From the day of its arrival in August of 2021, the Wouxun KG-XS20G became an instant favorite with many GMRS operators. Today the best compact mobile GMRS radio just got better. We're excited to announce the launch of an upgrade, The KG-XS20G Plus!
The KG-XS20G Plus is essentially the same radio as the original XS20G, but with five key updates.
- Selectable Display Themes
The original XS20G had one full color display theme, which consisted of color text against a light background. The KG-XS20G Plus now has a new THEME menu item with with four options, labeled WHITE-1, WHITE-2, BLACK-1, and BLACK-2. These themes are designed to closely match the KG-935G. For those who want to keep the theme from the original XS20G, the name of the theme is now WHITE-2. The default theme for the KG-XS20G Plus is now BLACK-2. - Night Mode Function
The Plus version adds a new feature called NIGHT mode. When Night Mode is activated, the Bright Active (BRT-ACTV) and Bright Standby (BRT-STBY) values are reduced by 50%, and an icon of a moon is shown in the top icon area of the display to indicate that Night Mode is active. The Night Mode feature can be assigned to a programmable function key (PF key) for instant activation. - Assignable TDR Function Key
In addition to the TDR key on the radio, the TDR function itself can now be assigned to a programmable function key (PF key) for instant switching between single and dual display. - Faster Channel Switching
The speed of changing channels via the front panel channel knob has been increased. - Power On Beep Eliminated
When the original KG-XS20G is first powered on, it emits a power-on beep. In a recent customer survey, there were a number of complaints that the beep was too loud. The beep seemed rather unnecessary to begin with, so rather than reduce the volume, the power-on beep was eliminated entirely.
The best part is the price. It hasn't changed. The KG-XS20G Plus is the same price as the original.
As of today, November 21, 2022 the original KG-XS20G is officially retired. From this point forward all customers who purchase a KG-XS20G will receive the Wouxun KG-XS20G Plus. Price: $199.99
