<rant> Why oh why do HT reviews never show the spectrum output? I'd love a HT that could do full duplex for sat work but not if I jam all the aircraft in my flight path. </rant>
They all concentrate on usability and "features" and I bet none of them pass FCC regs at least. Oh they are selling to preppers and paint ball groups and hikers! Not hams! MY MISTAKE!

I just got my Quansheng TK-11 in the mail today. Initial thoughts that aren’t covered in any unboxing videos:

There was a power adapter taped to the inner box. The charging dock has an Asian power plug. Fortunately, I can charge it via USB-C.

This isn’t as heavy as my Motorola XTS 1500, but this has enough heft to be used as a bludgeoning weapon.

I love the circular lanyard connector!

I hate how fragile the rubber port covers are.

The T-shaped antenna is meant for the LF/MF/HF bands, but it has “0.153-18 MHz” stamped on it, so you won’t need it for anything about 17 meters. Set it aside. The rubber duck is very long.

On that note, you do know this can only transmit FM, right? You read the website before clicking Buy, didn’t you? That limits you to 10 meters and up.

It can receive CW on 2200 meters. Fat lot of good that does when you can’t transmit that low.

If you had told me this is my UV-K5 with the Ezgumer firmware, I would have believed you. It’s virtually identical, down to the fonts and screen layout. The blue backlight is your only clue.

Dear lord, the CPS is awful. It’s perfectly cromulent, but it’s missing simple things like copy and paste. That means if you want to insert a channel, you need to edit every single one below that.

The radio can receive on 33 cm and maybe 23 cm, but the CPS won’t let you program frequencies above 600 MHz.

Someone opened a ticket with CHIRP to support this model. They’re working on it. GOOD!

No programming cable is included, but your Baofeng one works fine.

Nothing like a Chinese-to-North American power adapter taped to the box to inspire confidence. A white AC plug adapter is stuck to a cardboard box using packing tape. Fortunately, the device in the box can charge with USB-C, so I don’t need to use this.

oh yeah the other thing I did as part of today's Tesla Takedown protest

I finally took along the HT - handheld shortwave transmitter - using the parts I made to hook it to my bike:

thingiverse.com/thing:7027125

kinda scary at first because of hard bumps making me worried about jarring the radio badly, then I remembered "oh right I can engage the fork suspension" and after that everything was pretty great! Being on the handlebars, the radio and holder get the full benefit of the suspension so it gets a super smooth ride.

I didn't really try to use the radio, tho', being busy with the protest. I did some scanning but didn't really pick up much. maybe next time?

Last week, we visited Genova, here in Italy. While tuning into the local frequency 📻 with my portable Quansheng UV-K5, I managed to make contact with Fabio #F5VKV from France! It still amazes me every time I make a cross-border contact with just a handheld. 🌍

The image shows a handheld two-way radio or walkie-talkie device made by Quansheng. It has a black and orange/yellow color scheme. The device features a small LCD display screen at the top, with a long black antenna extending from the top. Below the screen are various control buttons including a numeric keypad (0-9) and function buttons. The radio appears to be sitting on what looks like a textured surface with a leopard-print or spotted pattern in gray and black colors. The device has a rugged, professional appearance typical of commercial or emergency communication radios.

What guidelines is anyone aware of about using #GMRS or #FRS #ht #radios at #protests vs. #cellphones ? The media has reported that the #insurrectionists used them. What about us? slate.com/technology/2022/06/f

wo, i wish there is someone here in #Italy that can create an #Allstarlink node that i can connect my cheap quansheng #UVK5 on. if anyone knows, i am on a budget so looking for as cheap as possible. i just wanted to talk to english speaking people using my #HT #Radio. using a mobile phone in DVSwitch feels unnatural. #BlindHam #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #DY1AJD
