# Radio performance
Please note that the Quansheng uv-k radios are not professional quality transceivers, their
performance is strictly limited, somewhat below that of a decent transceiver. The RX front
end has no track-tuned band pass filtering at all, and so are wide band/wide open to any
and all signals over a wide frequency range.
Using the radio in high intensity RF environments will nearly always destroy your reception,
the receiver simply doesn't have a great dynamic range, which means distorted AM audio with
strong received signals, there is nothing more anyone can do in firmware/software to stop that
happening once the RX gain adjustment I do (AM fix) reaches the hardwares limit.

Using the radio in high intensity RF environments will most likely make reception anything but
easy (AM mode will suffer far more than FM ever will), the receiver simply doesn't have a
great dynamic range, which results in distorted AM audio with stronger RX'ed signals.
There is nothing more anyone can do in firmware/software to improve that, once the RX gain
adjustment I do (AM fix) reaches the hardwares limit, your AM RX audio will be all but
non-existant (just like Quansheng's firmware).
On the other hand, FM RX audio will/should be fine.
But, they are nice toys for the price, fun to play with.
# User customization
You can customize the firmware by enabling/disabling various compile options.
You can customize the firmware by enabling/disabling various compile options, this allows
us to remove certain firmware features in order to make room in the flash for others.
You'll find the options at the top of "Makefile" ('0' = disable, '1' = enable) ..
