I just received my KG-935G and while I'm waiting on the battery to charge I thought I would express my appreciation to Randy for this wild adventure that he has taken me on. Several weeks ago I was considering dusting off the old CB radio and putting it back in service. While looking through some KZbin videos Randy's face popped up with the subject matter of GMRS radio. After viewing the first one, 'What is GMRS?", I started binge watching more and more of his videos. Needless to say I was captivated. Up until that point I had never heard of GMRS, FRS, or MURS. I knew I was going to like Randy after watching his no nonsense approach to teaching and resistance for "complicated things". That along with a healthy dose of trolling sad hams had me hooked. So Randy, here's to you for your unique style and humor. You've created a new GMRS fan. I hope my meager contribution to your channel helps to keep you in business for years to come. Your efforts are appreciated. And now that the green light has come on the charger, I gotta go 😁😎😄

Love the content - Not that you care, LOL.. but one of the things I would like to see when reviews are done is how fast these radios scan through their memory channels. Maybe it's just me, but I see very few reviews by You Tube creators shows or demonstrates the "scan rate", and haven't seen this information in any manuals. Maybe if you still have a bunch of these radios, you can compare some of them in a single video... just my unsolicited input, I don't know if anyone else is interested in this information. Keep up the entertaining videos....

I can tune in to VHF marine radio chatter and whatever else is on FM above 136 Mhz, plus the KG-935G features a 76.02-108MHz commercial broadcast FM Radio. Thanks for the review Randy, and glad I could beat the rush. 😁

If this radio is part 95 FCC type acceptance for GMRS. Wouxun could have added the 5 MURS channels on VHF to operate under part 95. The radio hardware is capable of both VHF/UHF operations. Software limits the transmitter to only operate on the 30 GMRS/FRS channels.

When I first saw this, I was mad. I have four KG-905's already and thought, "just my luck". They come out with a better radio and now I wish I had waited. While this is a neat looking radio, has listening capabilities beyond what my 905's will do, etc, in retrospect I believe I already have the best radios (for me at least). While the 935 has a neat color screen, receives VHF, decodes inversion scrambling, and more, I like that my 905 has a super heterodyne reciever which the 935 does not. This should give me better, less noisy, reception. Overall, I really like my 905's in that they are great for GMRS two-way comms. I don't really want or need the extra receive capabilities of the 935. There are only three negatives with the 905 that I wish they would change. Those include not being able to adjust the display light intensity, which is blinding at night in a vehicle, tone scan only scans a few seconds before turning off, and the volume could be louder, but as was explained to me by BTWR staff, the waterproofing reduces the receive audio. None are deal killers for me, just places where improvement could be made. I do want to purchase the longer antenna found on the 935 for my 905's.

I have the 905 and am happy with it. Superhet receiver on the 905 vs direct conversion on the 935 will make for a less noisy receiver on the 905. If there are things of great importance to you on VHF or FM broadcast, you might prefer the 935.

We only talked to discuss gas, food and restroom stops. Maybe 15 minutes max and the battery was dead. I've sent my complaint to the Foreign Legion and I'm awaiting a response.

Where he lives, he is apparently in a high place AND there are mountain ranges all around him. He enjoys line of sight that most of us do not. That plus there are repeaters on top of mountains that give him extraordinary coverage. There are trade-offs in everything. He puts up with California taxes, politics, restrictions, and other bs, and in return he has phenominal radio coverage. Living in SC, I enjoy greater freedom but my radio coverage sucks.

Have you checked both to be on high power and both have the squelch set low enough? I have a UV5R I was playing with on the 2M ham band (listen only, no license yet) and couldn't hear a nearby repeater until I dropped the squelch way down.

I wish Wouxun and Motorola would have a love child with all of the functionality of the Wouxun KG-935G and the app functionality of the Motorola T800. I think they would sell like hotcakes.

Ok love your show great content. I'm sure this is a dumb question but I am new. Could I use this radio the KG 935G and my KG1000G and make a repeater? Or would it be possible to by a Ham mobile/base and use it with the KG1000G to setup a repeater or do I have to have another KG1000G? Just wondering. I'm new...

Well, I'm having trouble receiving noaa broadcasts. But my boafeng bf-f8hp brings them in loud and clear. What is happening? PROBLEM SOLVED. Well I finally was able to get my wouxun kg-935g to receive noaa broadcasts as good as my boafeng bf-f8hp. I bought a Nagoya na-771G antenna. I feel like I shouldn't have had to spend the extra cash, but all well, that ends well.

Was going to purchase the KG-1000G for the SXS for trail coms but decided to purchase this one! Will use it both in my truck for highway coms and the SXS and it’s IP 66 rating will work great for the type riding we do. I know it will have its limitations for mountain riding but we’ll make due!

Is HAM or GMRS the quintessential essence of all life in the universe? I would take pause and suggest that a freshly mowed grass field prior to a Triple AAA baseball game on a summer evening has ANY kind of radio beat - unless you like living in your Mom's basement!! Randy??? Throw in the popcorn, peanuts and Cracker-Jacks with Sailor Jack and his dog Bingo AND IT ISN'T EVEN CLOSE. Be sure to stand for the 7th inning stretch.

I have the wouxun kg905g gmrs ht My question because I am a newbie and not ashamed you have to start somewhere so I will hold my head up as in everybody started somewhere like the bottom and work up of course and I'm one of them, thank you! I'm just hoping that someone in Boston Massachusetts is listening here to help me get in touch to where I can take classes and learn this with Hands-On experience I'm actually pleading for help and not ashamed as I said. No car, but public transportation is excellent here. And I live in the south end so that gives you an idea for someone that knows the area I really appreciate it and I will be waiting patiently for someone's reply! Oh one major factor, I am licensed wrqy 733, again I thank you in advance!!

For a newby like me looking at a gmrs radio for SHTF and to use out fishing/hunting the national forest, what is your recommendation between the Wouxun KG935G and the KGUV9 Pro? I’m not real computer savvy so I like the pre programmed idea but can work through that if needed. What are the other big differences in the two radios? Thanks RD
