The Wouxun KG-805G and KG-805M are very powerful, professional grade radios for personal use. Both are also user programmable and most of their features can be easily configured on the fly.
In this video tutorial, Rick from Buy Two Way Radios gives you an overview of the controls and shows you how to program the Wouxun KG-805 directly from the keypad of the radio. These instructions work for the KG-805G GMRS and KG-805M MURS radios.

I liked the information you presented as I can't seem to find much about programming, are GMRS repeaters really out there? Would like to see more about how to access them in Manhattan NYC using this radio.
Yes, GMRS repeaters certainly do exist. The site mygmrs.com features a national directory of repeaters across the US. You would need to as permission from the repeater owner to use it in many cases, but as long as you have a valid GMRS license, it is usually not an issue.
Nice video Rick! Will you be doing a video covering the PC software for configuring the radio also?
Thanks! We should have one soon. Stay tuned!
