Programming the Wouxun KG-UV920P-A mobile radio with your computer, USB cable and programming software is one thing, but what about programming the radio directly from the unit itself? The buttons are not very intuitive and the manual leaves a lot to be desired. Where do you begin?

It seems complicated, but it isn't really, once you know how it's done.

How to program a frequency into the Wouxun KG-UV920P-A

• First, make sure the radio is on and in stand by mode.
• Press the 1 (BAND) key to choose the side of the radio you want to program (Side A or Side B)
• Press the 6 (VFO/MR) key repeatedly to toggle between frequency (VFO) and the three channel (MR) modes until you enter Frequency Mode
• Once you enter Frequency Mode, press the 2 (MHZ) key. The display should show a set of hash marks.
• Enter your desired frequency.
• Press the 4 (MEMCH) key to assign the frequency to a channel memory
• Enter the channel number you want to assign to that frequency
• Press the red menu button to store the frequency and channel number in the radio.
• Press the 6 key until you are in channel mode
• The channel and frequency are now programmed into your radio.

Repeat these steps for each additional channel and frequency to be programmed.

This procedure can also be used to program the Wouxun KG-UV950 Quad Band Base/Mobile Two Way Radio and the Wouxun KG-B55 Dual Band 2/440 Base Station.

This spring, Vertex Standard announced the new VX-260 series business radios. This series currently consists of two new models destined to eventually replace the VX-231, VX-351 and VX-354.

In this video, Danny Feemster from Buy Two Way Radios introduces you to the new Vertex Standard VX-261 and VX-264 in a side-by-side comparison of their overall layout and features. Both models are now available in UHF and VHF versions.

The Baofeng UV-5R is a very popular dual band amateur handheld radio, with one of the most recognizable form factors in the world. So, when Baofeng released the BF-F8+, many hams naturally assumed it to be identical to the UV-5R in function as well as form, and it is, with one important exception.

What is it? Watch this video to find out, as Danny Feemster of Buy Two Way Radios opens the box and gives you a quick and close look at the one feature of the BF-F8 Plus that sets this Baofeng apart from the UV-5R and the most of its standard variants.

The Tytera MD-280 and MD-380 DMR digital radios support both analog and digital operation with many options, but what about accessories? Are existing audio accessories and other components compatible with these radios or do they require a unique set of their own?

In this video, Danny Feemster from Buy Two Way Radios displays all of the accessories included in the Tytera MD-380 Digital Ham Radio DMR Starter Kit - HT as well as a plethora of other compatible accessories available for both models.
