I'm so glad to see more radios come with USB-C charging. Thanks for the review Hayden!

[@HamRadioDX]

Thanks Dusty!

[@seanb2273]

I'm so glad you did the crossband repeat testing. Good insight on what to expect if buying for that purpose. Looking for a crossband repeater so I can walk around the house and yard on an ht but have the full reach of my main setup.

[@marsradio]

EXCELLENT review...thank you!

[@HamRadioDX]

Glad it was helpful!

[@photonthief]

Great review Hayden. Wouxun make nice radios for the money. My first decent handheld was a KG-UV9D Plus. It's been a great little radio.

[@HAMFunko4pdi]

Wow thank you for this video Haydon, I have been searching for a full duplex radio to do portable Satilights. I was searching for the Holy Grail of HT's the Kennwood th-72a but this looks like it will work just as well and have 4 bands too. I already ordered one and I will keep you posted on how it works for that.

[@gordonpearce]

I used to work sats many years ago. These days I'm lazy and use DV or Allstar. But, always worth remembering, you can just use two HTs...

[@HAMFunko4pdi]

I have tried but on Sats like the ISS the 3rd harmonic of the 2 meter is right ontop of the receive frequency. This causes a desenseatizing of the second radio and just muddles up the ability to get anything coming back which is the reason you have two radios. The transmit of the 2 meter side is 145.990. multiply that by 3 and what do you get? 437.9000 guess what the downlink is? 437.8000. See the problem? Thus a full duplex radio is a must so you can hear yourself coming back. I will try this radio and keep you posted on how it turns out.@@gordonpearce

[@gordonpearce]

I do see. Can't remember the FM birds I used to work. But didn't have these issues. Had QSOs with a mate Sydney to Melbourne out the back of the hotel while traveling for work using 2 HTs worked pretty well in the days before internet DV. All good fun. I'm interested to see how you go. I might buy one also. Anything USB-C charge and CHIRP / Linux programmable is great.

Just got my Q10, this was by far the easyest radio I've ever programed.

[@wushock92]

Impressive audio quality. I don't have much use for 6 meters or 220 locally so I can't justify buying one of these just for the added aircraft receive. Well done, mate! de WØRHP

[@JamesHannibalKH2SR]

Great video! Does anyone know if there is a software or hardware MARS mod for this HT? Hopefully it can be done via CHIRP. Also its a shame that the GPS cant currently be used for APRS. Hopefully that can be added via a firmware update.

[@HamRadioDX]

Thanks James!

[@BrianNC81]

hold down 2 and power on, type in password 1445. this puts the radio in unlock mode. You can now use it on GMRS/MURS etc. to lock it again turn it off press 1 key while turning radio on

Its a pricey but I love it and my Wouxun KGUV9PX. :) I hope to get one of these when I plan to go to the US in May next year. Also gonna try to make it to Xenia, Dayton Ohio.🙏🍻👍🇦🇺

That's a cool HP analyzer you have there. Do you have a video on that? If not I would love to see it. Also, I think those are pretty cool ht's. Quadband, cross repeat, duplexing, and I love seeing more usb-c.

[@HamRadioDX]

Yeah mate, it's a HP8920A. I also have a HP8924C. Here's a video on it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2TVnIOslsmgeNU

[@kimedwards3937]

We have the same radio in pommy land called the KG-Q332 50mhz 144mhz 440mhz. It only has 3 power levels. They also do a KG-Q336 with 70mhz (4m) 144mhz 440mhz. Both radio don't have fcc or CE but have the UKCA approval. Think UKCA wont allow ultra power level. 73s G8GRL

[@KH6WI]

Thanks for the scientific testing! The de-sense means it's a no-go for me working sats. My UV9D Mate de-senses the 70cm when TXing on 2m. I'm going to stick with my Kenwood D72 for sats for now.

[@HamRadioDX]

Yeah a bit of a bummer. My Radioddity also does the same. It would def be fine receiving on 2m and TXing on 70cm, but the other way around is a bit too much

[@bryantwalley]

12:15 thats nuts. The button should activate the band it is beside even if you swap them.

[@bryantwalley]

Ok commented a minute early.

[@ricklopez3554]

My question is can we communicate on GMRS please let me know

[@YoramRotbach]

Can this radio receive while transmitting? I'm thinking about using this radio for LEO Ham Sats on FM. the requirement is to be able to hear the downlink while transmitting on the uplink. The fact that this radio can do cross band repeat, makes me hopeful that this is possible.

[@HamRadioDX]

Hi mate, yes it can. Full duplex

[@frankENZC]

Thanks for the video. Would this model be good for working satellites, just using just this one HT? Thanks, and 73 de WA3RSL

[@HamRadioDX]

It will work, but there is some desense when using the crossband feature as per the test in the video.

[@kevinkc3onohelijeepworld]

Hayden your suppose to use distilled water for under water testing ☺️wish it had sideband 50 MHz and I d buy one. Has any offered a 6m handheld with sideband ??

[@HamRadioDX]

That's a very good question - I know you can get 10m HT's with SSB, never seen one with 6m SSB

[@vk6radio]

Yes the AEA MX-6S was a hand held 6m rig back around early 2000s N6XQ [SK] worked JA and EY8CQ in Tajikistan with 6m handheld from Northern VK6 in early 2001. "" So I decided on the AEA DX-Handy 6 meter SSB/CW hand-held (no longer sold in the US) as my main rig. It puts out 1 W and the receiver is sensitive enough, but it has limited frequency cover The next opportunity to operate was from Exmouth (OG78) [North V6] on the northwest cape. Here, I stood on the second-story balcony of the motel and used a 1 /4-wave whip on the hand-held. I had my biggest pileup. The hand-held would not operate split, so I requested the JAs call by prefix. I worked 56 Japanese during the next half hour and then was called by a ??8CQ. I thought to myself, “This JA can’t send his prefix correctly or his transmitter is not initially keying right.” It then sunk in that this was not a JA, but rather EY8CQ in Tajikistan. What a thrill it was to work someplace I had no idea where it was, but knowing it was exotic DX."" @@HamRadioDX

[@bitemykrank1970]

It's a special radio, full of chinese magiks.....I see it went from 100% power in the setup menu test, to 101% power in the AM testing....I like that self generating charge idea. New technology is wonderful isn't it? Does it come with wafer's? Is it albatross flavoured?

[@WaynesWorld69]

I'd need to upgrade to Advanced to use 6m but this could replace my Icom IC-T90A. Very nice. Wonder if I could buy this for myself as a Christmas present 😂

[@HamRadioDX]

Standards (in Australia) are allowed the full 6m band

[@EverettVinzant]

I suspect you’re not talking about operating in the US as Advanced tickets haven’t existed for 20+ years (you can’t test to get one, people that have them are grandfathered) and the technician class (the first ticket you get) is allowed operation in the 6m band.

[@WaynesWorld69]

@@EverettVinzant I'm in Australia and hold a Foundation license which is our first license. It's almost not worth getting the Standard license and just going straight to Advanced. Standard only gives 2 extra bands whereas Advanced gives access to lots more.

I'd like to start out with the cool shit! lol. What the best until to do and listen to everything? From my understanding with all units unlocked the Wouxun KG-UV9GX is the best.

[@jamesloder7241]

Great review. Is there a technical reason why 1.25 band is so under powered?

[@HamRadioDX]

Probably the RF module isn’t broadband enough for full output power at 220 (I think it would use at least two, one for 50 MHz and the other for 2/70).

[@HamRadioDX]

But that’s just a guess

[@jamesloder7241]

Thanks. This seems to be an issue with many triband/quads with 220.

Bogus FCC ID number. If you take a look at the FCC database, it is for a different radio and only type accepted for Part 15. Yet again, a manufacturer trying to play the game without understanding the implications. This is a BAD HT

[@theforcefield3534]

If it's in the FCC database, it's a real FCC ID. According to the documentation in the FCC ID database, the FCC ID 2A6DTET003 is indeed for the KG-Q10H. Of course, you are correct, it is only type accepted for Part 15. Since it is an amateur radio, that is all it needs to be type accepted for. There is no requirement for a radio to be type accepted for Part 97. This is because the Amateur Radio Service is intended for experimental hobby radios, which means that hams can build and transmit on their own homemade radios without the need to submit them for testing and certification. And this is why hams are required to study and test to obtain a license. They need to prove they can competently design and build their own radios safely and without creating harmful interference. Hence, the Wouxun KG-Q10H is legal for use on the Amateur Radio Bands.

[@TheZimberto]

As is usual, neutered 1.25m output. Spend the extra $5 on a proper PA, China, I beg you. No true APRS, it's proprietary nonsense. No digital is also sad. Another potentially interesting radio that leaves too many boxes unchecked
