• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Wouxon KG-1000G Fan Behavior Question

Question for any other owners of the Wouxon KG-1000G radio. I recently got one and have it set up as a base with a 30amp power supply. All is working fine, however the Fan on the KG-1000G turns on instantly every time the PTT is used to transmit, "even after the radio is just powered up".

Per the manual, it says there are 3 options for setting the Fan. One of them (default setting) says the fan turns on "when the temperature of the radio is high during transmit". That's what mine is set to. That would appear to indicate the fan "would not" turn on immediately after powering the radio on, right? There is another fan setting that turns the fan on "when transmitting". That is how the radio appears to be acting. It's almost as if there is a bug in the radio with the default fan setting.

Looking for confirmation from other owners that their unit operates in a similar fashion...or not. Thanks in advance!

A bug in Chinese firmware, wow that would be a surprise. Does sound that way. I have an AnyJunk radio here with the same fan options and it seems to work as advertised. Hopefully you can report firmware bugs somewhere and the manufacturer may fix it. Good luck.

Thanks. Some other owners have reported the same behavior and a request for a firmware fix has been submitted to Buytwowayradios. Their customer service (US Based) is very responsive and everything else about the radio is excellent.
