Great value
This is a quality radio at a great price.
Very Satisfied
The KG - UV8h dual band ht is as advertised. I love the wider color screen and the different themes available. The radio works better than I had expected it to. The 3200MAH battery gives the radio a heavy solid feel. I bought the usb cable to be able to charge my radio that way but the connector is not the same and does not fit into the back of the charging cradle. I addressed this with the company and Anthony was very helpful. I have an iMac Apple computer and so the programing cable does not work with the software provided by the company or with chirp at this time. I'm sure programming ability through chirp at least will be available eventually for this new radio. I am brand new to 2m/70cm radio. This is my first purchase of an HT. So I am pleased to say that even a newbie such as myself, while following the available instructions, should be able to program the radio manually. I have had no problems with programing the basics. Frequency, Memory Channels, Shift, CTCSS Tones, Squelch etc. I have had no problems operating the radio and from a new person's perspective, can recommend the UV8H without question. It feels solid and well made, and the company has been great with any questions.
Ok Radio
Not the best, not the worst. Average at best.
KG-UV8
It's a nice radio for the price and I would recommend it to anyone. The sound quality is good and it's easy to program with the radio key pad. The programming software is also simple to program your favorite feqencies in the software and then install to the radio. The only issue I see is the antenna, it could be better but is does a ok job hitting the repeaters. Would I buy it again? Yes.
New purchase
A little difficult to learn all the features. Seems to be very effective once you get it done correctly.
Nice Radio
I paired this radio with a Nagoya NA-24J 2m/70cm Dual Band Antenna (SMA Female). I picked this as a Ham radio and wanted to monitor GMRS on a Part 95 legal radio. A plus for me is it use same battery as the KG-905G (GMRS radio). I'm still learning a lot about the programing features, it is easy to program via software for channel line up with your PC.
Very Easy to Use
Pleasure to Use and Program! Even without software, just faster with it.
Great radio for the price.
This is the first quality hand held that I purchased. I am happy with what I received for the price that I paid. Great radio and would purchase again
Great entry level radio with room to grow
I think this is a great first radio. I'm a little biased since this is my first amateur HT radio. However, this radio feels well made and already withstood a couple excursions into inclement weather since owning it. The stock antenna is amazingly sensitive beating out a Nagoya 701 when I compared them using the Wouxun KG-905G radios. I do typically keep a Nagoya 771 antenna on this radio but I think the stock on is actually really good. I wish the manual was written in better English or if BTWR would publish their own "better" version. Nobody really talks about it but this radio has two different built-in repeater modes and you can listen and transmit at the same time. During weekly nets I am told my RST is 59. I also wish the "8H Series" software was better. The copy paste hotkey being wrong is really annoying. Bottom line, this radio is well built and has a good stable RF output based on RST reports. I think this radio has lot of potential for beginners.
Amazing HT
I Have the Wouxun UV9D Mate and this one, the UV8H. Both are amazing! But I found the UV8H was much easier to read the screen in daylight. I dont really need or use the extra scanning freqs on the UV9D Mate, so I find myself carrying this one all the time. Simply said, the UV8H is an AMAZING HT!! Fast shipping as well!!
