The KG-1000G is in my opinion the best mobile GMRS radio you can buy.. The remote-mount faceplate is priceless in a vehicle with scant space (like a Jeep).. and that speaker in the mic is also very helpful when flying down the freeway in a loud, rattle-bucket/heavily used 4x4 .
Yeah tough to mount a small radio in a jeep huh. Chinese radios are the best!
Careful, sad hams may post stupid comments🙂
WREY-907 - I have two of these radio's. One Mobile and one base with an Ed Fong antenna. The systems work well. I appreciate your video's.
Glad that Wouxun is making turnkey GMRS radios. Helps in getting more people into radios.
Thanks, Jason, for the review. Got my GMRS license in December, browsing the market for a radio. Goal this year - my tech/general licenses. You and Josh and Dave C are my main channels. Keep up the good work!
WSCB835, Ex-Truck Driver Retired. Haven't found anyone to talk to on GMRS. But my Stryker 955hp reaching out there. My GMRS needs work I'm getting this one next. I enjoy watching you and Notarubicon on you tube.
Thanks for stopping by, hope to hear you out there soon
Jason, the HAMS repeaters you saw listed were put up and are maintained by the Houston Amateur Mobile Society. They have a slew of amateur repeaters around Houston and down towards Galveston as well as the GMRS repeaters.
Hello and thanks for taking the time to review this radio. I'm taking a hard look at buying this model. I live in the Southwest Houston area and recently obtained my GMRS license WRTG540.
I’ve had my GMRS license for about a year now and recently my amateur! I have been looking at these for awhile but haven’t purchased one yet. I really enjoy watching your videos and want to thank you for all of your help while I learn.
Thanks
Here in Buckeye, AZ, the only GMRS repeater that is closed to us is a private one, and has two tones. One for TX and another for RX. And since it's private, you can only get the two tones by becoming a member of that GMRS club, which I'm planning to do eventually.
WQZS494 here.. I don’t have the Wouxon GMRS radio. I have the Midland mxt105. I do like that your incorporating GMRS videos into your channel. 73 Jason. KM6MCI
I believe that port on the left side of the radio not only is it for programming but I believe you can link to kg 1000g radios together and make them into a repeater.
Enjoyed the video, just got my GMRS license this summer and bought a KG-1000 G plus. Lots to learn not only about gmrs but how radios work, looking forward to learning what this radio can do. Thanks for the information.
Just installed this radio in my Tundra, Thanks for reviewing it. WRKJ573/KD2VSS .73
Hey Jason. Chris, KD5HIY here. WRKZ272 with you on GMRS also. Hoping to pick one of these radios up soon. Very nice equipment.
Here in Australia we do not have GMRS, we do however have 80 channel UHF CB at 477 MHz, limited to 5 watts with repeaters.
Great review. I've been a ham for about 4 years (KI5ASO) and just got my GMRS license WRQG467. I've been looking for a radio and after watching your review this is now at the top of my list.
Nice video. great radio. I wish the FCC would consolidate call signs. If you're already licensed in one thing, that same call sign should be the same across all your other licenses.
And I just ordered 2 Wouxun KG-905G GMRS tonight
Great little radio, very professional looking. If I didn't already know that it was only $110 I'd think it was a four or five hundred dollar radio. I suggest that you order the longer skinny antenna that is normally supplied with the 805G because it goes better with the looks of the radio. The supplied antenna is shorter and looks more like a VHF antenna. My two cents.
KB7VPL / WRMA512 I just bought this radio. Going to get an antenna up this weekend, and see how it goes. Great video, thanks! 73 Jeff
WRUF615. I have this radio on a Slim Jim I bought for camping but plan on buying an Ed Fong. Have a Nagoya magnetic on my motocycle and Sidecar
I can tell you something I've noticed with several of the gmrs radios in reference to the output power. For the Base/mobile types you need a really good power supply and an accurate meter. The higher the voltage setting is close to between 14 and 15 volts and rated to at least 30 amps or better you will get your wattage. If you are running economy, your output will suffer. I've had at least 10 of these radios and they all seem to be weak at 12 volts and if you are at 13.8 your output will be nominal. A good antenna with an excellent low loss cable is a requirement and of course the higher your elevation the greater your distance. There are allot of other factors as well If you are looking for skip ... forget it ! My cable was the most expensive part of this system. If you want performance its going to cost, otherwise if you go cheap, don't complain . WQXK742
WRFG263 from Maine! Great video. I am going to pick one of these up. Also a ham. Merry Christmas!
Team replay for the win!
Glad to see more GMRS content.
Looks like a great little radio.
If GMRS was more active in my area I'd consider picking one up.
Thanks for a great review.
More radio traffic has to start somewhere...you may be the one to kick it off
@@theblindsharpshooter ya know man, you are right. Easy to sit back and complain, I'm going to start calling out. Thanks for the motivation man. You rock.
Hope to hear y'all on 462.675
@@TheNoCodeTech I hope that was sincerity and not sarcasm 😁. I'm still waiting on my KG-905g to be able to legally participate on GMRS.
@@theblindsharpshooter very sincere, made contact with two local GMRS operators.
Dang near perfect video. Finally pulled the trigger on my GMRS license because of your videos... WRMI790
The video makes a lot of sense now that I have one to follow along. Thanks
I am Amateur callsign AB1OR along with WRKY522 located in Haverhill Ma I have been thinking about this radio for quite a while but haven't been able to buy anything because I was in the middle of restructioning my fiance's and paying off loans but this month I cleared 2 major hurdles so in the upcoming I might pick up this radio by the way I have been a ham for over 30 years ans an Extra class licensee and involved with radio since the age of 10 and what I have seen of your shows you do make very good if not great presentations an your show keep up the great work de AB1OR
WRMQ972 - got mine installed and learning it now. New to GMRS, but also have my HAM license (KI5ATB). Great video on the KG-1000G. I'm local in the DFW metroplex.
Thanks for the video Jason. The radio looks pretty good. Nice job of explaining some of the terms we use in ham radio as you go along.
Thanks looking at that radio for a truck appreciate your time in making the video WFRX321
N3PLA HAM - WRMB762 GMRS I understand two of these and a GMRS duplexer make and excellent GMRS repeater.
Thank you for showing the features of the radio. Yes I have GRMS license its WRAX693 to go with my ham license KM4ESU. This looks like a good choice for a GRMS radio.
Hi that’s what I have in my truck nice Redio thank you for the video
Is it possible to do a video on the repeater function of this radio please? Heard its very neat 👌
He talked about it in the video, did you watch the video?
@@SbrGrendel65 or does this radio have the ability to act as a mobile repeater?
@@babj615 Two can be linked to create a GMRS repeater. We have a video that demos this on our channel.
@@BuyTwoWayRadios yes, I watched that, just didn't want to post it here out of politeness. Thank you!
WRCI575 Dale, that is a fine radio! I use it for a base at the farm, so easy to operate from the front! Thanks for the video Jason, K7DFL
Great Video! WRKT259 here (also KE8OLB) I have the KG-805G and the KG-905G HTs. Love them both. I need to get my hands on two of these KG-1000g's for a repeater function. You can connect two via a cable and set gmrs repeater function!
I currently have a Midland MXT275 in my Jeep. Unfortunately not much traffic on GMRS in Wichita Kansas. If it ever catches on this radio would be a good upgrade. WQZB703.
If you buy the Quad Band version of this radio and unlock it then you get SOO much more.
WRNA759 here. Have armature extra (K1ATM) for ham and just recently got GMRS license. Not sure which radio to purchase. Watching your videos with respect to Wouxun radios befor purchasing. Appreciate your informative videos. 73'
Thanks
WROR753- been exploring GMRS and really like what it is capable of. Thanks for the great videos.
wrpy611, I'm in California still waiting for this radio on back order and the KG-UV9G PRO
I have twoKG 1000 connected as a repeater works excellent
Great clear video - no jargon. Keep them coming.
Really, no seriously appreciate you going through most if not all the menus, operation and functionality really takes your vid to the next level and extremely helpful, thank you:) Now more informed, also purchased KG 905G x 2:) No need for a GMRS, live in Canada
WRFY970 here. I'm considering this radio.
One of the top sellers right now
WRML487 here. Great video but would have like to seen this with multiple contacts across different distances and equipment on the receiving end. All we kinda know is that you can push power through a meter and probably hit a repeater. I kinda want more from a radio and antenna costing almost $400 all-in ;-)
I never planned for this to be my only video about this radio
Just ordered the KG-805G today from Buy Two Way Radios, and will likely get the KG-1000G at some point for a base unit when I get my HAM shack built.
GMRS--WRMD741
HAM--KF0EAV
I also use the Kenwood NX 3320 and NX 3820 and they work great for me
Jason, There is a GMRS repeater in Arlington. Closer than Venus.
Is it actually on the air? If so, they need to put it on the website
WRMH669 here, looking to get a nice mobile radio to fit my needs....i think ive found it here. Great video and thankyou for your instruction. 73's
Looks like you can link 2 of those kg1000 and make a repeater.
That's correct. You can make a repeater out of it. And a passive repeater if I said that right. Or an extender. Something like that. I read it in a manual for the radio. You can google the radio and add user manual to the search and down load it. :) WRKY813
@@nate0954 Ya pretty cool. I guess my question is will a pair used as a repeater self identify and do they need to to be legal?
WRML807. (K4BBR). I do have the KG-1000 and really like it. Very simple to use and has about as many features as you can get on a GMRS radio. My only disappointment is that GMRS is not uttilized too much I central Alabama. I got hooked on GMRS while visiting my GK's in Phoenix where is seems to be as active as 2m with many linked GMRS repeaters. I have only 2 that I can hit from Bama home but still enjoy monitoring GMRS and using the available repeaters that I can hit. I may be relocating to AZ in the next year and if so will be wearing this radio out. Love it. No regrets.
New to radio here.... just getting into ham/gmrs... I'm also in Alabama (Trussville) maybe when I get licensed/call sign, maybe we can connect.
It would be nice if there was a GMRS radio that allowed multiple programmed channels with different tones. As I travel, I don't want to be reprogramming on the fly. Also, set a name - ex. IRON650. Not having FRS transmit is a non-starter. You should have demoed the remote control head, also.
Multiple programmed channels with different tones is a key feature to this particular radio. Instead of using channels 23 through 30, go to 31 and replicate the frequencies for the repeater and tone specific to the area, and give it a new name.
WRKX756, also working on my HAM Technician
Nice review Boerne TX WREM781
WRHT976 out of NW VA. I have been looking for a remote faceplate and this is great. Will be moving from a midland to this, thanks!
I, know it's been a few months since you have posted the video, and like to thank you for the info. I have just applied for a License and looking to get into the GMRS as a hobby.
looking forward to new videos on the subject.
I’m considering purchasing this radio.Hopefully I will be able to hit a few of the repeaters in town 20 miles away in Houston with this unit. WRKQ564
This is WRCGXX6. Greeting from Buckeye, AZ
Jason thanks for finally doing the video on the KG-1000. I'm going to get one soon with a power supply to use as a GMRS base station. I like your power meter, would that take away from your transmit power? Could that of been the reason your meter only showed 45 watts on key up? Another video I saw with a smaller inline power meter showed this rig at 50 watts on transmit.
Looks like a neat little radio. I too have a GMRS license, hello from Los Angeles. GMRS: WREL500, HAM: K6WTG, RR:00162553, (and Experimental on its way, fingers crossed)
Does the manual to this radio explain to a complete novice (me) how to properly use this radio?
Yes.
@@nate0954 I don't mean to be contradictory PCM, but I have yet to see a manual for anything that is useful for first-time users. Hopefully, the Chinese/American translation is good anyway.
WRVF952 I'm thinking about buying a Wouxun1000G or a Midland MXT500 ,I leaning more towards the KG1000G. But like the idea of the turnkey 50cal. ammo box can get for the Midland
I am WRNE562 and two days after I'm posting this, I should receive my Wouxun KG-1000G as well as an appropriate antenna. I have an SWR meter that I'll be tuning the antenna with. I don't know where I'll put the radio after I get it; I'll want to move it between the house and the truck. I don't want to keep an antenna on the truck all the time as that's a bit of an attractant to thieves. I'll probably use it at home more than anywhere else and I'll keep my walkie on me when I travel in my local area. If I go on a road trip, I'll put the radio in the truck.
It can transmit on channels 8 through 14. Wow. That is a dealbreaker for me
Why?
If I had your callsign, I would ID as w-RF-k### with emphasis on the RF part.
Nice video. If you have had your GMRS license for 10 years you better check to see if you need to renew it. If I remember they are only good for ten years.
I've had it for about 12 years and have renewed it once during that time
Howdy! WRTA820, Newly licensed and learning as much as I can. I live in Mansfield, just down the road from you. Wanting to acquire a nice HT, and mobile unit for my rig. Your videos have been very helpful! Would love to correspond, pick your brain a little. It’s easy (and fun) to get carried away with this stuff but I want to do it right. Cheers!
WRPZ857, I just bought one KG-1000g it awesome.
Nice video, thanks. I have the KG-1000G and really like it. Solid build and tons of functionality. The ability to create multiple scan groups (using the software) and then scan two groups simultaneously (side A/side B) is great. It’s pretty much 2 radios in one box. It includes several additional RX only bands including Air. Audio is significantly better compared to other GMRS models out there. Has 3 speakers in total, backlit faceplate /mic & much more. Currently using it as a base connected to a 30amp MFJ power supply and paired it with the new Wouxon handheld that just came out.
Love the video. Been very interested in the kg1000g. I appreciate you going thru the different functions. I think I'll get the kg1000g after watching this video. Currently I'm running the Midland MXT115., but it has some limitations. Thanks again for the demo. WRFV702 SE Michigan
WROD320. Have the kg905 and the 935 now
Hi Jason, I am also WQLX406
WRMB912... Hello. I'm new to the GMRS world. I used CB Radios back in the day. I purchased the Wouxun KG-1000-G a week or so ago and just installed it. I need to program in repeaters for the Reno, NV, and surrounding area, and obviously, learn how to use the radio.
Would be interested to hear about your experience. I'm also new to this and looking to purchase this radio along with Ed Fong antenna for house. Please share!
Just picked one up, great radio 👍
It's indeed the best GMRS mobile radio. Hope they revise it to provide a way to dim the display. Otherwise it is perfect.
I guess if I’d read a few of the earlier posted comments I would have see the answer to my question.
Thanks I have a mxt400 in my truck
Very thorough review Jason. Thank you. 73
My question every time I see a video on these radios is this, can I use this radio as i would a cb? Can I send out a general call and have whoever else is listening response to my call.
Yes you can. This is true for any 2-way radio.
@@HamRadio2 thank you. I've asked it several times to different people posting videos about gmrs. None have responded. I know it sounds like a dumb question. I'm tired of the reception on cb and looking to upgrade.
@@josebriones4990 The range on GMRS will be better than CB simply due to the legal power output of each service. As with all radios, the reception (defined as the signal you HEAR) really depends on the quality of the receiver in the radio you are using. Lesser expensive radios have poorer reception than more expensive ones, as you might suspect.
But yes, folks monitor GMRS simplex and repeater frequencies and you can strike up conversations in the way you mentioned above.
The reason it limits you to "monitor only" on the FRS frequencies which are limited to a half a watt is not necessary because they couldn't figure out how to lower it to half a watt, but to keep this radio in compliance. FRS channels and even GMRS/FRS hybrids that transmit on those frequencies must have FIXED antennas. Because this sweet little import radio has the ability to put an outstanding high gain external antenna, they can't let you transmission on those frs frequencies, just monitor. Midland completely eliminated them on their line. I like that this radio at least allows you to listen. Thanks for the radio review. It's always nice to know about other radio options.

I just got my KG-1000G set up last week and started using it. I really love it. I am very new to radio (and to GMRS for that matter), but I've been using one of the local repeaters out here about 30 miles away and have already made a handful of contacts. I have one question though...every now and then I see the receive light come on when I have the channel set on the repeater channel but no noise comes out of the speaker (even when I have the volume turned up). It usually only happens for a second or two at a time. Do you have any ideas what is causing that to happen? WRKJ910
WQXM648, Austin, TX here. 73
This is relevant to my interests
Hey
What’s the link to the Ed Fong a tan a for this GMRS frequencies? Couldn’t find it below video
You can also listen on 2 meter 440 and I believe airband
Correct
THE PROGRAMING PORT IS FOR CTCSS AND DCS. NEEDED FOR REPEATER USE.
I'm GMRS WRCV874 in Tennessee
Low power channels are called FRS channels. There are mods for that to unlock the low power to full power.
Would love to know where to find those mods.
Me too... come back
Can the TYT MD-UV 390 Plus perform the same functions as the KG-1000G? This obviously a newbie question.
I’m getting a GRMRS license on the 19th. I’ve been waiting for the license price drop.
applied for my GMRS license. im looking for a 50 watt mobile unit. what would you recommend ?
pre made GMRS radios are pretty much a new thing the last few years back in the day we used maxtracs micors or whatever part 90 radio we could set up. I had a regency 16 channel it was a pain you would have to re tune the receiver section every 6 months
Look for a elevated repeater on the list. You can search your state & repeater frequency The map doesn't show as many as the list. I can hit repeaters 59 miles away with 25 watts and a NX dual band GMRS MURS slimjim antenna hanging in my window.
Jason, My call sign is WRPN884 for GMRS, and for Ham radio it is KI5KHR, enjoy your videos. Does the face of the KG-1000 detach for separate mounting?
Yes
WRFX900 Nice review
WQMK940(currently expired)
I need to renew it. Waiting for FCC to actually drop the price like they were approved for.
(a YEAR AGO!!!!)😡
Like the looks of this radio. Unfortunately not really any repeaters near me and Im not spending the money just to drive around and listen to 5 year olds key the mic and hit the (bubble pack) "CALL" button a thousand times in a row. But it is nice to see serious GMRS making a come back. I have 3 Vertex VX3000U commercial Part 90 radios around here still programmed up, collecting dust somewhere. Although, with all the changes they did to Part 95, Im not even sure if I can still use them. Used to be, you could use any Part 90 commercial gear as long as it was manufactured before Nov. 2002. Don't know if that's still the case or not. Right now I have my Yaesu FT-7900(to scan/listen) mounted in my truck next to my FT-8800. Decided to start listening to GMRS/FRS some more. Trying to revive my radio hobby interest. In fact, it was my GMRS stuff that inevitably got me to get my HAM license.
Of course, I've always had my FT-8800 in the truck. Just haven't even been on the air for a few years. Made a contact on the repeater the other night, tho, while I was nerding out installing the 7900. Turns out the guy I answered was doing the same thing, installing a radio in HIS truck. Felt good to key up again!😁
I am also......K7LND
73!
-Jeff
Great radio! It’s on my wish list. WRKF836 😄
Good choice!
$320 tho, yikes!
Pricey, yes. BUT ya get what you pay for. This is one of if not thee best GMRS mobile out there Wouxun stands behind there products. Amung some of the best customer expierences I've ever had hands down. Don't have this Mobile but I Do have MULTIPLE Wouxun radios. Quality in chipset and materials used are high. Can't wait to have enough to buy this radio. I'm excited about this. Amd you can program Alpha numeric lables and save individual repeaters as names on channels. Good things can happen and on an Analyzer this radio has no sporadic emissions. WRKY813
@Rogeball PB its a Wouxun....i have a btech 2501 thats 25w and unrestricted that cost me, well $0 (ebay buyer blah blah). But usually less $70.
I appreciate the fact this limits wattage/erp/transmit. Wouxun is clearly trying to please Uncle Charlie.
I'm sure there's a "hack" to open this for full 2m/70cm.
Supposedly, this radio has speech inversion scrambling too. I seriously doubt if most repeater owners would appreciate someone using it though.
have the Btech GRMS 50x1 - WRKU865 Always good to have multiple line of communication. 73, Ed N6XEW
