I'm not impressed with USB-C charging, because it takes way too long to charge 5V/0.5-1A to 8.4V/2-3.8A. Measure charging time in days instead of hours. I prefer a charging dock, the largest battery and a spare, but that's me.

Agree charging dock is way faster the USB C is convenient as many of us have phone chargers Handy.

You did not say what the MaH rating is on the UV-5R Plus battery, but since it is a large battery, they may have chosen to eliminate the USB-C charging capability because it would take excessively long to charge the large battery.

@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones why is it a better choice? the speaker is the same, no matter the bs Quansheng claims and the color of the screen is taste, personally I prefer the white & black, and second the yellow and last the blue... but that is taste.. these ofset colors blue & yellow, just gets old quite fast but again "taste"... and then I dont like the yellow and how Quansheng fooled tons of buyers by showing fake promo pictures with white lettering on yellow back, when it clearly was black lettering and not white. as you can see the K6 are not a dance on roses vs K5 kzitem.info/news/bejne/lqKEyXyXhp2bZaA

Its crazy, Quansheng is spitting out new models faster than rabbits can breed!😂 I think they want to take over the UV-5R market. Blatent rip off!😂 I think the airband sounds better than all my three. I have a feeling that their USB C on the K5 & K6 were maybe missing a proper BMS, hence getting rid of it. Dunno but I dont like the look of any UV-5R and thats why I dont have one.

Yup. I just ordered one during BF for $18USD shipped to Canada. It was designated as a UV-5R Plus which looks exactly like this model being demo'd. This being 6 months after this review, there is an Air-band fix and the UVMOD website to mod the radio. Thanks OP for sharing your initial findings.

Whatever you type once the >------- pops up can be deleted by pressing the button under the PTT button, but if you type something then hit the PTT button, the next time you hit the * key it will be there.
