UPDATE (3/11/2014): The Wouxun KG-UV8D is now available for pre-order.
We've received quite a few questions since announcing the Wouxun KG-UV8D earlier this week. It seems that this upcoming radio is generating quite a buzz!
A couple of more details came in earlier today and I thought I would share:
- I can confirm that the KG-UV8D will sell for $139.99 at launch. We will begin accepting pre-orders sometime next week.
- While a 220 MHz version of this radio will eventually be available, it will not be available at launch. The 2m/70cm version is the only one that will be available at launch.
We also have the following flyer and spec sheet to share (click the image for a larger version):
FCC has been levying heavy fines for using wide band radios on commercial frequencies.
Just a warning for those who don't know any better.
I can transmit and receive on both bands on Wide Band...That is my main concern if that the Radio will operate, Transmit and receive in Wide Band mode???
Unfortunately, Wouxun required that we raise the price on the KG-UV8D this weekend. As an authorized Wouxun dealer, we complied. To be clear, this was all Wouxun, not us.
If you have any concerns or need assistance with the pricing, please give us a call at 1-800-584-1445 and we will do our best to help.
Thanks for the heads up. At least Wouxun is not as bad as TYT, their mobile radios have 200 "momery" channels listed right on the box. I guess it was designed for a truly multi-tasking woman.
Does it compare in terms of durability, keeping in mind the the tough conditions the construction workers work on.
