As a tour guide, i need an FM transmitter (88 MHz to 108MHz). at the same time i need a walkie talkie too.
Can you make it possible this UV-K5 to transmit in FM Radio signals, and can be received clearly by regular radio receiver?
Thank you

The radios TX chain has been designed to transmit only within the 136-174 420-470'ish range, transmitting outside of those areas has found to be a bad idea due to the large amplitude spurious carriers it produces when you try - do so at your own risk (country laws might get you found out).

Anyway, not sure if the BX radio chip will produce the level of FM deviation required by 88-108 WBFM receivers.

I can see this radio being band in certain countries (with certainty) as is (very soon too), mainly due to the air-band limit being removed - it's been a seriously bad idea to have given the morons out there the ability to transmit across the air-band (108-136), and also the higher military band.

Am glad all countries have air-band DF'ing all built in (to instantly locate lost aircraft), and so making it easy to pin point the dummies that are transmitting in the air band(s).

The K5 can not really transmit on FM radio frequencies. It uses a second chip for FM radio which is receiver only. The main chip could transmit and receive on those freqs too but the bandwidth is far too low to be usable, I couldnt get it to demodulate and if you were to send on FM it would just be uselessly quiet. It would also be a very dirty transmission and way too much power, silencing many radios in a large area. Very likely illegal in your country too.
