    What would be the reaction if Hams used 11m legally using their calls.

    Am has become an afterthought on the ham bands, at least below 160 anyway. I have an old Gates broadcast transmitter that someday I will get set up on 160. Outside of that, I have no use for AM

    The Anytone and KW 140 would be close, the 140 is entry-level gear. I will agree on the build quality though. The 140 is 30+ years old I am guessing and I don't believe the Anytone will work for 30 years.

    Honesty I would never buy any of the "exports", most are of poor quality (even the aforementioned Anytone). Get a ham rig, it will run circles around most if not all exports unless its the big over driven am sound someone wants and for them just get a 29.

    I am a ham that no longer users 11 meters, I don't hate it I just don't like what it has become especially here in Chivcago. What I do find sad is no quality radios are being produced for the band anymore. I know the Anytime 6666 is a great radio but its not a cb.

    Yeah, it can bog someone down, that means you are not ready. Please don't push it.

    Home Quansheng UV-K5 Full Band HD Modification

    All these mods are for RX only, the RF components are not there for TX. The radio is extremely dirty TXing out of band.

    I believe he has a pre-production unit so there could be a lot of differences.

    Short Review - Anysecu / Quansheng UV-K5

    Yes I have two now, one running Stained and the other IJV. Even with the FW mods the AM Air and RX is still Crap compared to other radios I have.

    Quansheng UV K5

    Yes I did some what, and to a certain extent I still am. If you take the FW upgrade out of the equation they are very poor radios compared to other Chinese variations. It's my opinion that Baofeng is the bottom of the barrel with the Quansheng K5 only slightly better. There is some proof out...

    Quansheng UV K5

    I have two now, one is currently running Egzumer 0.22 and the other is running IJV .29r3. They are neat little radios.

    Baofeng UV-21R/Pro HT

    I have one and consider it to be one of the worst one I have. I like the size and it feels nice in the hand but the TX audio quality is extremely muffled. I might drill out the mic hole but the audio is still muffed with an external mic. Maybe I have a dud but I have many other Chinese HTs that...
