    The Lee guy that developed the firmware for this hardware mod, maybe able to also release a 999 channel version for those that do the memory upgrade? Don't ya love the Quansheng UV K series.

    very nice firmware demo, but the finest tuning step is only 1khz? Hopefully he will add fine tune function with 100/10/1 hz steps, for comfortable listening

    Well there you go it works…yeah i was a bit disappointed with the display time out on HF as it is currently used as a bedside receiver, maybe i should look into making it permanently on. For those links i used trusty Kynar wire with my old simple Antex X25 iron which has been to the moon and back. I actually bought a new Weller solder station a few weeks back on the Amazon spring sale event but i have yet to try it or should i say even look at it. 😂

    I just finished mine, there are three settings when you scroll through upper and lower sideband, theres one labelled cw or something... not sure what that is. Now just to make a half decent mag loop or something. Cant figure out which antenna design i want to commit to trying to build but im leaning towards a mag loop.

      CW mode is 'continuous wave' for morse code. Good luck with your antenna project! Thanks for watching 👍

    • @m7frs272
      @m7frs272  3 месяца назад +2

      It's OK but not as good as dedicated HF set. Maybe I'll see if I can do a comparison between the Quansheng and either the Xiegu G90 or the Icom IC7300 🤔

    What does the BFO Setting do? I've been listening to various frequencies but changing the BFO doesn't do anything.

    • @m7frs272
      @m7frs272  2 месяца назад

      BFO is the 'beat frequency oscillator' which allows you to fine tune differences between the transmitter and receiver.

    • @m7frs272
      @m7frs272  29 дней назад

      That depends on what firmware your using but it's usually 'demodulator' in the menu and you can switch between modes. Thanks for watching, please see my other videos for more information: ruclips.net/p/PLXMfFSysu4iw5AGEOeiiKB09-MI5DWmyn&si=ej5NHx-lkj_jN-fc

      Are you using Firmware version 0.41HF or 0.5HF? It sounds like you may have a loose connection. Have you ever had it working? I've had it where one of the link wire hasn't been connected properly. If you're using Version 0.5HF the screen will get stuck on 'WAIT' if its not connected.
