Deep dives

UV mod allows customization of Quan-Sheng radios

UV mod is a website that enables users to customize the firmware of their Quan-Sheng two-way radios. The radios, which are similar to Balfang, are popular entry-level options for CB radios, ham radios, and private business radios. While they are affordable and reliable, the default software can be subpar. UV mod solves this issue by providing a menu of options that users can toggle on and off, adjust power levels, modify frequencies, and enable hidden features. With a USB to radio cable, users can easily flash their radio firmware directly from the browser. It should be noted that some features may have been disabled for valid reasons, so caution is advised.
