Let's face it, the CB radio has been largely stuck in a time warp for at least the past 20 years. This is particularly true of handheld models, with their bulky form factors and huge battery packs. However, Wouxun just changed all that with with the introduction of the Wouxun KG-S72C.

In this video clip from Episode 169 of The Two Way Radio Show Podcast, Danny, Anthony and Rick introduce the new Wouxun KG-S72C handheld CB Radio and discuss how it adds modern technology to take the handheld CB into a new generation.

When it comes to handheld CB radios, the power options are somewhat limited to either huge packs of batteries or plug-in power via 12v adapters plugged into vehicles. Not so anymore. The Wouxun KG-S72C has power and charging options that bring CB into the modern world.

In this video clip from Episode 169 of The Two Way Radio Show Podcast, Danny, Anthony and Rick discuss the power and charging options of the new Wouxun KG-S72C handheld CB Radio and why they think this model is a cut above other handheld CB radios currently on the market.

What's the difference between the IP65 and IP67 ratings of the Wouxun S-Series radios? Does it even matter? If so, why?

In this quick video tutorial, Tommy from Buy Two Way Radios explains the different ingress protection (IP) ratings of the Wouxun S-Series radios, including the KG-S72C, KG-S84B, KG-S86B, and KG-S88G and how they effect the operating parameters of each radio.

Programming the KG-S72C
As with other Wouxun radios, the KG-S72C is customizable directly from the keypad of the radio itself. Optional programming software allows you to assign CTCSS tones and DCS codes to the 40 CB channels when using the radio in FM mode. You can also configure other functions and features in the radio.

Direct from the radio
If you already know how to program features into another Wouxun radio, programming the KG-S72C directly from the radio itself is pretty much rote. The only real differences are the menu options themselves.

If you are new to Wouxun handheld radios or configuring a two way radio in general, the KG-S72C owners manual will get you up to speed fast. Unlike many other import radios, this manual is carefully written in plain, simple English with clear instructions that are easy to understand, even when explaining some of the advanced features of the radio.

The KG-S72C menu consists of 43 items. Default settings are bold.

Note: *The menu items in green are available in FM mode only.

Programming with software
The KG-S72C uses the Wouxun PCO-001 USB programming cable that works with the KG-S88G. Refer to the cable driver installation instructions for more information.

Of course, the Wouxun KG-S72G 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-S72C product page at Buy Two Way Radios.

KG-S72C Operation
The KG-S88G is quite similar in features and function to most of the other Wouxun handheld radios, with the exception of the 4-key keypad. Although it seems to be limiting on the surface, 4 key operation allows access to premium features while it simultaneously simplifies control. If you already have another Wouxun radio that is field configurable such as the KG-905G , working the S72C will be a similar experience. Even if you are not familiar with the operation of a 4-key Wouxun radio, it's not difficult to master, once you know how to navigate the menu.

The keys on the keypad and their primary functions are listed below:

The Wouxun KG-S72C is a compact, powerful and rugged CB radio that offers a lot of flexibility and ease of use at a very competitive price. Why settle for those older, behemoth handheld CB radios when you can have something more stylish and with the latest tech available? The answer is simple. Choosing the KG-S72C is a no-brainer.
