The Wouxun KG-905G has a lot of features, but it is not a complicated radio to operate. As a Part 95 type accepted GMRS radio, all 22 GMRS simplex channels and 8 GMRS repeater channels are already pre-programmed into the KG-905. But, what if you want to add custom repeater channels into the radio? No problem, since it supports up to 256 custom channels. In fact, the KG-905G is quite simple to program using the KG-905G programming software, and it is required to program the additional custom channels. Here's how to program a repeater channel into your KG-905G.
For starters, you will need a programming cable, a computer running Microsoft Windows, and the KG-905G programming software. At present the only programming software for the 905G is provided by Wouxun, however it is readily available from us at Buy Two Way Radios. The KG-905G is not yet supported by CHIRP.
Read the instructions in the article How to install the Programming Cable and Software for the KG-905G.
Once the programming software is installed and running and the KG-905G is connected, you will need all the information about the repeater(s) you will be adding. The best resource for this is the national repeater directory database at mygmrs.com. Locate the repeater(s) that you want to add and note the frequencies, tones, and any other necessary particulars and you are ready to program a repeater channel into your radio.
Note: you will need to create an account on mygmrs.com to access the repeater directory if you don't already have one. You may also need permission from the repeater owner, so be sure that is granted before programming it into your radio.
How to Program a Repeater Channel into your KG-905G
Choose an empty row within a group in the Channel Information table and enter the following:
- Rx-Fre - The receive frequency from the repeater
- Tx Fre - The transmit frequency to the repeater
- QT/DQT Dec - The receive CTCSS tone or DCS code
- QT/DQT Enc - The transmit CTCSS tone or DCS code
- Power - The Power Level for the channel (HIGH/LOW)
- W/N - The bandwidth for the channel (Wide or Narrowband)
- Busy Lock - Enable or disable Busy Channel Lockout (ON/OFF)
- Scan Add - Whether not to add the channel to the Channel Scan (Del/Add)
- SP Mute - Choose (QT/QT*DT/QT+DT)
- CallID - Select a Caller ID (1-20)
- Name - Create a name for the channel (up to 6 characters)
To add more channels, repeat the steps above. Once the channels are created, save your settings to the radio and you're ready to go. If these instructions are followed correctly, you should be able to program all 256 custom memory channels in your Wouxun KG-905G.
