Found a really weird bug on my UV5R today by accident.
If you have one, try it and see if yours does the same thing.
Press and hold PTT. While holding PTT push 1 on the keypad and hold for 5 seconds. This of course sends DTMF #1.
If you release the PTT while still holding the 1 button, the radio stays in transmit mode with the microphone on even though the display says it's back in receive mode. I found no way to stop the transmission except to turn off the radio.

Here you go, more on this, I saw this about a year ago, in a blog by another person who was tasked with finding these things. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-10-04/the-big-hack-how-china-us...
More for your "enjoyment"... I am being cynical here... It should be alarm.

I tried it on a different UV5R yesterday and it did not do it. I went back and tried it on the first one and it definitely does it. I was able to get it to stop transmitting by pressing another number key and releasing PTT.
