I'm new to these radios, even though I was once an electronics engineer (retired now at 70). I have watch several of your videos now and decided to buy a Quansheng radio, already having some great fun with it and it's all due to you! I will keep on watching and learning, thank you very much Fred. Power to you! Regards John.
I just got my UV-K5 8 - and flashed it with Egzumer - thanks to your videos I understand this little radio (scanner to me) much better now ! Greetings Jens
Top how to video very very helpful. Maybe do one for IJY 3.13 fw some time ? The new hardware mod is even more mind blowing and beyond me to do it unfortunately
I flashed my radio with Egzumer last night successfully but I’m not sure if it’s just phsyco acoustics but it seems the quality of the sound is much better.
I accessed the "hidden menu" Very interesting, and allows full spectrum TX... not particularly a wise decision if you dont know what you're doing Lol!! I did it just to have a play about, and then reverted it back to the basic "safer" TX options. I might get another and try the Hardware physical mod for full HF TX If I brick it, at least I'll have a spare battery, antenna and charger 😂
Thanks for posting this video! I recently bought a pair of UV-K5(8) HTs and after much studying, I'm leaning toward the Egzumer upgrade... I will surely check out your suggested vid... 73 KN4KZT
Just one thing not sure if anyone had this issue I was following this to the letter and the scan wasn’t working and it was because I had the squelch on 0 so it was basically stopping straight away on the first step
Most helpful, thanks! i have the Quanshen-Plus version, but it works the same, just got it, seems like a good radio - 73 Levi in Sweden - (i subbed your channel too)
I’ve been looking around, haven’t had much time since flashing to ezumer but has anyone written a step by step guide to explain what you did in this video? Thanks.
Greetings from NZ Fred, I have a Quansheng UV-5r plus,I cannot program the scan range? I enter frequency s and press 5. The no 5 comes up on the bottom part of the screen.?any ideas?
can you help i have a data lead from about 7 years ago but can not connect via usb it can not find my device i bought the radio 2 days ago do i need a new data lead or is there something im not doing right lol
I'm struggling. Everything on mine works as seen in the vid, except when I hold down scan it doesn't scan through th3 channels as the video shows. It just says scanning but doesnt seem to be doing anything
I have retevis model and flashed the egzumer firmware , all good but found when checking power out that from 424.5-434.5 mhz there is no output of rf yet it says it is txing. Go above 434.5 and power out is 5.1 watts. If you drop the power to medium then this strange behaviour goes away , tried all the resets , configured, calibrations etc nothing changes. Flash the original k5 factory firmware and the problem goes away ......any ideas ?
Ok does the radio have to be modded to make this work when I hold the 5 key down all it does is change the frequency of I try to long press the 2 key it just changes the frequency I have to hit through F and then the 2 key to get it to change between the a&b . If I hit the f and 5 it does something different the what you are showing
New to this one so forgive the question. Can you scan between set channels in memory mode? If so is it as simple as leaving the higher and lower frequencies in memory mode and set, say m1 on the low and m7 on the high ? Great videos. Btw 👍🏻
Erm, so past 3 months ive just been pressing alsorts to get a nose, finally found your page, im trying to follow what your doing here, but mine does show or do same as what yours is doing, ive checked sticker on the rear and say it is the same unit. Think i need to rest it, but not sure on how to do this, but i wanting to learn how to make signal boosters, little solar panel then i can leave them at family houses and make a pretty good signal,
Maybe you can help. I'm curious on something. I am a licensed ham and I mostly do HF stuff. My current antenna is a ZS6BKW. If I connect my quansheng to this antenna will it receive CB band signals? May be a dumb question but I rarely venture out of the HF band.
It only tunes down to 17 KHz so you dont really get much ham radio. For CB you could try a mobile antenna or a SMA 27 MHZ telescopic whip. Search on ebay.
Great video like always Fred, Quansheng UV-K5 or UV-K6, I already have the UV-K5 with egzumer loaded is it worth buying the new model or should i just mod this one ?

Noted
so far you've put out the most informative and easy to understand vids on you tube, really really appreciate it, thank you!
Thanks.
Nice fred keep the cb alive 🎉
Detailed video thanks. Just bought using your link . Looking forward to using as a scanner!
Frid in the shed your UA-cam videos are awesome my friend
Oh brilliant. Ive been wondering about this, Cheers. Love your work.

Thank you for working this out and sharing it !!!
The best explanation yet. Thanks!
You're welcome!

Any luck on your adventure ?
You can't brick them lol u just reroll the firmware
Frid in the shed I learn lot from you about cb radios and how to hook up power supply to cb radio and antenna for cb radios my friend
Hi thanks. Hope your keeping well bud.
Nice, this video helps ALOT !! Thanks man !
You can take the step down from 25 to 0.5 just press the VOX button 7
thanks for sharing this. it's easy once you know
Top1 fred this has helped me alot thanks

It's only a matter of time until this radio gets a full colour OLED screen....
That would be amazing!
Not so sure. Trouble with colour screens is that they dont stay on all the time unless you drain the battery.
OLED is fine if you like burn in after a week of use.
I’ve been looking around, haven’t had much time since flashing to ezumer but has anyone written a step by step guide to explain what you did in this video? Thanks.

@@CB-RADIO-UK Thank you.
Nice one Fred .. didn't have a clue it had this feature:-)
Wow, thanks! This little guy is a bit complicated with the new firmware.
Thank you very mucho! Dö you know what steps needed to listen to airband in Sweden? Love this kittel Radioking.
Hi. I would guess 6.75 MHz bit not 100%
@CB-RADIO-UK Seems right, thanks*
Many thanks!!!
Greetings from NZ Fred, I have a Quansheng UV-5r plus,I cannot program the scan range? I enter frequency s and press 5. The no 5 comes up on the bottom part of the screen.?any ideas?
Hi. I am assuming you have flashed it with Egzumer V0.22 ?
No haven't done that
Thanks Fred have ordered a cable
can you help i have a data lead from about 7 years ago but can not connect via usb it can not find my device i bought the radio 2 days ago do i need a new data lead or is there something im not doing right lol
Hi try this guide for setting up the lead with a proper driver. ua-cam.com/video/nlLaNIq6nBo/v-deo.html
I'm struggling. Everything on mine works as seen in the vid, except when I hold down scan it doesn't scan through th3 channels as the video shows. It just says scanning but doesnt seem to be doing anything
I have the same, perhaps because we do not have it flashed with the egzumer firmware?
Thanks Gaz

Hi. Looks like you have found a glitch with the software. No ideas myself as not tried those freqs. Thanks for sharing the info.
how do we lower the squelch line in the spectrum display,or change its direction?.
Scan key to raise F key to lower.
Can someone help me, when I get to the hold down number 5 step it’s just putting in the number 5 as the frequency and nothing is popping up
Assuming you are running Egzumer ?
followed exactly but holding 5 does not bring up the scanning bit
Have you flashed the firmware
@@CB-RADIO-UK yes, got some one with a pc and a bit more knowledge than me to do it !
Very nice video! Thank you!
Quick question: what is the antenna setup you used in the video?
Hi. An outside Antron 99 shown briefly in this video. ua-cam.com/video/fKrwG7JmT7c/v-deo.html
Hi great video a quick question about scanning when it stops on someone talking can i directly save it memory cheers 🍻
Yes you can.
@@CB-RADIO-UK how lol 👍👍👍
In the menus. I ve not tested it but it will be there.
@@CB-RADIO-UK thank you 😊

If I hit the f and 5 it does something different the what you are showing
Yes the radio needs to be running Egzumer. ua-cam.com/video/xmdqjA02NQc/v-deo.html
for me to listen to cb, would I need a cb antenna? will my nagoyia 771 not work on cb freqs?
Cb antenna will work better.
Can i get the cb on the retevis ra79 r
You can receive when flashed with Egzumer and a CB antenna.
I have a quansheng TG-UVSPLUS,can the scanning range be set the same way,and do I have to download anything beforehand?
You will need Egzumer 0.22. ua-cam.com/video/xmdqjA02NQc/v-deo.html
Thanks for the tips. It's help me a lot. 😹🙏🏻

No i dont think you can. Only a full memory channel scan or freq range scanning.
Erm, so past 3 months ive just been pressing alsorts to get a nose, finally found your page, im trying to follow what your doing here, but mine does show or do same as what yours is doing, ive checked sticker on the rear and say it is the same unit. Think i need to rest it, but not sure on how to do this, but i wanting to learn how to make signal boosters, little solar panel then i can leave them at family houses and make a pretty good signal,
Have you upgraded it to Egzumer firmware.
@@CB-RADIO-UK hi, thanks for the reply, no i haven't, zero experience in this, i'm just settling down now to your channel.
Is it possible to save the found frequencies automatically?
No i dont think it is.
Maybe you can help. I'm curious on something. I am a licensed ham and I mostly do HF stuff. My current antenna is a ZS6BKW. If I connect my quansheng to this antenna will it receive CB band signals? May be a dumb question but I rarely venture out of the HF band.
Hi. You would need to check the tuning range on your dipole antenna. As I am not a ham I am not sure but it needs to cover the 27 MHz band.
Anyone know how to “lockout” a channel on this radio?
Anyone ?
Hi fred great video as always could you just flash the the radio with egzumer with out deleting the ham bands that it comes with
Not 100% sure as mine came with just random test freqs. I did keep the 16 pmr channels i had programmed.
Can you advise what type antenna you use to pick up HFfon this radio? Got one coming in tomorrow but no antenna for HF yet?
It only tunes down to 17 KHz so you dont really get much ham radio. For CB you could try a mobile antenna or a SMA 27 MHZ telescopic whip. Search on ebay.
Forgive my ignorance Fred but how do you input frequencies above 999.999mhz?
No afraid not. Cannot think what would be up there anyway.
Do you know how to get NOAA weather alerts after the Egzumer update?
Sorry cannot test NOAA in the UK.
U may aswell activate NOAA and add frequencies in them as shortcuts so u have more memory banks
When you have it at 115 .000 you have AM H . On mine i have H with no AM . How do i change it to AM ?
Thanks
Hi to change the mode Its called DEMOD in the menu options.
@@CB-RADIO-UK ok thanks.
Thanks for this. Will this work exactly with the 99 model too?
Hi not sure what the 99 model is ?
@@CB-RADIO-UK Is it a bad radio? or not supposed to post links or something else
Its an interesting radio that you mod. There is a whole playlist on the channel for Quansheng radios.
Great video like always Fred, Quansheng UV-K5 or UV-K6, I already have the UV-K5 with egzumer loaded is it worth buying the new model or should i just mod this one ?
Frid in the shed my hobbies are painting pictures and listening to shortwave and ssb iam thinking about getting my Grms license
Thank you!!!
