Wouxun Dual Band KG-UV920R mobile

[LouisvilleScanMan]

I wonder if it will have A B C D keys on the DTMF keypad?

Our electronics industry has been based in Asia for quite some time. First Japan, then Malaysia, and now China. Sadly, we don't have an electronics industry in the US anymore....

I'm going to take a hard look at their mobile. I've been looking for a detachable head dual band mobile that is narrowband capable for railfanning.

I'm proud to say WE do produce electronics HERE in the u.s. and have been for the last 11 years,but it's mostly industrial,military class1,2 applications.

I would like to get my hands on one of these radios when they release. We gave away a Wouxun HT last year for hamfest as a door prize, i got to play with it for a while, i gotta say its a nice little radio! Build quality seems good and i can't complain about audio quality or performance.

Link keeps timing out on me:lol: I was hoping to see some interesting radios.

No 220 repeaters remotely nearby, but if some lower cost radios make more of the hobby more attainable for more people then I can only help it'll spur activity, I rarely get 2m or 440 QSOs around here as it is.

Take a peak here I found on google, Looks like they are on sale in Mexico for now. Some of the description is in spanish and english. Wish my spanish was better. Even cooler it has cross band repeat.

I have 1 question [not to sound stupid or a radio police] Are these radios from China type excepted here? I thought someone said they weren't.

No, the radios (at least the ones sold by the US distributor) are type-accepted for Part 97, as the firmware doesn't allow out-of-band programming, unless you perform a modification with the software.

 

[rfradioconsult]

The Wouxun KG-UVD1P portable is type approved for Part 90, VHF and UHF for both wide-band and narrow-band. Type Approval number is WVTWOUXUN04.

There are no radios that are type accepted for Part 97. There are standards of certification but no type acceptance. These standards are spelled out in Part 97.

I realized what I had said after I posted it. I figured one of RadioReference's more esteemed resident legal beagles would correct me.

Do the other Wouxun radios have the A B C D functions on the kaypads?

Actually, they all do but the instruction book (translated from Chinese to English by a monolingual Bulgarian who once passed by a McDonalds in Macao) do not show it. The top row of four buttons work very well as these functions. I did not know it until one of our more experienced rig monkeys discovered it and shared it with club members. Very useful for IRLP access.

I need that as several of our local repeaters have features that require the ABCD keys.

I suppose the real question to ask yourselves is will Yaesu, Kenwood and Icom become price competitive??

And when will we begin speaking Chinese after they call in all of our outstanding debt??? Think real hard about what you are supporting here.....

Funny you should say that, I was talking to a friend who is a dealer. Kenwood and Icom are scared to death of Wuoxon, while Yaesu doesn't seem bothered. These radios seem more like a shot against the yen as well as the dollar.

Yaesu already gives you more bang for the buck compared to Icom and Kenwood, while this will take away from Yaesu sales i don't think it will as much as the others due to prices.

I made a reservation but it tentative on price. It in no way locks you in to buying one just puts you on the waiting list.
