Great Radio...Great Company to buy it fr
Originally bought an older version from here but it had the squelch issue. Even though I had it for a while these great folks swapped it for the new version which works great. I use this for camping/hiking and just all around repeater and sat work. This model is more expensive than many other but here you get a great display that my tired eyes love. I don't have to look for my glasses to use it. Easy to program with CHIRP (very easy!) and a great size. I use it hiking in fringe areas with a Nagoya 771 antenna on the HT and a simple roll up J-pole ant I toss in a tree. The battery eliminator makes using in a car nice which is what I did before I grabbed a mobile radio. All around it's hard to go wrong with this nice radio.
OUTSTANDING customer service!
I bought the version of this radio that had the squelch issue. I discovered the issue recently when I read a review mentioning it, several months after my purchase. I contacted customer service via email, thinking it had been too long since my purchase to have it replaced. I was wrong. They offered to swap out my unit. EXTREMELY happy with the service. I'll be buying all the radios I can from these guys from now on if they have them in stock. About the radio. Breeze to program even without using a computer, great looking display, and pretty good battery life (doesn't last for days like the baofeng, but it definitely gets the job done).
A lot of radio at a very low cost. Highly recommended!
Use the UV8D for amateur radio repeaters. Love the many features and small size.
Love this radio, love the service.
I use this radio every day. Great little radio.
Quality all the way!
Although still learning all this radio can do (new to the hobby), it is packed with features and has the "feel" of a well constructed, quality radio. The framework of the radio is durable and all pro.
Wouxun KG-UV8D
I love the radio. No problems so far. The features are great and so was the price. Programming the radio is simple and the manual is written so that performing most all operations is easily explained. A great product and I love the feature of an FM radio which you can listen to in the field and calls still come in as it mutes the radio. I also like the voice prompter that explains the functions and channel selections. A great color display thats easy to read. I have a friend who has the Baofeng and after looking at my radio and the manual said that the Wouxun is much easier to program and has a much easier manual to explain functions. He also liked the display and compactness of my Wouxun. He said it feels like a more sturdy radio than his. I personally would spend the extra money for the Wouxun because I think you get a much better radio.
I like the radio, I wish transmit audio was higher
Public safety use. Wish I could set light to go off while scanning. Wish I could continue scanning if it stops on a channel I don't want to hear.
KG-UV8D Very Nice
First hand held purchased in many years. Worth the price.
It's a good radio for the price
The shipping was quick. I use indoors or at night, outdoors I am unable to see the screen to operate any of the menue functions. Hard to see inside the car during the day as well. Programing software is good, I like the radio but be aware it's almost useless outdoors during the daylight hours. I would recommend this radio with the understanding of it's daylight limitations.
To much whiz not enough bang.
Lots of nice feature's scratchy reception is the only drawback for me. I wish I could recommend.
