Wouxun Wouxun KG-UV8D RX Problem

[K8TJM]

Hello All,

I have a Wouxun KG-UV8D. I recently opened the radio up on the TX to include GMRS MURS. I also did some reprogramming using CHIRP Next. Now I have a problem with RX where it is deaf. I have to go into menu 15 R-CTC, hit the menu button (it shows off), I press the menu button again, exit and now when I hit one of the local repeaters it can hear and works as expected. I don't have to change anything - I just go into R-CTC and back out and it works. I tried a reset and that didn't help.

Anyone run into this before?

You may have to delete/re-program the channel, making sure that the R-CTC is OFF before saving the channel data. Alternatively, you could re-program the channel with the CORRECT R-CTC (assuming one is actually used for that repeater).

Thanks for the reply.
I found CHIRP is doing this for some reason. Once I can document this I'll reach out to the CHIRP team.
Thanks!
