This HT Is Hiding Way More Than I Expected

In this video I’m reviewing the **Radioddity GS-10B Pro**, a dual-band VHF/UHF handheld radio with a surprise feature I did not expect to find in an HT: a **built-in spectrum scope**. We’ll look at what the GS-10B Pro actually transmits on, how clean the signal looks on the TinySA, what the power output claims are, and how the radio performs as a practical ham radio handheld instead of just another black plastic button brick.

The GS-10B Pro is not just a basic dual-band HT. It offers **VHF/UHF transmit**, plus expanded receive coverage including **AM, FM, shortwave, and HF receive**, making it more of a wideband listening tool with ham-radio transmit capability. I also test the radio’s spectrum purity, take a look at the real built-in spectrum display, check the programming options including Bluetooth/app programming and CPS, and talk through the good, the weird, and the things buyers should know before grabbing one.

If you’re looking for a **Radioddity GS-10B Pro review**, a handheld radio with **AM/FM/SW receive**, a **clean transmit test**, or just want to know whether this HT is actually useful or just spec-sheet confetti, this video should help. We’ll keep it practical: what works, what surprised me, what feels gimmicky, and whether the built-in spectrum scope is a real feature worth caring about.

Someone Returned This “Broken” Radio…I Proved Them Wrong!

Is one person’s "return" your next favorite radio?

Today I’m in the "Mobile Office" at a campground to perform a full QC bench test on an Amazon return: the Retevis RT95. Usually, returns are a mystery, but this one arrived looking practically brand new with the screen protector still on. The new owner specifically wanted an antenna included, so I’m putting this dual-band mobile through its paces to ensure it’s 100% ready for its forever home.

What’s inside this test:
👉 The "Cigarette Lighter" Warning: Why you should check your fuse and wiring gauge before plugging in a high-current mobile radio.
👉 Chirp Troubleshooting: How I handled a "Chirp bug" while programming North American band plan repeaters.
👉 Real-World Power Test: Testing the radio into a mag-mount antenna to see if it actually hits its rated 20–25 watts.
👉 Repeater Stress Test: I attempt to open 5 different local repeaters near Coralville, IA, to verify the transmitter and CTCSS tones are working perfectly.

Saving radios from e-waste, one return at a time. Interested in a QC-tested radio? I sell these directly to ensure you get a working unit without the "Amazon gamble".

Hacking the Quansheng UV-K1 Radio! HOW TO!

In this video, I’m hacking the Quansheng radio by installing custom firmware, checking out what changes, and answering the big practical question: will it work with CHIRP? The short answer is yes, but the setup is a little tricky. I’ll walk through the firmware install process, show the hidden Breakout-style game, and explain what makes this firmware different from the stock radio experience.

Radio:
👉 Quansheng UV-K1 Mini-Kong: https://geni.us/uUVu45
👉 AIOC Programming/Data Adapter: https://temporarilyoffline.com/products/aioc-all-in-one-cable?variant=43007738216582&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TO&utm_content=QuanshengMiniKong

Firmware:
👉 F4HWM Custom Firmware: https://github.com/armel/uv-k1-k5v3-firmware-custom
👉 Armel’s Firmware Flasher: https://armel.github.io/uvtools2/

Extras:
👉 AIOC 3D Printed Case: https://temporarilyoffline.com/products/3d-printed-aioc-case-current-batch-color-bright-green?variant=44118226829446&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TO&utm_content=QuanshengMiniKong
👉 Mini-Kong – Mini-Battery: https://geni.us/B7Y0
👉 Baofeng UV-5R (25th Anniversary Edition): https://geni.us/8xt9Aq
👉 Baofeng UV-5R Mini: https://geni.us/C0FRgFe
👉 Baofeng UV-5R USB-C Battery: https://geni.us/ptbeHAc

👉 Zero to Hero Course: https://courses.hamradiodx.net/b/LmQGB/af697d88594372e
👉 Starter Course: https://courses.hamradiodx.net/b/TqJWp/af697d88594372e

This is not just a “look, new firmware” video. The goal is to show what you actually gain, what gets weird, and what you need to know before flashing your own radio. We’ll look at the new menu behavior, the extra features, the radio’s personality shift after the firmware update, and the CHIRP compatibility quirks that can trip people up.

If you have one of these Quansheng radios and you’re wondering whether custom firmware is worth installing, this video gives you the real-world version: how to install it, what changes afterward, and whether the radio becomes more useful, more fun, or just more complicated.
