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
