My Last & Final Wouxun KG-Q10H Video

[@WR3ND]

Thanks, Scott. I hold your take on these radios in high regard. Cheers.

[@ricdonato4328]

Wow, reading the Q10H specs I was a finger snap away from purchasing one. So, the Yaesu VX6r or Yaesu FT60r may be my next radio. Thank you.

[@JoeFramo-uw9fp]

Thank you Scott for your honesty buyer beware😊

[@miquerto]

That sucks. I'm studying for my technician license, and that was one that was on my short list. Not anymore. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.

[@waterhead1027]

He has a whole series of videos on how to use the Yaesu VX- 6R. If you haven't bought a radio yet, check him out. It's a tank.

[@miquerto]

@@waterhead1027 Nice, I'll do that.

[@mthayer35]

@@miquerto Also check out his videos on the Yaesu Ft-60R, it's $90 to $100 cheaper than the VX-6 but has similiar memory bank management and 1000 channel capacity. I have both and love both I'm just pointing out a less expensive option to get you started.

[@miquerto]

@@mthayer35 Sweet. I'm moving slowly through the study book so I'll have plenty of time to research more radios. ;-)

[@BR20276]

Scott also did a review on the Alinco DJ-VX50T which is a $99 radio and recommended by Scott. That would also be a good starter radio. It doesn't have dual receivers but it does give you a dual watch option that the FT 60 and VX-6R does not have. I have a Yaesu VX-6R and love it. I also have an Alinco DJ-500 which is similar to the Alinco DJ-VX50T and it's a good radio. Good Luck!

I guess I'm one of the lucky few. I will admit that the learning curve is a bit steep, being a old Kenwood F6 user I had to twist my mind a bit. Out of the box, all bands Rx -120 dBm to -124 dBm (just to open squelch, setting 5). Checked the output power (Tx) on all bands, high power setting, came in around 4-watts each. So far the four band receivers seem to have a comparable adjacent rejection to the Kenwood F6. Plan to do a more comprehensive look under the hood when time allows. So, I may be blessed, which considering my luck with radio gear in the past it is refreshing. 73 to all.

[@johnhudson6316]

Thanks for the update. I was just getting ready to make a purchase. Not now.

[@JDubbsadventure]

I did two reviews on the kg q10g first was pretty good. About a month after that video I noticed the screen going blank and it not transmitting at all unless you pulled the battery then I worked fine until you turned it off and on again.

[@JoeFramo-uw9fp]

Scott I bought all my radios watching your videos to t10 Ft 65 every radio you interviewed I bought and they all work perfectly thank you Scott for sharing this video I'll be aware of not buying that radio😊😊😊

[@EvanK2EJT]

I never really understood the Q10H. 6M on an HT is pretty useless. Now, the 3.4w vs 6.8w thing doesn't bother me so much.....that's half an S unit. The sub 1w on 6M is definitely strange.......however......and this might be something worth considering.....there's pretty much zero chance that tiny little antenna is resonant on 6M anyway, so it's not like it was going to actually do anything. Now, a 1/2 wave 6 meter dipole....whole different story.

[@ke8mattj]

Thank you for saving me a lot of money.

[@bluediamondsquaresroad5871]

I stopped buying anything from Buy Two Way Radios due to the difficulty they created replacing my KG-Q10H. My issues were after the company gave you better customer service due to you having a KZbin following. I had to prove to them that my radio was defective. I have a couple Wouxun GMRS handhelds and a Wouxun handheld CB, however, I'll begin sticking with the Yaesu and Icom.

[@KS6DAY]

I have had more than a few people contact me and report that they had problems getting their defective radios replaced or repaired. At this point I'm certain that they know these radios are a problem. But they are still forging ahead.

[@waterhead1027]

The more I see about Wuxen and Boofwang, the happier I am with Yeasu. I barely know what I'm doing, so I need good equipment. That way, I know the mistakes are mine.

[@JoeFramo-uw9fp]

I was just getting ready buying the UV 9 px now I'm scared to buying it

[@KS6DAY]

This is the only Wouxun radio that I have had a problem with. My UV-9P is excellent. As is my KG-935G, KG-S88G and KG-XS20G. I'm also currently working with a KG-905G that seems to be good to go as well. I can't recommend the KG-Q10H, but I do recommend those other radios with a high degree of confidence.

[@johnmossy3757]

@@JoeFramo-uw9fp The wouxon kguv9 models are actually pretty good👌🏻👌🏻

[@HUGH_JHANIS]

GET IT ..!!! It's AMAZING its my daily driver and way better... i love my kg-q10h, but hate that I can't receive up into the 500mhz. All my first responder channels are up in that range..

[@michaelhicks3745]

Hi Scott, I really enjoyed your VX-6 operator series! It would be great to see a similar series for the TYT MD-UV390 Plus 10W GPS DMR HT. It's a popular model, and many people use it for setting up encrypted communications within their groups (after obtaining a business frequency license).

[@KS6DAY]

Great timing. As I type this, I have a TYT MD-UV390 Plus sitting on the table next to me. I will be doing not only a review but also a direct comparison to the MD-UV380 as well as an operators series covering both radios. Encryption will be covered extensively.

[@JoeFramo-uw9fp]

I thought what they had good quality control Scott 😮😮😮😮

[@DonzLockz]

Was that Randy's theme? Lol

[@KS6DAY]

Yep. That they put it on a Ham radio adds 2 additional irony points.

[@crazyshrum]

...whoa I just watched your video on the VX-6R video on Diamond antennas. Then the moment hit when I realized we live in the same town. 🤣

[@KS6DAY]

Did you figure out the parking lot I was in?

[@crazyshrum]

​@@KS6DAY Not yet >=) But I just received a KG-905G & KG-935G Plus in the mail today with a NA-701G. VX-6R in the mail with a SRH77CA. I need to find a good place with a SRH320A in stock (an probably a NA-711G). It has been about 20 years since I last had my VX-2R...I may have gotten a little excited to get back in.

[@KS6DAY]

@@crazyshrum You are going to really like that KG-935G. That's my go to GMRS radio. Speaking of GMRS, do you participate in the Monday night GMRS EmComm net?

[@crazyshrum]

@@KS6DAY I have been in "the dark" for about 2 decades. I would consider myself very green by today's radio standards. I'm just getting my feet wet at the moment. But I'm very interested in getting back into things.

[@jonniez62]

Alright, what would you recommend in that price range?

[@johnmossy3757]

Get the KG uv 9px

[@waterhead1027]

My VX -6R was ~270.00. I thought Wouxun was cheap, like Baofeng. Takes balls to sell shit like this for over 100.00, much less over 200.

[@EvanK2EJT]

@@waterhead1027 Wouxun radios are actually normally pretty damn nice. When it comes to GMRS HTs there really isn't anything better on the market. This particular radio in question seems to suck though. Now, if we're talking ham radio, yeah......Yaesu, Icom, or Kenwood is gonna smoke one of these things.

[@bearshelton7809]

I will avoid it. Thanks. Nearly bought it.

[@JoeFramo-uw9fp]

I'm very disappointed in this video I thought they were a good company this is scary 😟😲😲😲

[@northmanproject4007]

You know it's too bad because I have other Wouxun radios that have been pleasantly surprised with their power output. I have similar results with my q10h. On 6m .28 watts. And I haven't found anywhere that mine does 6 Watts. Barely even three across the board VHF uhf. For $220 this freaking thing should breathe fire! At least do what it's advertised to do for crap sake.

[@DonzLockz]

Dang, thats not great at all. I was loooking at getting one. Very disappointing!😮
