    Bought a UV-K5 a few months ago, and finally pulled it out and did the mod. For 30 bucks, this thing is pretty cool. Thanks for the video.

    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.

      Buy the K5 (8) and put the 5plus battery on it (you have to trim a sliver of plastic
      from the top edge of the 5plus battery) then either battery will fit either radios

    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.

    Hey friend. Could you post a link for where you start to apply for your license please? I’m right at the point of starting that process now. 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 🙂
