[GCARC] Awesome radio that I want

Sun Aug 17 10:32:48 EDT 2025

No... the Quansheng UV-K5(8) will *receive* the air band (118-130MHz) as it
has AM RX capability, but it *does not* have TX capability at all.  I have
two copies of this radio, one with the EGZUMER firmware and one with the
factory firmware.  Both radios have the air band available as an RX-only
function.  The basic issue with TX here is that the radio has no AM
transmitter built into the set.
