Thank you.

Uv-5r plus
Using uvmod
No other prior firmware updates.
I selected tx everywhere.
On tx airband no audio transmitted, like mic disabled. Sounds like carrier is tx,
as strong signal rx'd into another airband ht.
How should I make the mic work please?

If I select 144.250 fm mic ok
Also battery percentage & RSSI
not included although selected in same update.

The carrier sounds clear and strong to fully and cleanly open the rx squelch without any static

Are you trying to receive AM?

The K5/K6 is sold for ham radio use (see QS's website), that means they don't need to be type approved, which saves the manufacturer/sellers a lot of money.

Airband/Commercial transceivers are all type approved, and no doubt airband transceivers have stricter standards than standard commercial type approval, which means ham radios are not allowed to be used on the airbands for transmission, especially when they transmit FM rather than AM. AM requires linear TX PA's, or at least linear modulation of the output stage, FM doesn't. The radios cannot do AM TX, even getting them to do AM RX has been a struggle !

But then, as in all parts of life, everyone has to make their own mind up/choices about the things they do in life.
