Quansheng UV-K5 Handheld Radio

There has been plenty of comments and feedback on our Nets about the Quansheng UV-K5 handheld.

Plenty of our Members have managed to purchase one for a reasonable amount of money.

It is easy to update the firmware on these with the help from the Youtube video (see link to far right).

It now enables it to operate on 18MHz to 1300MHz receive only in AM, FM, LSB and USB Modes. It will still transmit on 2Mtr and 70cm and works very well.

A lot of radio and fun for a low amount of cash!

Adding a new callsign to QRZ.com

The QRZ callsign database is updated continuously from a variety of sources. Some rules are observed to ensure that only legitimate amateur radio callsigns are inserted into the database. This article is for those non-USA amateurs who are new to the site and wish to have their callsign added to the database.

The first rule of adding callsigns to the database is that it may only be done by a licensed amateur whose callsign already exists in our database.

This might sound like a problem for someone who is new to the site, however, rest assured that we will do everyting possible to get you listed. If this is your first time on QRZ and you are a non-USA amateur then you must be assisted to get your call sign listed. Getting assistance is easy.

First, any existing QRZ member whose callsign is listed can help you. If you have a friend on QRZ, just ask them to add your callsign and you're done.

If you don't know anyone personally, there is a group of volunteers on the site who are eager to help you out. They are known as our DX Helpers and they have their own Forum area, called Callsign Database Helpers. To get your callsign listed, just post a message in this area by clicking on the New Thread Button and give some basic information about yourself, such as your callsign, your name, your QSL address, etc and one of our DX Helpers will get you fixed up right away.
