Questions & Answers UV-K5 after the V.2 Full HF Band Mod. 

I compared signals reception trough the original SMA connector and from new BNC connector which is connected directly to the V.2 board. Signals from BNC were siignificantly stronger. I presume, that there is a High Pass filter in the front end circutry of this radio which naturally attenuates HF signals from SMA connector.

@@OM0ET Thank you. Would an SMA socket work for the additional antenna? You said you used BNC because you didn't have SMA.

Yes.

@@diabolo3506 I came here to ask this. Fantastic! Thank you for the response!!

Yes, it is the same radio with different box

@@OM0ET Thank you Om0et, I apologise for getting too excited and posting the same question twice! Ignore the second question.

You have to watch the V2 Mod.video. Check my channel 😉

technicaly on the mod for the quansheng. the telescopic is nice... but in reality you could use a small piece of wire connected to a bolt or nut on the top of the radio.. you would get much different results and 32 or 64 feet of wire is not hard to run to a tree quickly...

Alot better i would say quassheng got alot of issssss,hurt my ears

Main reason of Telescopic antenna was to keep portability as it is portable radio. If you wish to use a wire, you can wrap the end of wire around the end of telescopic whip.

Link is in original "V.2 modification" video description.

I don't have it, sry

@@OM0ET OK.. thanks for answering. Good day 73

This is what I'm currently wondering.

Trace is interrupted during the V.2 modification. So answer is, no.

@@OM0ET Thanks!

I was thinking the same thing.. The radio is less than $25 how much more could it be for this mod included.

@@n1kkri maybe it’s to complicated to produce in large scale, if they have to do the mod manually I mean

@@LoekBerkepies The Chinese can make this happen for 10 cents at their end.

@@n1kkri yes of course, but I ment that they would add them to radios that are already produced. New version can be made pre added and for cheap but this version is as is. Maybe they can upgrade them for us (for a small amount extra).

@@LoekBerkepies They would not need the original UV-K5 unless the modified version was for some reason to expensive. This mod makes such a dramatic difference in performance and features. My only thinking would be could the radio if the mod was not done properly not meet FCC compliance. But I doubt that would be an issue because the wires that have to be added would more than likely be etch instead of wires less likely to radiate and cause a problem. Lets face it, regardless of how many different radios they make, who is going to buy the original K5 except for someone who wants to do the mod themself. The MFG could whip this mod together apply it to the board, go through FCC certification, add lets go crazy $20 to the cost and sell them like it was the last radio on the planet.

Oh gosh! Indoors and receivers video... OK 🫣 really smart idea lol

@@OM0ET I'm not moaning, just hate yappy dogs that people leave outside all day to just yap. I've just purchased one of these Quansheng UK-K5 so interested to learn about them to make it easier to use.I also purchased the conversion board but won't put that in until I'm ready

You are ungrateful, be thankful he made this video and don’t complain.
