-## Radio performance
+## Observed radio boot problems
+
+After having two UV-K5(8) radios for a while now, and I don't know how many programming lead
+insertions/deinsertions (lots n lots!) both radios are now having trouble booting up into either
+the bootloader and/or the firmware.
+
+The reason appears to be something to do with the the 3.5mm/2.5mm mic jack sockets, most likely
+the internal contacts in either/both of the sockets.
+
+Need to find a suitable replacement for the two jack sockets to confirm this though.

 Please note that the Quansheng UV-Kx radios are not professional quality transceivers, their
 performance is strictly limited. The RX front end has no track-tuned band pass filtering
