Quansheng UV-K5 – a modern dual-band VHF/UHF portable radio with a scanner function
Explore the features and technical specifications of the Quansheng UV-K5 radio:
✅ TX/RX frequency range: 136-174MHz VHF, 400-470MHz UHF ✅ capability to unlock 225MHz ✅ airband reception ✅ scanner: 50-600MHz ✅ FM radio: 76-108MHz ✅ scrambler ✅ CTCC/DCS codes ✅ CTCSS/DCS code scanner ✅ DTMF ✅ VOX ✅ frequency meter function ✅ 200 memory channels ✅ 10 NOAA weather channels ✅ wireless settings transfer (from one radio to another) ✅ flashlight
The Quansheng UV-K5 covers the 136-174MHz and 400-470MHz bands.
Technically, it allows for:
✅ operation in marine, railway, and PMR/LPD bands ✅ listening to water rescue emergency frequencies ✅ listening to uniformed services transmitting in analog systems (police, city guard, fire department, ambulance service) ✅ listening to the airband
Because this dual-band radio covers a wide frequency range, it can also successfully serve as a frequency scanner / broadband receiver – you can listen to aviation, emergency services, municipal services, and private companies using this frequency range.
The scanner in the Quansheng UV-K5 operates much faster than in popular radios in the same price range, and even more expensive ones. It also has the ability to create two different scanning lists, which can be freely modified in a simple and quick way. Additionally, the Quansheng radio has the ability to scan CTCSS/DCS codes on a selected frequency.
The frequency meter can be a very useful function. When this function is turned on, the Quansheng radio will show the frequency on which a nearby transmitter/other radio is transmitting – a sufficiently strong signal is required.
The Dual Watch function allows you to listen to two frequencies simultaneously. Of course, this function can be turned off.
DTMF support allows for selective calling and controlling the Echolink network on amateur repeaters connected to this network.
A very interesting feature and an innovative solution is the ability to copy settings between two radios wirelessly. In most radios, their settings and programmed frequencies can be transferred from one radio to another using a programming cable and appropriate PC software. Quansheng has created the possibility to clone all data wirelessly over the air.
Quansheng UV-K5 – what else can it do?
The Quansheng UV-K5 also has a built-in FM radio (76-108MHz) – the device allows you to listen to FM radio, which will mute when there is a transmission on the monitored frequency. In difficult conditions, the highly efficient built-in LED flashlight can be really handy. Remember that the radio can be conveniently configured via computer.
Thanks to this, you have the opportunity to purchase a very large assortment of accessories distinguished by an attractive price (adapters, programmers, antennas, speaker microphones). We also recommend the Quansheng UV-K6 model available in the Sapsan Store, which, like the K5, is a bestseller in the SDR Radio category. Do you have questions about this product?

Positive reviews speak for themselves! Ham radio operators appreciate, among other things, the shift, 1750Hz tone, selective calling, and CTCSS/DCS. The radio allows the installation of unofficial community-created firmware, e.g., Egzumer. Below is a video tutorial created by us on installing the system:
Using the radio requires a permit to operate in a radiocommunication network.
