I have several fake NA-711s (two for 3 euros) and they work surprisingly well on the Quansheng. On 70cm from my house first floor to the nearest repeater 17 km further perfectly noise free both rx and tx according to reports. But if I put it on the opposite side of the table I do hear static/noise. And the signal still has to go through a rebar concrete cavity wall and some nearby trees. Simply amazing for such a cheap HT. On HF Egzumer seems to be less sensitive than IJV Mod which seems to be able to pick up even the weakest signals. Maybe an idea for your next video, compare the two?
Hello Ben I have just bought the QUANSHENG UV-K6 I noticed you have a UK cb channel on it how did you do this please as when I tried on my radio won't let me
Im sorry maybe you're already covered that but can you listen to cb radio without modifying the motherboard? I think i have not understood why have you modded the quansheng in the first place. Thanks!
hi Ben, ive got my quansheng k5 but so far havent managed to find anything at all, just white noise. its my first dip into the radio world, i only have so far the stock antenna, ant tips so i can catch my first frequency? does the quansheng only work outside? the only channels/frequencies ive got working on the quansheng is the FM radio!
Something that might be of interest.....I used the stock antenna to test my tiny GS satellite ground station, (433mhz) and actually received about 50 telemetry packets over 24 hours.
nice video Ben, looks like you had the same idea with the oronge knob, making it black, SNAP lol. Also clean your gutter out by the diamond X50 pmsl.....thanks for your time doing the videos as always, great job.
Wouldn't it be great if someone would add a Meshtastic app to the open source firmware so the radios could be used for off grid text messaging ?

Can we receive 174-350mhz and 350 to 400mhz with given stock antenna ?
the shitty abbree 4 foot whip for vhf and the na771 for uhf works pretty well for me
What's the best antenna for listening to the Air Band?
both great radios ,, how ever i got rid and got uv5rH instead kicks 7.5 watts out and air band is way better,,, theres nothing on CB round here
Nice video. I have 2 of those and flashed the various open source firmware into them in order to improve AM reception quality on airband.
Very helpful, thank you friend.
grabbed one of those nagoya 773s i like it
