    So I've made a dipole antenna for my Quansheng. A centre, then a wound toroid, and two telescopic attached. Aircraft range for me in North Yorkshire, right across UK, also craft seeking clearance to land at Schiphol recently. I can use antenna to cover vertical and horizontal,and have one shorter to make a sort of J-Pole effect. These little radios are cracking fun. 126.575/600 N.London weather, usually a great benchmark frequency.

    TY, this is a much easier way for scanning AM, however I have never figured out how to TX with the .22 firmware,, so I just play with the scanning then reload a firmware that can TX. Maybe someday i will figure out python.......

    Hi Fred great video, I just wanted to pick your brain, I have a 32 ft mast that is guy roped , if I put up a Sirio 827 can I guy rope directly to the antenna if I nylon rope , or will it effect the antenna when the nylon gets wet , keep up the good work ade Sheffield

      I think the main difference is that the UV-K5 is modable with firmware updates.

    Amazon sells a 2w, 8ohm speaker. It is easy to install. There is a RUclips video by “the lonesome tech”, with an informative install. He’s all thumbs and ham-fisted, but he gets it done.
