- On today's video we take a close look at the KSUN X-TFSI VS:M6 a stubby and stout little 80 channel UHF ONLY radio, we examine it it in close detail and take it out on site with 2 other similar sets to see how it performs over 3 and 6 miles.
This radio was purchased by me with no interaction for the manufacturer and all opinions are unbiased and my own.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to download the software.
Shoutout to mick great to be stand by 🙂
From saudia arabia thank you👍 good test
Thank you for the software link 👍👍🙏🙏
Dziękuję za fajny test , super ! 🇵🇱 dziękuję za link
Professional testing thank you so much
Excelente Amigo... bien bueno su aporte. Lo Felicito.
thanks for the soft man, thanks for the review
Based on the website you have listed below:
So it looks like the max is 22 channel, and not 80 channel. maybe 80ch no longer available. That's too bad I really wanted the 80channel. Othe than that seems like a legit radio. Thanks for editing and posting your videos.
Product parameters and specifications of KSUN X-M6 Mini walkie talkie

It's cool looking i thought 😎👍
Which one would you recommend between M6 and RB615? Just casual use between two or more handsets? Looks like they are similar power output?
The hole of micrphone of ksun m6 is small , if you make it bigger it will improve a lot better clearer audio
I am planning to use these on PMR446 in low power mode. I see the programming software seems to have a PMR446 dropdown 'PMR 446 Set' in the top right. It also has a padlock. Do you know if selecting this will lock the radio to PMR only? I guess I could just program in the 20 channels by hand but just curious on your experience. thanks
Hello @knoxieman, I just ordered a pair of these since my old set of PMR446 radios bit the dust after 15 years of using them. I wonder if you still have your pair and if you managed to get them working with CHIRP. As of today (19.02.2023), the KSUN M6 is still not listed in the supported devices.
I'm interested in this because I'd like to test out setting the radios to high TX transmit power on PMR446 frequencies (I'm not planning to use the feature, just wondering if that's possible in case the legislation in my country - Czech republic - changes).
Maybe it's even supported via the software provided by the manufacturer. Did you get this specific setting to work?
Thanks for the cool video!
I was using these today on vacation they still work great, programming in chirp doesn't work on this set with this firmware though, if you get them locked on PMR from purchase i don't think you can change them
Why do they keep labeling 3.7 V battery 2 W radios as 5 W or even 8 W?
Can I ask for help to demonstrate the use of the Wireless Clone or frequency scan feature on the KSUN M6..
Does it have an FCC ID# or did they just cleverly print the FCC logo on the box?
I bought but it doesn't work it hangs at launch can your meter one day the system?
4000mW of snot is always going to be 4000mW of shot. What i much more interesting would be its receive characteristics under various conditions
👍👏👏
Is the ksun or the retevis rb615 better? 🤔
Hi, can someone help me with the link for the programming software? Thanks
Can it do those beep beep noises for the privacy channels on other walkie talkies?
Hi, cant read or write walkie.
I try whith a couple of cables and obtain communication error ! can you help me? tanks
hi is there a link for the program software for pmr?👍🏿
Maybe they are trying to sound/look like Kirisun Radio
Can you send me the english manual? I bought 2 it comes with Chinese manual. Website registration is not working when I tried to download the manual.
Will these do GMSR?
What are the frequency numbers per channel?
grande
Which small radio do you think is better, the KSUN X-M6 or the Retevis RB615? Is one easier to programme or transmits more strongly? Thanks.
Follow. Same question.
Yes, how it compare to RB615?
Ksun for 3 reasons. 1-volume knob and 2-6 watt power and 3-battery, 4000 mla. No questions asked
Pobrałem program do zmiany częstotliwości z linku pod filmem . Program działa lecz zaokrągla częstotliwości zamiast 446,00625MHz zapisuje 446,00600MHz i nie pozwala co 25. Niestety nie mogę wejść w pasmo PMR EU
Próbowałem również z programem chrip ale nie ma tego producenta i też nic z tego nie wyszło. W tym momencie to zabawka tylko dla dzieci bo nie mogę się komunikować na ogólnym paśmie 😢
Cheap as chips - it has never been less expensive to get into the hobby!
are these waterproof?
hi can i get the programming software from you tnx pls i can't seem to register from their site.
I've managed to get the WLT2000 program; will the standard BAOFENG Programming Cable work or do I need a special one? I'd be most grateful for your help ... a super looking radio! Hugh G1WYP
Table channels?
🖖 👍
Hi @knoxieman. Great review of these little KSUNs. Could I ask for your help in getting the programming software to read my walkie talkie? I'm actually trying to program a KSUN X30-TFSI which I think was the X6's predecessor. However, after plugging in the programming cable and waiting for the driver to install (it chose the Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port driver), the system assigned Comm Port 3 and when I select that port in the software you kindly provided, then click 'Read' all I get is a pop-up window saying "Communication error!". I using a Windows 7 laptop as I was told by the vendor that this is the only OS the software would work on, but I've tried it on Windows 10 and XP Pro as well with the same results. Any advice would be gratefully received! Cheers
Got the same problem, any solution? I noticed that the cable once WORKED for some time then i plugged other and its not working
Hi, go to the miklor website, go to the drivers section and read the part about prolific drivers, you need to download the old driver off the link there and install it on your pc, check in device manager it's using the old driver, you might also have to re boot first, this should fix the problem, every time Windows does an update it will change it back though so next time you program the radio you may have to do it again first, if you have lots of different radios and you use chirp to program them by a 2 pin mic ear cable then pay a bit more money for an FTDI chipset cable, you won't have this issue then, hope that this helps, sorry I can't put html links in here or the comment gets deleted.
@@szolekxxx I'm very jealous you even managed to get it to work ONCE! Do you recall which OS you were using and the driver make and version you were using, plus COM port number?
@@timboid2006 i can connect! And even program them but can't do everything. Windows 11, soft from the link and cable com3 or 4 depends on usb port
@@timboid2006 but what knoxieman tells didn't work for me, i used soft from the link in the description
I have had really poor reception (all garbled, cutting in and out) with Retevis while trying to communicate with someone driving barely 50 ft. in front of me, both vehicles going around ~100km/h. It was maybe doppler shift but I expected the radio to perform. which of these little radios that is programmable that you recommend?
has nothing to do with doppler
Does it use the same programming cable as the UV5R?
Yes
@@knoxieman thanks. It looks like a great radio. . My buy two to replace my RT22 retevis ones .
I see Chirp doesn’t support it, but it may well be an existing radio rebranded if anyone knows?
It will support it soon
@@knoxieman Good to know, thanks!
Hi, thanks for your review
I have used your supplied download link and tried to program my radios, but I cannot choose PMR446 frequencies on the TX side (Rx seem to accept them). Anyone succeeded?
Same problem for me, any solution appeared for you?
@@hibouhibou1027 Yeah, I succeeded but, honestly, I can't remember what was the problem. After trying 3 or 4 times it finally went through...
How do the Chinese get away with lying so consistently about battery capacity and output power and still expect us to believe the other specifications? Also, they would not be legal on 446 and wildly illegal on LPD 433.
Well I think they all do it now and we have all stopped believing it anyway and just buy the radio based on how it looks most of the time, well I do anyway lol, I liked the look of this one, quite unique looking and it works well for what it is.
Ksun pointed me to a file transfer site to download an M6_Writing.exe file. Windows stops it from running, warns me. Question: Can it be programmed without the software?
firewall
A cuántos kilómetros alcanza
where you can download this program to the radio?
drive.google.com/file/d/1gfKyVyQDzSgYyXhngsq57oj5jhPpZ6m1/view?pli=1
can I use this without a ham license? like a regular walkie talkiie?
Yes
Can anyone direct me to an English operators manual for the M6?, the website seems to be inoperable.
were you able to source a manual, if not, let me know.
Hi I work on a cherry orched. would the ksun x m6 work around trees at a distance of 3 kilometers.
That might be a push because of the antenna and the limited power, it's borderline
Can it be programmed using CHIRP?
No
Does this radio have a lock button to prevent accidentally changing channels?
yes
Thanks for the response.
Would you mind describing where/which button?
I haven’t been able to find any examples or documentation of a lock button on this radio.
How to you get these radios to communicate with other brands of radio???
They are programmable via the software, he included it in the description. But it seems you have to have the programming cable (usb -> mic + speaker)
@@LuisAPeregrina Thank you!
Can you suggest where I might download the software please?
Miklor - thanks! Roll on CHIRP!
I've managed to get the WLT2000 s/w but struggling to get comms with a standard BAOFENG cable ...
I now have the official KSUN S/W
Where can I find the programming software for this radio
Here! drive.google.com/file/d/1gfKyVyQDzSgYyXhngsq57oj5jhPpZ6m1/view?pli=1
Me too!
Can it be programmed without a computer?
No
@@knoxieman that's a pitty. Thanks for your reply.
you guys can let your govts tell you which radio to use, but im not planning on carrying a different radio for every license i have. not gonna carry 3+ radios around to talk on because the govt says i need a separate radio for all the different radio services... amateur, gmrs, frs, murs and whoever else they throw in there (cb ?). its beyond stupid to Have to carry a separate radio for every service.
You sir are absolutely right!!! Go after the people that use profanity, jammers, that have no respect for others on the radio..your response says it all.. 👍🏼
Why No Baofeng T8 in the comparison
I don't have them any more gave them away as a gift.
It may look OK and perform OK, but it still comes from China, therefore it's off my list. Sorry.
Thanks for reviewing anyway.
@Archie As long as I have a choice, I will make a choice, regardless of the price. Better for the local economy, better for the environment too.
@Archie Even my Covid masks are made in Germany. And believe me, it was very hard to find a company that really produces the masks in Germany. Yes, I keep buying local, and I avoid import. You should give it a try.
@It_Me_Archie For real poeople KILL me when they make comments like this,
Prosím o odkaz na program.soft. Nikde jej nemohu najít. Děkuji.
Is this real 6 w power? Or under?
