  • Wouxun KG-935G Plus programming and menu options

    Wouxun KG-935G Plus Channel WizardThe Wouxun KG-935G Plus is an extremely powerful and versatile portable handheld GMRS radio designed for power users who want maximum performance coupled with maximum functionality. Although it is nearly identical to the original KG-935G in outward appearance and core functions, it includes significant upgrades to existing features and introduces new ones, several of which are also new to two way radios altogether.

    As with the original, the 935G Plus transmits on the 15 high powered GMRS simplex channels and the 8 repeater channels at up to 5.5 watts. It can also transmit on Channels 8-14, albeit at low output power, in compliance with FCC rules. This is not one of those minimum wattage, consumer grade, "bubble pack" GMRS walkie talkies found on the shelf at a big box store. The KG-935G Plus is a professional grade, portable handheld GMRS powerhouse.

    Programming the KG-935G Plus
    As it is with all Wouxun GMRS radios we carry, the KG-935G Plus is fully programmable from a PC using a programming cable and the Wouxun KG-935G Plus programming software or directly from the keypad of the radio itself. In fact, while customizing the original KG-935G from the keypad is fairly easy overall, The KG-935G+ is now even easier, thanks to a brand new feature introduced with this model - the Channel Wizard.

    Direct from the radio
    If you already know how to program new channels and frequencies into the Wouxun KG-935G or another Wouxun radio, you're all set. If not, or if you are new to programming radios altogether, no worries. The KG-935G Plus owners manual is specifically written to get you up to speed quickly. The manual is written in plain English with instructions that are easy to understand. To make it even easier and faster, you can use the Channel Wizard.

    Using the Channel Wizard
    The KG-935G Plus has a built in wizard to make is super easy to program a channel into the radio. Called the Channel Wizard, this is a new function that allows you to quickly and easily program a new channel or modify an existing channel direct from the keypad of the radio itself. With the Channel Wizard, you can add or clone new channels into the radio in mere seconds. You can also change the settings in any existing channel. The wizard lets you do all of this without scrolling through the menu to find and set each individual channel option, and without the need for programming software.

    There are two ways to access the Channel Wizard. The standard method is to hold the MENU button down for 3 seconds. This will take you directly into it. The second method is to press [MENU] + [6] + [1] and the screen will display: CH-WIZARD. There are ten menu functions in the Channel Wizard, each with their own sub-menu. Go to the first menu item and press [MENU] to enter its sub-menu. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys to choose the option you want from that sub-menu, then press [MENU] to enter your choice. This will take you back to the Channel Wizard menu to go to the next or previous Channel Wizard menu function.

    The last Channel Wizard menu function is [SAVE-MODE]. You must choose this function to save your channel settings and add, clone or save your channel to the radio. You can choose to save your channel and create another channel or save the channel and exit the Channel Wizard.

    Of course, you can opt to enter and save a channel or frequency independently through the individual menu items instead. While not as fast as the Channel Wizard, this method does allow you tweak a specific channel setting as needed.

    The KG-935G Plus menu consists of 62 items. Default settings are bold.

    Programming with software
    The KG-935G Plus uses the same Wouxun PCO-001 USB programming cable that works with the KG-805G, KG-905G and KG-935G. Refer to the cable driver installation instructions for more information.

    Of course, the Wouxun KG-935G Plus programming software is specific to this radio and is currently available for Windows PCs only. The programming software is located under the Downloads tab on the Wouxun KG-935G Plus product page at Buy Two Way Radios.

    The KG-935G Plus operates in much the same way as other Wouxun GMRS handheld radios with full keypads, displays and menus. If you already have a KG-935G or other Wouxun radio that is field configurable, operating the KG-935G Plus is about the same. Although some keys on the keypad my be different in label and function from some of the other models, they are not difficult to to use once you understand what they do.

  • Wouxun KG-935G and KG-935G Plus Feature Comparison

    Wouxun KG-935G and KG-935G Plus ComparisonWouxun just added another Plus model in its line of GMRS radios with the introduction of the KG-935G Plus. While it does retain all of the key features of the original KG-935G, this new version adds more than just "Plus" to the name. It's a major upgrade.

    Just how major is it? Well, there are so many updates and new features, we had to create a chart for a visual comparison between the two models. And here it is. The following chart compares the differences in functionality between the original KG-935G and the KG-935G Plus.

  • Announcing the Wouxun KG-XS20G Plus!

    Wouxun KG-XS20G Mobile GMRS Two Way RadioFrom 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

  • The new and improved Wouxun KG-1000G PLUS is here!

  • Announcing the Wouxun KG-1000G Plus GMRS Mobile Radio!

    WOuxun-KG-1000G Plus Mobile GMRS Two Way RadioWhen we first introduced the Wouxun KG-1000G back in December of 2020, we had a vague idea that it would get a lot of attention from the GMRS community. Little did we realize just how popular it would become. Of course, there is always room for improvement, and we've received a lot of great feedback from fans of the KG-1000G with suggestions on how it could be enhanced to make it even better. As fans ourselves, we listened and got to work, collaborating with Wouxun to create a mobile and base station radio that takes the KG-1000G to the next level. Now, we are excited to unveil the next generation of this series, the KG-1000G Plus!

    We don't want mess too much with what is already a good thing. The old saying that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" certainly applies here. For this reason, the KG-1000G Plus is essentially the same radio as the original, plus a few exciting tweaks and upgrades to fine-tune the GMRS radio experience.

    What are these changes?

    Wouxun-KG-1000G Plus Mobile GMRS Two Way RadioBefore we dive into what is different, let's take a moment to cover what isn't. When we say it's "essentially the same", well, it really is. This is the exact same hardware as the original. If you already have an original KG-1000G radio, there's not much of a learning curve here, and it won't require any changes or upgrades to your existing antennas, mounts and other accessories.

    The core feature set and functions are the same. It has 30 GMRS channels, including 8 GMRS repeater channels, 7 NOAA weather channels, dual mode operation, multi-band receive, CTCSS/DCS scan and detection, the works. If its a standard feature on the KG-1000G, you'll find it on the Plus, as well. No changes there. We certainly don't want to mess up a good thing!

    So, what's changed?

    Usability and Consistency

    We've released several exclusive Wouxun GMRS radios since the original KG-1000G, and we've learned a lot in the process. Each model has had a slightly more refined user experience, customized for GMRS.

    The menu, button and function names on the original KG-1000G were consistent with similar amateur radio models. Some amateur features remained in the menu even though they weren't useful for GMRS, and some button and function names were somewhat cryptic and difficult to understand without a manual.

    With the KG-1000G Plus, we've changed the naming to be more consistent with other recent models. We've also changed some function names to eliminate confusion. As an example, the term "BAND" was used to refer multiple separate features. Now, switching between areas A/B on the front of the radio is done by pressing an AREA button, and BAND is reserved for changing between frequency bands.

    Physical/Cosmetic
    Wouxun KG-1000G Plus Top ButtonsThere are also a few minor physical changes to the Plus. The most noticeable change is in the four button array on the top of the front panel. The original KG-1000G has four buttons. Three are the labeled A, B, and C programmable buttons and the fourth is labeled with a graphical key, which signifies the button activates the Lock function. The KG-1000G Plus still has the four buttons, but the fourth is now a programmable button labeled "D". This button is no longer "locked" to the LOCK function, but can be assigned to any of the PF key functions, including LOCK.

    Wouxun KG-1000G Plus Area and Weather Mode ButtonThe BAND button on the front panel was renamed to AREA. A weather icon was also added to this AREA button. Some users did not realize a long press of this button would activate weather mode, so the icon was added as a visual indicator.

    In addition to the front panel, a few changes were made to the hand microphone. The MAIN button was renamed to AREA, the BAND label on the number 1 key was replaced with WX and now activates weather mode, B/SW on the number 3 key was replaced with BAND, MEMCH on the 4 key was relabeled CH-ADD, H/L (High/Low Power) on the 5 key changed to PWR, the VFO/MR text on the 6 key was renamed to MODE, and SET-D on the 7 key was renamed RPT.

    Audio
    We received great reports of the audio quality on the KG-1000G, but Wouxun found a way to make it even better! Don't expect to hear a major difference, but some improvments have been made to the transmit audio.

    Menu Options
    Some menu options have been renamed and reordered. Generally, we attempted to group items in a way that makes more sense and name items more consistently with the newer Wouxun handheld GMRS models. As an example, you can change the scan mode using the SCANMODE menu option instead of SC-REV.

    New menu options have been added for several functions that were previously only available as programmable key assignments. Examples are WORKMODE, TDR, CH-ADD, and TX-POWER.

    The OFFSET menu option was removed and the SFT-D menu label was changed to "REPEATER" with options for ON and OFF. This is similar to the Wouxun handheld GMRS radios and enables transmitting to the repeater offset automatically if tuned to a valid GMRS frequency.

    Menu options have been added for some functions that were previously only accessible in the programming software. Some examples of this are DTMF delay, duration and interval features and the hold time for repeat.

    The Priority Channel can now be set using a new PRI-SAVE menu option. This sets the priority channel to the currently active channel. PRI-SAVE is also available as a PF (programmable) key option.

    The Priority Channel can now be quickly accessed by using the new PRI-SEL menu option. Previously, some users found it cumbersome to switch to the priority channel after hearing activity. PRI-SEL is also available as a PF key option for even quicker access.

    Scanning
    Wouxun KG-1000G Plus Front PanelA special mode has been added to the Priority Scan feature that allows for disabling the priority scan during RX. Previously if Priority Scan was enabled and activity was detected on the priority channel, this would be heard immediately, even if it meant interrupting an active RX. The PRI-SCAN menu item (formerly PRICH-SW) now has options: OFF, ON-ALWYS and ON-STBY. The ON-STBY option is new and means that priority scan is only active when the area is on standby.

    As a side note, Scan mode now works in weather mode.

    Real Time Squelch Adjustment

    Changing the SQUELCH option now adjusts the squelch in real time instead of first requiring you to save the menu option. This allows you to dial-in (or out) the appropriate squelch level if a weak signal is currently being received.

    Wouxun KG-1000G Plus Hand MicrophoneNavigation
    Pressing EXIT while editing a menu item will now return to the menu instead of exiting the menu completely. This works similar to the Wouxun handheld GMRS radios.

    Weather mode can now be accessed on either A or B areas of the KG-1000G Plus. Previously weather mode was only accessible on the A area.

    The arrow keys can be pressed during scan mode to change the scan direction. This previously only worked in TO mode but now also works in CO mode.

    Display Icons
    For receive-only channels, a "-" indicator is no longer shown on the display.

    An indicator has been added to the display that is shown when weather mode is active.

    Programming Software
    An "Area Message" field has been added to the programming software. This allows for customizing the message that is displayed when the radio is powered on, as well as the text that is shown on the inactive area when TDR is set to OFF. The maximum message length is 8 characters - perfect for your GMRS callsign!

    Various other items have also been updated in the programming software. These changes primarily involve renaming some items or reformatting them to produce a better user experience.

    Programmable Function Key Options

    The front panel programmable buttons and the hand Mic PF key are now assignable to all of the same PF key options. Gone are the limited options for specific programmable keys. You can assign any available option to any available key!

    That's not all. Changes were made to the PF key options. For maximum flexibility and easier identification of available functions, new options were added and existing options were renamed. Check the table below for a full list.
