with the original miracle whip antenna or the wonder wand whip antenna there are lots of videos where operators make contacts between 1500 to 3000km on 20m 17m or even 10m but with this kind of antenna if you don't receive a station at minimum signal S5 it's not even worth hoping to be heard

I set up in my backyard with my IC-718 (at 50 watts), a battery, a solar panel, and my home brew 20 meter vertical. I did ok; I logged 32 contacts just operating sporadically Saturday evening and Sunday morning. There was a lot of QRM during the daylight hours, but was better when the sun went down. I did have a non-field day QSO with VK2CPT in Australia! He gave me a 5-8! Don / W5DON

What is the radio

How do i get my radio from being in tx disable

Just sid upgrade 3.16 , how do you enable tx

Hows the tx audio on ssb , want to use this on 2m ssb

How was field day by you? Give us the stats, where'd you operate and what class? Eq and band reports? Check the description for additional content. Like and subscribe for more! 73

Would a hamster powered radio via a series of those wheel they run inside of be allowed? Asking for a friend.

What came first, the battery or the radio? :)

Was that Mr Softee I heard?

I'm calling PETA! You are torturing that pig, making him carry all your radio stuff

How Summer E skip and tropospheric Ducting by you on the VHF bands? Any good contacts? Comment below. Also check the description for additional content. Don't forget to like and subscribe. 73

Great googely moogely. I'm trying to like this radio. I like the size and weight (I intend to use it as a manpack unit for the SAR team) i love the display being on the mic and the 3 freq stand by (triple watch?). The programming on the fly (like we do in the go) is a real pita though. Thanks for this great tutorial! I was pulling my hair out!

Thank you so much. I was about to give up and return this radio because I couldn't program the offset and have it work in Channel mode. I have never had to program a radio this way but it is working fine now.

How is the VHF activity by you? What modes reign Supreme at your QTH? Let us know and comment below. Check the description for additional content and don't forget to like and subscribe. 73

How high in frequency does the contest go?

Nice coordination for the multi-band with N2NT

Is that radio modified? I didn't know ham radios can tune to other frequencies.

shortwave propaganda station

I worked Field Day 1B QRP in 2023. I made 200 QSOs. You need to dump the hamsticks they are not efficient especially with no radials. A vertical with a good set of Radials - 10-16 will do the trick. Full sized dipole would be OK too. I used a Rybakov antenna for FD. 80% CW, 20% phone in my case.

Yo that’s wild

Fantastic job!

That thing really is versatile

10 meter FM is nice for when you’re nearby for rag chew. That squelch really does come in handy. Although you can’t beat that SSB efficiency

What is this FM tomfoolery?

A lot of hams downplay the Technician license but if you know how to take advantage of it you can have lots of fun on different bands and in different modes.

I have one; FM is weak on telescopic antenna

Great content! de W2CSI

What link is there to download that firmware, great video by the way!

Has anyone figured out how to disable the RIT function on FM? Comment below and thanks. 73

Programming your HT manually "On the go" is an actual an ARES requirement for level 2 certification.

I wonder if your pig can program the china sheng radio with his three fingers?!?

Maybe it will lork better with CW or some digital modes?

I say the Quansheng is the Leatherman of HTs!

The Quansheng is the Swiss Army Knife of HTs.

hi, I didnt get the dial. What does the numbers mean? If i want to use on 27.555 MHZ, where to rotate? Thanks

Whines constantly with poor reception on newer X.

Any luck experimenting with different length counterpoises and being able to make a QSO ?

I’d like to find out how well these little machines can do CW (if they even support that?)

Hi from Andreas

I am continually impressed with this little radio.

I heard the Quansheng would be awesome at Rx if you put a giant wire loop antenna on it!

Any obscure menu items? Comment below and tell us what they are. Hope this video helps you get started with the UV-K5

Nice HT stand

Hope this videos helps you get started manually programming your Quangsheng. Check the description and like and subscribe for future videos.

Interesting how we almost have a fad in amateur radio that’s something like “Set yourself up with low power (I.e., QRP), attach increasingly worse antennas to your transceiver, and see how many DX QSOs you can (still) make as you your antenna system gets further and further compromised. Check out CZcams and you will notice “the fad” seems to be catching on and getting more participation. Kinda cool. Fun until you get to the point where you are running 5 watts into Yeti coffee and drink cup, or something off the wall like that.

MFJ got a bad rap over the years but I have some of their gear and it continues to work well after years and years of use. Sorry to see them turn the manufacturing off.
