  • I picked up a UV K5 8 from Ali express for £8.50 with free shipping. It's crazy. You can always just set to TX disabled and use the radio as a basic scanner.

    • @@zer7637 From what I can tell the k5's have better build quality, better sound quality, cleaner transmissions (on unmodded frequencies) and the firmware has better moddability I think. A much better radio for basically the same price.

  • Received my UV-K6 about a week ago. Spent several days playing with the original firmware, but I just couldn't get past the terrible AM reception (air band), so last night I got up the nerve to load egzumer v0.22. WOW! AM reception is now all good. It appears egzumer changed the gain distribution and that did the trick. Same thing happened to Elecraft when they introduced the KX3. I am really impressed now. Best "less than $30 USD" I have ever spent. Still exploring scanning, band scope, etc.

I got my radio a couple of days ago and want to get back into it again now I’m older. I thought I’ll get a radio and see if I still want to get it, and I do! Your vids are awesome too, thank you for taking the time to make them. I’m also working my way through them. Thank you 🙂
