Newest Green Quansheng UV-K6 host has a rich youthful color, and at first glance, all eyes will make people focus on the walkie talkie itself. The black antenna actually has a visually “negligible” invisibility effect.
The basic parameters of the walkie talkie are also consistent: maximum power of 5W, frequency range: amateur V-band: 144-148MHz; Amateur U-segment: 430-440MHz.
Let’s take a look at the main body of the “Youth Green UVK6” host. The overall color of the machine is bright, making it eye-catching from afar. Apart from the color scheme, there is no essential difference in appearance compared to previous models.
In fact, there are still differences, but they cannot be seen from the surface. However, don’t worry, the color scheme of this “Youth Green” is already exclusive to the large capacity 512KB (4M).
Close up of the antenna interface at the top, due to the reflective effect of the bright color of the shell, the SAM male interface feels updated.
Due to the use of the same mold, the battery of the new Youth Green UVK6 is compatible with other colored K6 models. And the use of standard black batteries and vibrant appearance creates a clear color collision, making the body stand out no matter where it is placed.
Standard battery: DC 7.2V 1600mAh battery. If power saving mode is added during daily use, it can be used for two to three days without any problems.
Comparison with standard Black UV-K6
The standard version of UVK6 also has quite attractive features, and the orange and black power on volume composite knob can also attract a lot of attention.
After recombining, compare it with the camouflage version of K5
The two models, such as antennas, batteries, and back clips, are all universal accessories. If there is a need to purchase more batteries of the same type, there is no need to worry about compatibility issues, just replace them and they can be used. Does it feel a bit different to replace it with a camouflage battery?
Compare the Youth Green UVK6 with the Quansheng A1 walkie talkie, which also has night light function, after replacing it with a short antenna.
Compared to the surrounding plants, the youthful green UVK6 is not considered a “pure green” to some extent. It looks more like a fluorescent yellow green with a more prominent color. If the walkie talkie accidentally falls to the ground in some outdoor and work related places, it can be recognized at a glance without worrying about not being found.
Since I purchased a high-capacity UVK6 walkie talkie this time, it is inevitable to perform operations such as flashing and writing frequency. A data cable connected to a computer is an essential equipment.
Compared to the early K-head to COM port (9-pin serial port) cables, current data cables typically use K-head to USB ports. This not only makes it convenient to plug and install, but now the COM port has basically disappeared from the new motherboard.
Friendly reminder:
Don’t underestimate a small writing frequency cable, there are actually many tricks inside. The prices of writing frequency cables sold online vary, and the quality also varies. For safety reasons, it is better to buy one with good quality. In case you accidentally touch it during the critical process of writing frequency, and then it will indicate that the writing frequency has failed, or even if it is connected but still indicates that it is not online, it is really annoying to have a writing frequency cable by your side.
We first log in to the official website of Quansheng Electronics on the computer, and then find the corresponding walkie talkie model: UV-K6 in the download center. Then, according to our actual needs, download the corresponding software, firmware, manuals and other materials for application.
In the software download on the official website, in addition to the Chinese and English versions of the frequency writing software, there is also a driver program for the original factory frequency writing cable that is packaged and downloaded together. Because we purchased the official Quansheng writing frequency cable during this time, we came down together and didn’t have to go looking for it ourselves. CP21x-USB， This is the driver software for writing frequency lines. The first thing we need to do is open and install this software.
Then we select the installation of frequency writing programs in both Chinese and English based on our personal usage habits, and proceed to the next step. There is nothing particularly noteworthy.
The level of firmware upgrade is the same. After running it directly, go all the way to the next step until the program installation is completed.
Driver software can be seen as a channel for software to recognize the corresponding hardware and communicate with it. Some driver software for writing frequency lines can be recognized by the latest version of the system’s built-in driver, while others cannot. For safety reasons, we will proceed with the device manager for system properties and check if the corresponding drivers have been installed correctly in the ports (COM and LPT). If there is an error or incorrect installation, an exclamation mark will be found on this hardware.
In the early days, after installing the driver, the K-head to COM port would also remind us of the baud rate for communication. Is it already set correctly. Now that all the cables are USB adapters, there is no need to worry about this. However, when encountering COM port conflicts, we can choose another option in its advanced options to avoid conflicts.
Open the simulation console CPS on the desktop, then connect it online to read the original factory information inside the machine. We can make batch modifications according to actual needs, and also make some custom settings.
The operation of firmware upgrade (firmware flashing) is similar, but due to space limitations, you can search for the ones you have previously written, which provide detailed instructions on how to operate:
Demonstration of Quansheng UV-K5 and UV-K6 frequency writing software and firmware upgrade operation.
It should be noted that:
- Unlike online frequency writing, which requires turning on the device before connecting the data cable, firmware flashing involves first shutting down the device, then holding down the “side key 1” and turning it on before connecting the data cable for firmware upgrade.
- The same behavior as UVK5 during firmware flashing is that the lighting indicator light will flash, but the difference is that the power indicator light K5 is on, while the youthful green UVK6 is not on, which is a normal phenomenon.
Quansheng Youth Green UV-K6 Large Capacity Memory Interphone Simple Experience Experience:
- The very bright colors make people feel more youthful and energetic. Changing from the traditional and more orthodox color scheme, this walkie talkie can attract attention for personal use, whether in daily work or out with family. Children who see such models believe they will love them even more, and holding them in their hands highlights their youthful spirit.
- For those who love to flash their phones, such a large capacity walkie talkie can even unleash greater performance.
For ordinary consumers, don’t forget its most practical feature: one click frequency pairing. Simply press: F+4 when turned on to start frequency scanning mode. At this time, the other walkie talkie can easily obtain the corresponding frequency by pressing and holding down the transmitter. This simple operation can achieve team communication, especially in temporary teaming, which has obvious advantages. Not to mention the dual frequency and dual guard function of traditional professional walkie talkies.
