Wouxun KG-805G Series Questions and Answers

Will the KG-805G work with my current FRS/GMRS radio?

Yes. This radio is fully compatible with all 22 channel FRS, GMRS, or FRS/GMRS combo radios.

Is this a single radio, or a two pack?

Single radio.

This radio is more expensive than other FRS/GMRS radios. Why?

While this radio is easy to use and is compatible with other FRS/GMRS radios, it was designed with power users in mind. It is more durable and has better audio quality than typical consumer radios - basically, it is built like a business radio. It also has advanced features that would usually appeal more to "power users," such as repeater support and the ability to use PC programming software to customize the channels list.

What's the difference between the regular KG-805G and the KG-805G Basic?

There are two versions of this radio, the standard KG-805G and the KG-805G Basic. The difference is the KG-805G Basic costs less, but doesn't provide the ability to change CTCSS/DCS codes (privacy codes) directly from the radio's menu. It is possible to use CTCSS/DCS codes on the Basic version, but you must use the programming software to do so.

We think the KG-805G Basic works best for users who always talk within the same group of people and very rarely need to make changes to their channels once they're working. For example, if you're going to buy a few radios for you and your friends to use on camping trips, you're probably better off saving a few bucks and getting the Basic. If you frequently meet up with new groups of people for motorcycle riding, or travel often and want to use various repeaters, you should get the standard version.

Does the Wouxun KG-805G require a license?

Yes. Even though this radio is fully compatible with license free FRS radios, it has several features that make it fall under the GMRS service and not FRS. Some of these features are: 4 watts of power (FRS limit is 2), removable antenna (FRS must be fixed), and repeater support (FRS doesn't support repeaters). Check out our GMRS licensing FAQ page for more info.

Why should I buy the KG-805G radio from you?

Lots of reasons! In short, we've been in the radio business for a long time (since 2002) and we do things the right way. Our staff is here to help if you have a question or a problem.

First, kudos to the crew at buy two way radios. Before ordering, I had several chats. They know their stuff.
Second, after only four days of playing with it, I have found the 805G-basic is going to be my primary carry-around radio for a while. I went three days betwixt charges (about 15 hours standby with light traffic each day), clear sound, great urban distance superior to my Midland 290.
Why is it a better radio?
Detachable antenna.
Much longer battery life.
Greater range/power.
Friendlier UI.
Repeater capable @ 4w.
Programmable.
Extras that are pure icing:
FM radio programmed.
Multi color choice in LED display and bilingual talk-to-you prompts (including the all important OFF)
