    QUANSHENG

    *1 You can find firmware to expand the speech capabilities of the uv-K5 at: softcon.com/radio/quansheng-k5-softcon.exe

    The firmware for the quansheng k5 will also work for the Retevis RA-79, and the Radtel RT-590 as well.

    *2The asterisk means I've not personally heard a K6 talk. Everyone claims the k5 and the k6 are the same radio, (and they probably are), but I've been unable to find a sample of the k6 actually talking.
