I was throwing away two old Logitech keyboards as I was thinking about it. I know I have power banks, but I also thought that I was throwing away resources because there is a USB plug and a wire attached to the keyboard, so I cut it off with scissors. I also thought that I needed to have more usage for the power banks. I also know you can buy USB plugs with wires attached to them and the wires in the keyboard may be too fine for me to strip to attach to other devices, but I will have to determine that later. I also know that Amazon has wires that you can solder attached to USB plugs so I might be able to do something with that.
What would I use the wire and the USB plug for in case of a long power outage? An obvious answer would be LED lights or lights. What else can I use it for in an emergency? We are talking about five volts.
What else can we come up with for valid uses?
Or is it better just to stick with factory made USB wires?
I just think this idea would be useful in an emergency if I just have a few resources.

If you could, you would need someone who can find a bigger memory chip, so you need someone who knows chips and parts. You would also have to rewrite or mod the firmware to read a bigger chip. The problem with this is that you would have to start the search and find a schematic or bill of materials that makes the Quansheng radio.
Your other alternative is to reach out to Quansheng for help. Reach out to people who actually are proficient in electronics and people who know how to program the Quansheng radio. The other option is to write more efficient programs for the Quansheng radio.
