Wouxun GMRS Range test of the KG-UV9G, KG-916 and the KG-805G radios.

[@BakerBaker1-9]

great test - i have the uv9g now im looking to get my wife one ( maybe the 916) cool stuff , thanks

[@Soladaddy]

For the money, the 916 is hard to beat. Thinks its $109 now and 7% off with my code, SD7OFF. It's very solid and sounds good.

[@bulldogbrower6732]

Great testing method. Good to see someone who knows what they are doing. These are practical real life testing situations. I hope that you test the new BTech GMRS Pro.

[@Soladaddy]

Thanks. The pro is intriguing, but would need a pair to play with the cool features.

What were you using for a simplex repeater controller? Never mind I saw it at the end of you video thanks.

[@Soladaddy]

It's controlled by DTMF. It can do ID via a voice recording or mode code.

[@DMTW]

The UV9G has two dual-conversion superhetrodyne receivers while the other two are radio in a chip design. This is why the UV9G is so much more expensive.

[@Soladaddy]

The 916 is a double conversion superhet and the 805G is a superhet, or so they are claimed to be.

[@shawnwade302]

The simplex repeater radio is a v1? Isn't that a 3 watt radio?

[@shawnwade302]

Would be a interesting test with the repeater radio capable of 5watts transmit power. Either way,good video

[@Soladaddy]

It's an early edition model so 4 watts officially. Usually 3.4 - 4 watts is reality.

All three radios would perform much better with a top quality antenna. That max range you were at would be easy to hit with such minimal obstructions.

[@Soladaddy]

True. This was more of a radio comparison. Here is a Smiley antenna comparison. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5m9dHmhpNB-l9E I'm planning an antenna test between a couple of brands real soon.

[@bettersaferadio]

Awesome field test Mark! I suspect as well that the Smiley was helping on the UV9G. :) I'd love to see something like this again but with the stock antenna and also the Smiley Super Stick. ;) Cheers and thanks!

[@Soladaddy]

Thanks. An antenna test is definitely on the horizon.

[@jessiehorne]

I would love to see the stallion of BSR stable the UV9GX tested like this ☺️👍 With the factory and the 5/8 wave smiley

[@Soladaddy]

I'm guessing the G and GX have the same transmitter and receiver. I will setup a stock vs smiley test on the G.

[@bettersaferadio]

@@Soladaddy Yup, same internals, with slightly different calibration. :)

[@jessiehorne]

@@Soladaddy Thank You for your time
