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.
Things are a bit confusing. Maybe it has something to do with the scanning. That is the only place that I can see any type of frequency limits that the operator can control. Maybe, as a test, try the same codeplug but with none of the channels in a scan group. Other than that, maybe you can widen the scan range. I'm not seeing any errors that stand out.

And I don't mean my head either! So here is what I discovered:
In the VFO settings there is a setting " Current Mode Set"."work CH A B Under each of the A B settings, you have to set a memory channel. That, I discovered, goes hand in hand with whatever you have programmed on your main memory channels. So you can use the drop down arrow to choose any wide band channel to act as your working channel in -A but in B setting you have to choose the NEXT channel programmed that fits in the 100-400 mhz range. That is because working CH has to be interpreted as VFO. The default from the factory is A-CH-1 and B-CH-2
So I just left ch-1 on VFO-A and just chose the very first memory channel after that which had a 100/400 mhz frequency. BINGO! problem solved!
Well, I'm glad you figured it out. I'll have to say that isn't something I would have suspected. I thought that the working mode was for the channels that the radio would default to as it boots up.

For a while I thought the same thing. But I was determined to try anything and everything to figure this out. I had nothing to lose at that point. I had already saved a good copy of the plug so no matter what I tried, I could always reprogram the radio. I'm telling you, if it wasn't because I really like this radio, I would have just sent it back. However, this thing is awesome on aircraft and really good everywhere else. That is why I tried so hard to figure this out. Well, that and the fact that it was getting under my skin not knowing! LOL...
I just got my UV9D Plus from AmazonaChina..........new look apparently, it has a dotted speaker grill, and has the same shape as the non Plus version. The box looked like a regular 9D box, but has an "Upgrade" sticker, same for the manual. Odd, but since it came direct from China, it must be the newer version?
I too am having difficulty programming the radio. I need to enter some MURS frequencies and they will not transmit, only receive. I wish someone could do a comprehensive guide like miklor did for the Baofeng UV82
Does anyone know if the radio comes locked by default from transmitting outside Amateur bands?
I know with some of the Wouxun products, different vendors have different versions with varying band splits. I bought one from a vendor with a tighter than advertised split. I had to find a program on the web that would allow me to adjust the split.
I believe I have just purchased one of these radios that's locked into a tighter than advertised split, bharvey2 or anyone else know where to find a program like this to adjust the split?

If that doesn't work,I do have a file that has both programming software and freq limit software but I don't remember where I found it nor do I know if it will work will all models of the KG-UVD9.. Send me an e-mail at:
Woke up this morning and tried to add different channels to the radio. THIS is what I got! You guys take a look and see if you see anything I'm doing wrong!
Just cracked this one based on comments on here and experimentation.
The problem is on the VFO Settings tab. This defaults to CH-001 and CH-002 and expects to see the required Tx/Rx range in these. I wanted to set up a data file for airband but as the CH-001 and CH-002 frequencies that I was trying to program were out of band for the Work CH, I set up channels CH-998 and CH-999 with one freq on 2m and the other on 70cm and then set the Work CH to point to these channels.
Note that you need to populate the channels before you select them or they will revert to 001 and 002.
After doing this, all of my saved freqs correctly uploaded to the radio.
Next thing I need to find out whether it's possible to convert a CSV to Wouxun without CHIRP or an expensive alternative...
