Quansheng HF Modification

These are snapshots taken from some videos I took regarding doing the the popular "HF Mod" on the well known hackable and budget friendly Quansheng UV-K5 radios. I'm terrible at video editing (and there are now a fair few guides on YouTube) so they never saw the light of day, but I did end up with cool handheld radio that can receive from Top Band to UHF!

Removing parts and trace cuts.

0402 SMD component replacements.

Adding the sub PCB.

Installing the sub PCB

Uploading the new firmware. I was initially concerned I'd done it wrong as there was a ticking sound, but a few days later the main developer of the mod (KD8CEC) uploaded a new firmware as the ticking was caused by the S-Meter process, so now it works superbly.
