Let's Take a Look at the Quansheng UV-K6

In this video, I share my interest in my new Quansheng UV-K6. I am still in the process of learning all of the features this cheap radio has to offer. I plan on sharing more about it as I learn more. I am sure there are many other videos out there that will give more in depth views on it and how-to’s.
I realize I call it a UV-K5 in the video, and it can get confusing on Amazon because they are called both. With a little research, you will quickly be able to distinguish the two. The actual uv k5 looks a lot different and has a “white” backlight and the K6 has a orange backlight.
Also note: The radios I ordered did not come with a programming cable, but the standard Baofeng cable works fine…
Here is the link to the Egzumer V 0.21 firmware that you can flash to open it up to do way more!

Here are a couple links to Amazon for the radios. (There are a Few different color/ styles.)

It is totally up to you if you want to order this radio. I just intended to share my thought on it.
Thanks to everyone who supports this modest channel and I hope if anything, you get some laughter out of my silliness!
If you have any questions, feel free to comment and I will do my best to help or steer you in the right direction.
P.S. Sorry for the audio instability. Trying out new things... Bare with me!
Thanks for watching and until the next time,
73!

It's definitely a radio that is inspiring new users. Lets hope enough people get them to local chatter. Also look into IJV ver 3 firmware, that can also be flashed. Also backup your radio's core calibration setting with K5prog, since it's new.

Thanks Clay, just flashed all four of my Shangs!!! that was TOO easy-----WOW, ! VE7RKJ.

I think the stock firm ware has a battery percentage. You can find that on the menu, you can also change that to volt battery too.

[@ClassicClay104]

That's very good to know! I'll be honest, I didn't play much with the original firmware before downloading the egzumer file. Thanks for watching!

*huge* apparently this particular model could TX on CB correctly, but I'm skeptical. I only found one testing it on CB and the UV-K6 output was a decent 4watts contrary to the other models?

[@ClassicClay104]

It will tx on it if you unlock it. I don't know for sure how much power it would actually transmit. I have heard the spurs are bad when tx in 11 or 10m.
