Yuh ok.. so i’ve got new radios. I’ve had my yaesu for a while now but i needed some cheaper *beate-up-able* more field radios that i can take everywhere without worry of damaging the electronics or battery to weather or a hot car. Whatever, they’re burner handies.
oh there’s one you should take note of… thats a quansheng uv-k5(8) running an openable chipset. with a little modification it can recieve from 18 - 1300 MHz
Now it’s filtering out of band is pretty poor but the hackable nature of the radio allows for so much!
Alright; From left to right we’ve got a
- Baofeng uv-5r with a dualband SignalStuff SingalStick antenna
- Quansheng uv-k5(8) with a dualband Diamond SRJ77CA antenna
- Yaesu FT-65 with a dualband SignalStuff SingalStick antenna
Honestly now i’ve heard that the transmit on the quansheng is a little noisey so im exclusivly using it as a reciever only. So i’ve got a cheap talker and a decent talker as well. Good enough for now.
BYE
