Whee!
No longer nanowatts!

Hahaha! Guess what.
The BK4819 chip in the #Quansheng #UV5K radio DOES work on #23cm.
Just hitting filters (noise lump is from the UHF PA chain running full throttle on noise).

Glorious -60dBm on 1297.500MHz!
A whole 0.000001mW of it!

This beats the -75dBm we got from rtl_trx on 1270MHz (aberfoot unmodified rtl-sdr stick used as a trasnceiver).
I even worked OH3HMU on 1270MHz with an rtl-sdr stick So the power is kainda usable.
