How To Use GPS On The Wouxun KG-Q10G GMRS & KG-Q10H Ham Radios - Transmitting GPS over GMRS and Ham

[@TheNotaRubicon]

For anyone interested, here is a playlist with some of the Off-Roading videos I made a couple of years ago: kzbin.info/aero/PLku2B9MS_IIRAa80infA7M-7mUmCNopW5&si=MCEr5SQZ0Fj6f7AK

[@brianb6603]

Excellent as usual!!! I personally think this radio is great, but... the cost of entry is a bit high. I think my people will not spend the $ just for the GPS features. A KG-S88G or a BTECH GMRS-PRO is much more likely. Great video!

[@gregsmith1116]

I can't believe that folks accuse you of things not fitting to do so if being polite. Thank you for this video and I like these radios (don't have one yet) and may use your link to do so!

Two seconds into the video and I spit wine out all over the place. Thanks to your shirt. Thanks. Also, I’m reporting you to the FCC which will result in your immediate arrest and transfer to a federal prison.

[@KenLee-e5y]

Randy is clearly not a lizard person. As we all know, lizard people lick thier eyeballs, Randy doesnt. Heck he doesnt even blink.

[@BryanAdamas.vers2]

Great video!! But 1 correction.. the radio will in fact send your location on its own.. if you have set it to 1-10 min in the "send frequency" menu

[@AngryMarine-il6ej]

These look like good radios to have. GPS location data is a good thing to have if you're in 'I'm totally lost in the boonies mode' where SAR can get to you. Bad side, in SHTF mode, GPS data needs to be disabled if you want to stay under the radar.

I wanna see some of your off-roading videos…. Just sprinkle some gmrs in there and BOOM 💥 lol

[@williamwhitlock207]

Very nice review, but……as…a…HAM radio licensed operator for a total of ……0.3 years. Having memorized 35 questions and got 29 right when I took the test makes me highly qualified to give my highly opinionated opinion. I have managed to watch …every…radio recording you have made and by doing so also makes me a qualified gmrs radio opinionator. And my opinion is, I cannot decide which gmrs radio to buy for the SHTF because you make all of them so desirable. So keep doing reviews, ….eventually I will Osborne enough information by watching your hand movements to make a decision, ( but I will have to run it by the wife first). This is getting a little long, so I will not bore you with things about me being in Florida or how the trees here suck the radio signals like damn living ground sponges. Keep up the good work. And if you ever want to rid your self of some of (or just one) radio, Christmas is coming up and a couple of drawings would be nice for us loyal notarubicon folks. (Or just send one to my wife to me with). KQ4MDK. 73 and out WRKL745 , catch ya on the flip side…. If you’re ever in North Florida, drop me a note. Let’s have some burgers on the barby and beers 8n the fridge.

[@adubs.]

The best GMRS radio for SHTF is a non type accepted radio IMO. Either a MARS modded amateur radio for receiving and transmitting on the off bands, OR... a commercial DMR that can support encryption directly.

[@iffykidmn8170]

[@craigdavidson2977]

You basically have two options. Find strangers on the radio and see if they can become friends or try to get your friends to get a radio. Line anything important, you build up a community over time. Don't expect anything to happen in a day or even a week.

Can you do a video on DTMF codes? "Some people" seem to think that the FCC can shut down our Boof-wang radios using DTMF code. Thanks *bee-boop*

[@Rusted_Link]

I have (3) two of the KG-Q10H's that are "MARS" modded and (4) one KG-Q10G. And I can and will verify that they do in fact talk to each others GPS very well. The GMRS version also receives on the National 2 Meter Calling frequency of 146.52 as one would expect it to. BUT unless you have a device that you can input the coordinates into the map is useless as it has no compass. So get yourself a paper map with the coordinates if you will be beating the bad bush off grid! And I don't care if you blink or not! So as I've already mentioned bypass the "G" Spot and go straight for the "H"!! - MARS mod it, hold down 2, turn it on, enter 1445. So Wouxun! When will you provide a downloadable map? Hmmm!

[@richardcorwin1828]

Thank you!!

[@vlf126]

Hi all the way from Dublin Ireland from your mostest favourate viewer , Listen buddy have you heard of the Baofeng UV-17Pro GPS , would LOVE to get an honest review on this radio so maybe sometime in the future you could if you accuire one you could do just that :-) , Regards Buddy

[@survivalguyfyi5718]

This would be a nice feature if my whole family could each have one of these radios. Then when we go to the zoo or something, I could find my kids when they run off. Also might come in handy if they were heaven forbid, kidnapped or something. Though a small tracker they could wear on a necklace or something might be better. I also like the IP67 rating as well. I have the UV9GX, based off of Randy's review, which I love by the way. It lacks the GPS and higher IP rating. It is nice though. I now wish I had waited. LOL. That's OK. There's always going to be something better.

[@Francois_Dupont]

*BASED*

[@tonyp9179]

Is this considered using a digital mode on gmrs? I thought that was prohibited?

[@TheNotaRubicon]

No.

[@craigdavidson2977]

The FCC thinks that sending your gps location over gmrs is a good safety feature so they made a special rule allowing gps data bursts. No other kind of digital mode is allowed.

[@craigdavidson2977]

Here are the FCC rules on the matter: § 95.1787 GMRS additional requirements. (a) Digital data transmissions. GMRS hand-held portable units that have the capability to transmit digital data must be designed to meet the following requirements. (1) Digital data transmissions may contain location information, or requesting location information from one or more other GMRS or FRS units, or containing a brief text message to another specific GMRS or FRS unit. Digital data transmissions may be initiated by a manual action of the operator or on an automatic or periodic basis, and a GMRS unit receiving an interrogation request may automatically respond with its location. (2) Digital data transmissions must not exceed one second in duration. (3) Digital data transmissions must not be sent more frequently than one digital data transmission within a thirty-second period, except that a GMRS unit may automatically respond to more than one interrogation request received within a thirty-second period. (4) The antenna must be a non-removable integral part of the GMRS unit. (5) GMRS units must not be capable of transmitting digital data on the 467 MHz main channels.

[@gunningopher]

Really. Not compatible with the GMRS-Pro? Lame. Seems like both companies are missing an opportunity to get some cross-over customers. When I bought a GMRS Pro a while back I was hoping that the positioning system was going to be on a standard.

i dont know what you've missed but the radio needs a clear view of the southern sky to be able to pick up the satellites. so make sure you are in the open, and maybe leave the radio out a little longer or try from a different location.
