On a random frequency in the VHF or HF band (usually in the 18–80 MHz range), you can hear an FM station. Is there any way to fix this? So that this radio can properly receive low‑band and short‑wave signals.
I’ve just bought the Quansheng UV K-5(8) and want to get into playing around with the extra features from updated firmware and some of the modifications I’ve seen online. First of all I’m trying to get some of the frequencies I’ve got saved into a Uniden UBC125XLTC onto the Quansheng. I guess it’s relatively straightforward but being new to the type I’m struggling to get my head around even the basics!
I have managed to get the Quansheng connected to my PC using Chirp and done a backup of the data showing me the format of the few frequencies it’s got stored in a file labelled “UK Business Radio Simple Light Frequencies.csv”. I’ve also managed to sync the Uniden using RRUK UBC125XLT Programmer 1.0.5. Most of the frequencies I’ve backed up are ones I’ve entered manually over the past year or so and some are ones I’ve loaded from RRUK.
I’ve coped these into a new Excel file and saved it as a .csv, now I’m no expert with Excel… in fact through my whole working life it literally gave me the screaming shivers!
What I was expecting to do was select the data column by column and paste it into the Chirp file in the same order as came off the Quansheng. Try as I might, I can’t get the copies to paste! Additionally there are columns of data that the Uniden doesn’t have (like Power, Tuning Step and many more that are simply not populated in the Quansheng file, but as they aren’t in that I guess they just aren’t necessary?
My other major issue is actually going to be working the thing… I have tried reading the manual (which appears to have been written by someone who might have seen their only English speaker from a distance passing on a train!), needless to say it resembles English but not a form I’m familiar with! Has anyone actually gone to the trouble of writing a manual that is more easily understood? Possibly taking account of the various updates and or the hacks that have proliferated?
Hello, what should I do if my Quansheng UV-K5 (8) it only turns on after 10-30 attempts?
I was experimenting with the firmware and found out that you can actually rx as low as ~2 MHz and as high as ~1927 MHz? Does BK4819 actually receive something there or is it just noise? I could see some peaks as far as 1880 mhz
Hello to all
Ive been trying to read about this radio and i have some questions
Im a newbie pilot i would like to get a hand held radio to listen to air band and eventually to talk. So RX and TX in air band between 108.000 MHz and 137.000 MHz
Is this radio able to? with MOD software?
How is it to program?
Thank you all
