Out the box Quansheng radios can’t listen to 27MHz CB transmissions because the stock software frequency range doesn’t go down that low. But It’s no secret that even with Egzumer firmware installed, which does go down that low, the Quansheng K5-8, K6, and UV 5R Plus “walkie talkies” are still almost completely deaf at 27MHz. […]
