Mind you, most of your objections are solvable in the menu... you can ajust your squelch there. My solution was putting it down to 1. Only if you need to listen to a very week station, you press button 1. Rx starts immediately...
Thank you for your kind comment 🙏 Any walkie-talkie can communicate with any other walkie-talkie (with few exceptions), set both on the same frequency, ideally on the amateur frequency and you're good to go. I have a video explaining the basics and how to use any walkie-talkie. ruclips.net/video/R04wQMIZMmA/видео.html
Click M button (Menu), scroll up or down until you find menu 21 named "voice", click M again to enter or confirm, you will have 3 options "Chinese, English, Off", usually if you click down one time, it will choose English, press M to confirm, it should now be in English. Jope this helps.
It's below the available frequency on this radio. It's doable with some thinkering, but the harmonics are terrible, and it might be illegal depending on your state and location. Here's a video explaining how to do it. m.ruclips.net/video/uuQFFNW5l0g/видео.html
... switching on while pressing PTT will set the device in firmware flashing mode... If you want to connect a PC to the device to change some settings for example, simply switch the device on and put the cable in...
Very nice, you probably should do a tutorial on a custom firmware, since it makes this 5/10 radio into a 10/10 especially usability, not having to press function for everything
Hey Plenus, I appreciate the feedback. That sounds good to me. I'm interested in the firmware that shows spectrum, I'm not sure if there's a firmware that combines both.
F3 only lets me change the channel number of a pre programmed channel set. What am I noobing wrong? Edit: F5 is frequency mode on mine, which is weird because mine is the same age as his and same region!
To reset to factory settings: Press Menu key to enter Menu Selection. Press Up/Down Key to select Menu No., select No. 51 (Reset) and press MENU Key to confirm the selection; Press EXIT Key to return to Upper Menu. Long press EXIT key to return to main page. Bear in mind that this will restore to original factory settings. If you only deleted a channel, you can only retrieve said channel if you know the frequency. You have the option of scanning or, using a software frequency scanning on your computer and search/scan around the lost frequency, scanning on a computer gives you a visual graph making easier to spot popular or even weak frequencies. I hope this helps.
Excellent vidéo. Quick question: for the alpine area between Switzerland, France and Italy, if you want to be able to call the rescue, you need to program a VHF radio for the E(mergency) chanel 161.300 MHz and also to set the 5 tons ZVEI2. Do you know if these two things are possible with the Quansheng UV-K5(8)? Thanks
Great video! Just received my Quansheng UVK5 8 from AliExpress and been a complete newby to amateur radio really appreciated your link to a more detailed instruction manual. Thank you

Thank you very much, it's a very professional presentation 🙏
I have one question - how can I pair and use as a walkie talkie two uv-k6 devices ....
Thank you for your kind comment 🙏

Thanks a lot for yr quick response 🙂
Pleasure 🙏
Can anyone tell me how to change the menu text from Chinese to English?
Click M button (Menu), scroll up or down until you find menu 21 named "voice", click M again to enter or confirm, you will have 3 options "Chinese, English, Off", usually if you click down one time, it will choose English, press M to confirm, it should now be in English. Jope this helps.
@@RandomTeq thanks for replying, I did do that and it changed the voice responses to English. However the actual text is still in Chinese.
I should watch your video before returning mine. Thanks anyway!
I appreciate you 🙏
Not too late to pick up where you left.
Thank you, clear and concise. Like many others ...... I'm just about to order one.
Thank you so much Wolfy 💓
Thank you for your work. I have the same radio, how do I set 19 27.185 MHz Recommended truckers channel (FM)
It's below the available frequency on this radio. It's doable with some thinkering, but the harmonics are terrible, and it might be illegal depending on your state and location.
Here's a video explaining how to do it.

That's correct. Thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks for the video! Do you know how to change the display to show names and no frequencies? Thanks in advance!
It's possible, but not on the factory firmware. You need to flash a new firmware from Github.
Very nice, you probably should do a tutorial on a custom firmware, since it makes this 5/10 radio into a 10/10 especially usability, not having to press function for everything

@@RandomTeq same thing I thought so I just went and bought two, because y'know...cheap cheap
I can't argue with that 🙂. 23 USD is an insane deal. I bet if it had a bigger brand name, they would have sold it for 3 times as much.
It's really easy there's about 100 video showing..on here

F5 is NOAA on my unit, what's printed on your unit?
