz, while in reality their signal will spew out VHF harmonics they are clueless about. It is not a toy if you interfere with aircraft or maritime communications. But yes people can get the radio and modify all they want for receive purposes.

Wonderful Matt.. Always blown over by how much info you can gather, understand and then share so well in such a short time.

@19ct040 Месяц назад

Man this radio was already a gamechanger making a broad spectrum affordable to play around with. I just love mine. Would wish for Quangsheng to create a mobile/base station with the same tuner, menu, everything except for a rotary channel dial and an squelch potentiometer. The handheld version is already perfect.

@la7dfa 2 месяца назад

@@teslar1 Great, but ideally we would like a more powerful unit with single sideband and not DSB and wide filters. A 5W SSB/CW handheld for e.g 20-6m transmit and receive would become extremely popular at a $100-300 price point.

The Quansheng K5 has been the best thing that's happened to Ham Radio for the past decade or more. Any new radio units need to now have firmware modding ability else don't buy it.

@jamespowers8826 2 месяца назад

@@GoonyMclinux As a Boomer Ham, (licensed in 1960 when I was 10), I love tinkering with this stuff. But you need to understand that back in the day, Ham radio wasn't as much about the gear as connecting with people around the world at a time when that was very difficult for most people to do. /old guy rant off

@JimBiddle. 2 месяца назад

A noob question. What do people use as a Jack of all trades ariel on a modded version? I don't yet have fixed antenna, and was hoping for a good mobile one. There seem to be a huge choice, so thought I'd try to narrow it down with some help from more experienced users.

@TonyRIKKI Месяц назад

I'm trying to wrap my mind around how they can produce this radio and what it's capable of for the price of it, I just received it a few days ago, I haven't changed the firmware yet, no upgrades yet and it's still the best Ht I have used, when I find out how and what type of firmware I will use, it'll be even better.

@vevenaneathna 4 дня назад

honestly this is why mfg went overseas. if a company in the us made this radio it would be 300-500usd and software locked/unmodable. i hate globalization and the destruction of local industry, but when industry becomes derranged by monopolies and over demanding workers, while being supported with gov contracts, it makes a lot of sense for other countries to start making stuff instead. do companies really need to make 100x profit on items? like look at anything related to backpacking, 3 dollar chair becomes a 350$ ultralight fashion symbol.

@ball7066 3 месяца назад

Are you sure the already modified radio on Aliexpress has the version 2 board? I know some were being sold by other dealers with the older version 1 board.

@26DR629 2 месяца назад

Yeah I was gonna say the same. I've got the Ali modded version and it's the old board which is ok but V2 is better.

@26DR629 2 месяца назад

I don't think there's any sellers on Ali selling a fully modded unit with V2 yet. I'm sure there will be in time.

@arekx 3 месяца назад

Is transmitting on 2m/70cm safe for mod board chip when using the same antenna? (v2 board, so without separate antenna port)

@TechMindsOfficial 3 месяца назад

Yes absolutely. In fact if you add the second antenna for hf, you have to disconnect the antenna to transmit on v/u to save damaging it.

@al_lazy3519 2 месяца назад

What do you think of the reception on vhf/uhf with the board installed compared to stock hardware? I'd prefer not to make it worse
