Best GMRS radio out there! Full 50 out the back. Link two together to make a repeater. It's an fm radio. It's a scanner. Dual VFO. Speaker in the mic. Detachable faceplate. Good audio. Superhet. It's a rad radio man. For sure. Had this since it first came out. The only drawback is the mic audio is low. You got to get on the mic. Put that mouth to the mic. Be great to have a desk mic with this radio. They do make a wireless mic for this chassis, but it needs work ... audio is distorted. They make a MURS version too.

[@ChappyTrails]

Can’t believe I ordered this just this morning and didn’t see this review and missed the discount code. Such is life, lol. Thank you for the review. Very in-depth.

[@rkelly5803]

I've just made my first GMRS contact the other day. Had the license for a while but never made any contacts until I got my Motorola xts 2500 programmed up. Might have to pick one of these up for my pickup.

Love my Wouxun KG-935G Plus and Cant wait to get my KG-1000G Plus I just pre ordered Today and also pre ordered the programming cable the magnet mount the clamp mount and the Wouxun 5.5 Gain Antenna 3:31 @HamRadioConcepts

[@mawnpawz2009]

I have the KG1000G plus I only can get 27 -30 watts, i do like the radio but 20 watts short just don't cut it for me

[@johnathanasiou9284]

Rig looks awesome & well built, already own a Wouxun KG-UV6D 2m/70cm HT which is a great performer, also nicely built & still going strong some 8 years later so have very good experiences owning Wouxun. Sadly, we don't have GMRS here in VK, ZL, YJ or 9Mx but an alternative service called UHF CB limited to 5W maximum, similar to our 27MHz CB service. The UHF CB class licence prohibits us from modifying a GMRS/MURS rig plus from memory the 440MHz band is allocated to VicPol APCO & other law enforcement which is all encrypted digital so no hope that VK will adopt GMRS anytime soon. Cool video Eric, the site is definitely worth visiting & thanks for posting your top quality content!

[@mikecricket113]

Dude you rock! My Buddy and I were looking into this radio.

[@DiggerX]

I have the KG1000G PLUS radio and use it as a Base station for my GMRS station, I have the Retivis 5 element Yagi @30ft. and I work stations all over NE Ohio on 50 watts FM, it's Awesome. I'm going to buy another 5 element Yagi and stack them for an antenna experiment this spring when I put up my new tower for my Sirio SY4 Yagi for 11 meters.

[@robertmeyer4744]

very good ! love that Nagoya antenna .do a video on that when you get it going. I got the Nagoya NA-771G on my HT GMRS. and I love it. so much better then stock antenna. also the Abbree 42in foldable is impressive. josh (ham radio crash course) did a review on them . I have that HT retevis RB 27 GMRS same as baofeng G11S that one green. just turn off the ctcss codes . came on . easy fix and program from windows PC. the UV5R cable works. for a cheap GMRS starter radio they great. also on mobile GMRS radios you can not transmit on ch 8 to 14. only receive.FCC rules. low power and narrow band with only. GMRS is $35 for licence now. FRS is free and MURS is free. thank you for supporting all radio ! 73's

[@chrisd8715]

Excellent info... Keep at it! Maybe a video on GMRS repeater setup? The Retevis System.

[@seanwieland9763]

The Wouxun KG-UV980P quad band radio is a tank, and when they were first being sold for only $200 at R&L they were a steal. Now that inflation has kicked in, and the quality popularly known, both the ham 980P and GMRS version KG-1000G are still great bang for the buck - even at $350. There isn’t a better GMRS radio on the market.

[@richhoule3462]

Love my 980P

[@felixint]

is not gmrs ?

[@donmontalvo1]

The Wouxun KG-1000G Plus was just released. No, they did not fix the lack of dimmer capability. #sigh

[@donmontalvo1]

It's indeed the best GMRS mobile radio. Hope they revise it to provide a way to dim the display. Otherwise it is perfect.

73 from London YZI. Keep up the great work.

[@johnfarmer2674]

I’d love to see a video demonstration on manually programming local repeater channels on the hand mic. I’ve been having some issues figuring it out and could really use the help. Haven’t found any other videos going over comprehensive instructional detail on how to do so.

[@mikecricket113]

So lucky you have it.

[@WH6FQE]

Can the KG1000G Plus be paired with a KG1000G for a repeater? I have a "new in box" KG1000G that I have never installed, but have not been able to find a second matching unit to make a repeater with it.

[@Hindukushsailing]

I new to Ham Radio. Could you make a show explaining HF with SSB on a sailboat. Using backstay as antenna. I watched your episode on sending emails and was wondering if you can receive weather grib files at sea with that or would you still need a Pactor Modem? Ok thank you

[@shawnwade302]

I would love to hear your opinions on a indoor or attic gmrs antenna. I have a friend who's a gmrs radio operator and he would like to set up an antenna inside of his apartment. Thanks.

[@billr55]

Nice thing about gmrs antennas is they are so small and easy to build and work with.

[@kchedville]

I would buy one but with all the reviews I been watching -- it lacks hitting the 50 Watts they advertise .... SAD!!!!!!

[@butler386]

What would you recommend as a base starter kit? Type, brand etc. That farm model sounded pretty good to me. What do you think.

[@HamRadioConcepts]

I think thats about the most complete package you can get

[@patm5165]

So Eric, That compact antenna will receive all those frequencies and transmit on GMRS?

[@Mgoodson]

Can you do a video on install on your ford f-150?

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Whats better the CompacTenna Scan-III or the LMR-I the scan 3 is 149 and the LMR-1 is 200 bucks but there is no information on the LMR-I antenna ? @HamRadioConcepts

[@mikecricket113]

Want to get this as a base radio. Keep in downstairs for use like the old days with the CB in the living room. So everyone can use it.

[@alvintarrer6914]

you've came along since block house ham shack,I like antina

[@HamRadioConcepts]

you mean my old rental i was at for 11 years?

[@alvintarrer6914]

@@HamRadioConcepts yes sir

[@HamRadioConcepts]

@@alvintarrer6914 Yes... That old rental house I as at for 11 years really was a pity, but now I have purchased our forever home which is only 16 years old, with a pool and large shed, and garage... Lots of premium upgrades to this house. But It is tough to afford my own house in this market these days... I dont ever forget where I came from.. I grew up very young in a family with alcoholism which then turned into having to move quite frequently because of not paying the bills.. Thankfully, I learned from that, and my wife and I have never been homeless.. That rental was cheap but it was very old.. We were there 11 years, and that is a lot of time in one rental house. Now, I hope to be in our own home forever.. Thank you for the notice of where I used to be and where I am now... 73

Amen brother, God bless 73

[@kurttuttle1817]

Nice review. How active are the GMRS repeater/simplex freq's where you are at? Around here (Augusta Ga) from what I see, they are like the ham repeater/simplex, dead. Also, unlike ham repeaters where you can find the tones to get into them, gmrs here is you have to be a member of the group that runs the repeater. Now that might change in the future. Again a nice review.

[@HamRadioConcepts]

Here, i have 1 main GMRS repeater that is linked to the Southeast US.. It is located in Ft.Pierce Florida.. Other areas are not that fortunate I guess...

[@RynardMooreVstar1]

Nice vid and will probably pick up a unit down the road. Question: Are the Nagoya or Compact Antennas ground plane dependent or independent? Reason why I ask is on my vehicle, I'm limited to ground plane independent antennas. Thanks and 73s.

[@HamRadioConcepts]

I think they are... metal body or chasis is preferred.

[@twong689]

Hi! As you talk about the manual, it resonates with me that the English translation I have come across so far is horrible. What a waste of paper. My MD 380 as well as Baofeng UV-5R all misleading.

[@togeika]

Can you do the mobile install follow-up?

[@HamRadioConcepts]

Yes

[@mountainman9380]

Hi Eric how are you doing today. Hope you're well.👍👍🙏🙏

[@marytryon8314]

Is this a good transceiver for a newbie? I just got my Technician license and am really confused.

[@HamRadioConcepts]

This is GMRS, not ham radio It’s in between. I would suggest to focus on ham radio first

[@waa2100]

Link of the compact antenna please

[@shawnwade302]

I believe this radio also comes in a MURS and Ham radio flavors.

[@thebear6751]

Can you show us the install on the f150

[@mussieTil]

Does it pickup CB channels ?

[@DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

Scrambler Mode is only for use be the Police/Fire/Ambulance hams are not allowed to use Scrambler Mode.

[@HamRadioConcepts]

I know.. But are GMRS or FRS operators allowed to use it?

[@ehayes5217]

Nice, thanx for review & 73 de WA4ELW in TN 🇺🇸 dit dit 🤓

[@drsysop]

That radio can be unlocked to transmit on all other frequencies also but not recommended unless you have a license to do so.

[@SoDoSoPa-ShiTpaTown]

Can you explain how?

[@David-bg3ct]

No it can't

[@xeon_one]

Can you help us hams like me that live in big cities like New York city Don't have access to Is the roof no yards. Just everything has to be mounted to the window It's not ideal but that's what i have. You think you could do an episode or a Podcast about this this small problem that we have we have I see you do a lot of reviews for a lot of other things maybe this could help us people with this small problem very appreciative thank you. 73 kc2bgn

Funny...You use it SO Much , Everything is STILL in it's Original Packaging !!!

[@HamRadioConcepts]

I put it back in the box for a while, I had it for a while before I made the video. And also, I just took it out of my work truck after using it the last year, because I got a new Nissan and I have nowhere to mount it. So it is not going to sit here. If you want to buy it, i'd selll it to you for $50. Box and all.

[@SubiSkank]

@@HamRadioConcepts shoot I’d give you $50 in a heartbeat and pay for shipping!! I’ve got a Wouxun UV9PX but this is the radio I’ve really been thinking about getting!!
