The Wouxun KG-UV8D is one of the most exciting new two way radio products of the year. Since its introduction this spring, the KG-UV8D has become an extremely popular handheld and a hot topic of discussion in the ham radio community, with forum topics, blogs and social media groups devoted specifically to this amazingly powerful and affordable radio from Wouxun.
Now there is even more to be excited about. The latest version of the KG-UV8D is available at Buy Two Way Radios, and it includes some nice extras!
First, the KG-UV8D is now available with 2.5k step. Early versions of this radio were only available with a minimum 5k step. Of course, an eventual update to a 2.5k version was expected, and Wouxun recently brought addition of the smaller step to market. But there's more.
How about a bigger battery? The KG-UV8D comes standard with a 1700mAh battery pack in the box. However, for a limited time, Buy Two Way Radios is replacing the stock battery pack with a FREE high capacity battery upgrade! The BLO-009 2600mAh Wouxon Lithium-Ion Battery Pack normally sells for $22.99, but while supplies last, you can get the KG-UV8D with the bigger battery at no extra cost!
There's one more thing. Demo versions of the KG-UV8D featured green A/B and EXIT buttons on the keypad. When Wouxun officially released the radio to market, the buttons were black. Those who were expecting the KG-UV8D to ship with green buttons were disappointed to find they were black.
Well, due to popular demand, Buy Two Way Radios worked with Wouxun to bring back the green buttons, and now we have them! This is a limited run, and we only received one hundred of them, but now you can get a KG-UV8D with green buttons while supplies last. Whether we are able to get more in the future with green buttons depends on the demand. Time will tell. In the meantime, if you want a Wouxun KG-UV8D dual band two way radio with green buttons, now is your chance, before our current stock runs out.
Where to order the new version of the Wouxun KG-UV8D.
Note: If you have more than one KG-UV8D, we now also carry the Wouxun BLO-009 KG-UV8D multi-charger, capable of charging up to six radios and/or battery packs simultaneously!
