An open-source custom firmware for the Quansheng UV-K5/K6/5R handheld radio, merging OneOfEleven's custom firmware with fagci's spectrum analyzer mod plus additional enhancements. It adds features like SSB demodulation, AM reception fix, fast scanning, and configurable buttons.

Use cases

  • unlock SSB reception on a Quansheng UV-K5 handheld radio
  • improve AM reception quality on the UV-K5
  • add a spectrum analyzer to a UV-K5 radio
  • customize button functions and menus on a UV-K5
  • get better battery percentage and voltage display on the radio
  • flash custom firmware onto a Quansheng UV-K5/K6/5R

When to choose

  • you own a Quansheng UV-K5/K6/5R and want enhanced features beyond stock firmware
  • you want SSB demodulation or a spectrum analyzer on a cheap handheld radio
  • you want an actively maintained community firmware with a detailed manual and wiki

When to avoid

  • you own a different radio model - this firmware is specific to the Quansheng UV-K5 family
  • you cannot risk bricking your radio, as flashing carries real risk
  • you need professional-grade transceiver performance, which the hardware itself limits
