If you are the proud owner of the popular Wouxun KG-935G GMRS two way radio, and have been frustrated with the fact that the programming sofware provided by Wouxun only works on a Windows PC, the time has come to rejoice. The Wouxun KG-935G is now officially supported by CHIRP!
With the release of chirp-daily-20220909, the KG-935G is now officially listed as one of the radios that can be programmed using the CHIRP programming software. This should come as a great news to fans of the KG-935G who are also users of CHIRP and use it as their app of preference for programming popular amateur radios.
CHIRP makes it easy to program channels, frequencies, CTCSS tones, DCS codes and power levels into the 935G, as well as allowing you to configure and customize various features of the radio.
That's not all. In addition to all the standard programming options, the CHIRP software will allow you to edit the message that is shown on the display when an area is off. Currently it is fixed at "KG-935G", but through CHIRP you can edit it to display any text you want. You can find this option in CHIRP by going to Settings, choosing OEM Info and changing the in the first box titled Model / Bottom Banner. The limit is eight alphanumeric characters.
CHIRP generally allows importing and exporting from another radio that was also programmed with the app. The import/export capabilities can be utilized with the KG-935G GMRS radio as well. You can export your frequencies from another radio and import them into your 935G file without having to retype everything. You can also copy and paste between files.
But the news is even better. In addition to Windows, CHIRP also supports Mac and Linux! The lack of Mac and Linux support from Wouxun has been a bone of contention with some customers who want to program their Wouxun KG-935G on their computer but don't have Windows PC. Now that the KG-935G can be programmed using CHIRP, this is no longer an issue.
Thanks go to Mel Terechenok for volunteering his time and effort to create the driver and adding the KG-935G to CHIRP to make this possible!
Note: CHIRP is third party software and is not produced or supported by Wouxun or Buy Two Way Radios. While we have confirmed that the functionality seems to work well with the KG-935G, we cannot guarantee that there are no bugs or that future updates won't cause issues. We cannot be held responsible if there are problems with your radio as a result of using CHIRP. Use at your own discretion and risk.
Thanks
You’re a good man, Mel.
I own the 935-G and 805-G and UV9G portable radios.
My question is are the Wouxun programs and Chirp all working with Windows 11 yet?
Thank you for your reply.
