It is a good practice to periodically back up the settings of your Wouxun KG-905G GMRS radio, just in case you make changes from the menu over time and then need to revert back to the old settings later. We recommend performing a backup before customizing your channel list, programming new channels or making any changes to the settings. Here is how to backup and restore your Wouxun KG-905G settings and configuration.
Connect your KG-905G radio to the programming cable plugged into your computer, turn on the radio and run the KG-905G programming software. Go to Edit on the menu bar, choose Read and click the Start button on the popup menu to read the radio.
Once the data is loaded into the software, go to File on the menu bar, choose Save As, create a name for the file and click Save. Your saved file will be saved with a .dat extension.
To restore a previous configuration or to load the factory default codeplug into the KG-905G, Go to File on the menu bar, click Open and choose the .dat file you want to load. Click Open and the file should load into the programming software. When it is loaded, Go to Edit on the menu bar, choose Write, and click the Start button in the Write Data pop-up box. The date should write to the radio.
The factory default codeplug re-writes your KG-905G to the factory default configuration. It is available as a free download under the Downloads tab on the Wouxun KG-905G product page at Buy Two Way Radios.
If you need to completely reset your radio, an alternate and faster way to do it is to simply reset it from the menu.
My new KG-905G has no reset menu, it’s missing. Can this issue be resolved by installing the code plug.
The Reset option can be enabled in the menu by placing a check in the box for RESET in the programming software. Wouxun left it unchecked in the programming software by default, so if it was in the menu before but no longer appears after programming the radio from the software, it is because the checkbox was left unchecked and overwrote it to the radio. Simply adding the check to the box and writing back to the radio should resolve the issue.
