    Translation of the Brazilian part:
    -Because the one in the back doesn't have a fender, It's only half the fender and it gets everything wet
    -That part there...
    -Are you crazy! (This is a literal translation of a slang that means something like "it's complicated")
    -Here, just open the tarpaulins and check the chains When there is no way, we work on what God gives us, right? I wouldn't complain either, the commander of my life is God!

    One of the reasons (not the only one...) why that happens is that actually it seems there is a portion of 250-300Mhz that is legal for on-road communication in Brazil. Not everything you hear in there is illegal use, simply legal comms that are "bleeding" into the satellite. There are a couple of youtube videos explaining this phenomenon.

    Hi, Paul. Yes, You're right about AM avia. The point is that beken chip can't work in AM, but chinese guys are very tricky, so they adopted fsk mode for AM reception. But there no AGC for that, so when You're receiving strong AM signals - K5 is barking. It is quite ok with weak or medium signals. On CB with it's poor sensitivity it works good

    It is a really lovely radio considering the price. The fact that it has a way of loading hacked firmware makes this an ideal test device. Receiving up to 850Mhz in AM (Dedicated firmware) is a game-changer. Lots of military air frequencies in the upper bands. This device has that option, the quality isn't excellent but hey, Uniden costs a lot more.

      Yes, I am aware that it is SDR radio, therefore I believe they could improve AM software demodulation in the firmware. Small SDR dongles receives AM without any problem and they also don't have real AM demodulator 😉 Or if somebody smart could hack the firmware and improve it.

    I bought it too, but I have to say that there are miles between a Yaesu and a Quansheng, not only in terms of price but also in terms of transmission and reception quality. For example, I use my Quangsheng at the sea and everywhere where I just don't want to take my Yaesu with me. The flight radio receiver is completely unusable.

    Hi, very interesting, thanks. On my own UVK5 the AM is *a little bit* better but the on SATCOM band, it's completely deaf! I need a specific antenna just to hear anything. I find that AM in "Narrow" bandwidth setting is a bit clearer but maybe that's just in my head. If it's not indiscrete, in which Aliexpress shop did you buy yours? I'm not sure whether some discount shops sell the 2nd quality/defective TRX's rejected by bigger companies as they do with components or is it just a global quality control issue at the factory...

    • @OM0ET
      @OM0ET  Год назад +3

      I think the AM issue is in all those radios. All reviews I have seen was the same - poor AM reception. I guess it has something to do with poorly set or designed AGC system on the circuit or DPS. Or it's just an issue of a current firmware and the next update would fix this.
