Joined the #quansheng gang as of today. Plan is to start with #uvk5cec firmware. I have the #uvk6 ... looking forward to trying #SSB (er, #dsb) and digital modes.

Took my Quansheng on an activation this morning. Made an 80 mile contact on FM, then we switched to SSB. Good reports both ways, in both modes.
And I was able to send a few APRS packets, that were successfully received!

Highly recommend you get a Quansheng UV-K5 for yourself!

New firmware loaded! I am running the "0.3Q" variant.

I have not tried Chirp yet, but there's some discussion of some variants not working.

and I guess I'm confused by all of the versions, it looks like APRS and CW are in the 0.2 series?
