Description / Wouxun KG-UV8H Dual Band Amateur Radio (8 watts / 2m/70cm / 3200 mAh battery)

Want supercharged transmit power in the palm of your hand? The Wouxun KG-UV8H is the radio you need! This dual band, dual frequency UHF/VHF amateur handheld transceiver powers up the wattage, features, display and durability, and it does it all without draining your wallet!

The KG-UV8H operates on 6 watts UHF and up to 8 watts VHF. It has all the standard features of the popular KG-UV8D, and adds NOAA weather channels, weather alert, and an awesome upgrade to the LCD display.

The KG-UV8H features 999 programmable memory channels with CTCSS/DCS encode/decode, Channel Name edit and display, Dual Standby, DTMF encoding, SOS function, low voltage voice prompt, VOX (Voice Operated Transmit) for hands-free operation and a high illumination flashlight. It also includes the classic built-in Wouxun stopwatch.

The KG-UV8H also has duplex cross-band repeat capability, so you can operate your handheld in full cross-band mode! Transmit on one band while you receive on the other simultaneously. You can also receive two signals at the same time on the same band!

But the KG-UV8H it isn't all about power and function. Wouxun upgraded the display to give the KG UV8H a powerfully pleasing face. The classic Wouxun color LCD screen is now larger, and easier to read, with four selectable display color configurations. The screen has plenty of room to display all the information needed to operate the radio on both bands in any mode. The default display mode features a dark background, but can be switched to a light background if preferred.

The KG UV8H is powered by 7.4v 3200mAh high capacity Li-Ion battery pack for increased uptime on maximum power. It allows you to control output with high or low selectable power options and has a Power Saver Mode to help increase efficiency and preserve battery life.

The Wouxun KG-UV8H includes a 3200mAh rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack, belt clip, removable antenna, wrist strap, desktop charger, AC cord, owner's manual and a one year manufacturer warranty from Wouxun.

Great value
Review by Mike
This is a quality radio at a great price.
Very Satisfied
Review by James
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
Review by Alan
Not the best, not the worst. Average at best.
KG-UV8
Review by KE8OTG
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
Review by Jack
A little difficult to learn all the features. Seems to be very effective once you get it done correctly.
Nice Radio
Review by Jack
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
Review by JB Whyte
Pleasure to Use and Program! Even without software, just faster with it.
Great radio for the price.
Review by Gizzer
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
Review by Craig
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
Review by Rob
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!!
