Wouxun KG-UVD1P/440

[KB3SKU]

Hi all im thinking about getting the Wouxun KG-UVD1P/440 but a couple of questions first.

What accessories will i need to do Satellite stuff with it? can yas provide links?

Where can i buy the radio so it comes with the USB programming cable included? Ive read on some places that people got theirs with it included. And if possible for under $130?

Thank you in advance for the help.

My girlfriend bought mine for me from an e-bay store. I think it was around 130.00. came with cable, software, and the usual stuff. I also found a download online that "opens" up the radio. Huge RX now. EVERYTHING from 121.00mhz to 508.995mhz. A quick google search should turn up the store.

thanks i found a place i can get it for under $130 but the cable is extra. I don't trust ebay bad experience

comes out to around $124 with the programming cable.

I thought that mod opens up the MARS Band? I dont want to use that mod if thats the case,i like my license,im not Part of MARS.

Is Cheapham reliable?

I use that mod to listen to the 200mhz sats. as long as you dont program in the tx freqs it wont tx on those.Just set the radio to scan and listen in. A lot of fun. You can also download the cable driver and programing software from http://www.wouxun.com
I havent heard anything about cheapham. I usueally get all my gear from ebay if its nib, or asiaradiosales.com

I recommend Wouxun KG-UVD1P - KG-UV2D - KG-UV920R Mobile Transceiver
I think you can get everything you are looking for (radio, programming cable, SMA to SO-239 adaptor) for under $130, but then you'll have to pay shipping on top.
I have purchased 4 radios and many accessories from them and have been happy.

I think the SO-239 adaptor is the only thing you might want that hasn't been mentioned. Either that or the SMA to BNC adaptor. That way you can hook up a yagi for satellite work.

I will second buying from Ed at wouxun.us...good service, all above board, and he has most all the accessories you'll want. Mine was $170 out the door...radio, programming cable, speaker/mic, and antenna adapter thing. And shipping.

Yes they are. I purchase most of my antenna stuff from them and cables. On one antenna I was missing a set screw they mailed me the part the next day. The are very quick to ship and customer service is great. In my experieces with them at least.

Any rumors about the price of the new mobile when it hits the market?? Need a dual bander for the truck.

I'm hearing rumors in the "under $250" range. Of course, they're only rumors, but it's been pretty consistent.

We've been discussing availability in another thread, and we've speculated the reason it is "running late" is that Wouxun is waiting for Part 90 approval before moving forward...I have two reserved (2m/440 and 2m/220). I would be very surprised if the thing wasn't as big a winner as their HT.

 

[ranger821]

Spork. That would be nice if it's under 250. that's doable. I have even heard 200, but that's streching it a bit. I think...

 

[WQFM513]

Under 250 would be great. I paid about that price for my Icom F221 back in '06. And it isn't even a dual bander.

I got the radio & love it! I have read somewhere you can get the radio & every accessory for it for about $177. You can buy from Wouxun KG-UVD1P - KG-UV2D - KG-UV920R Mobile Transceiver, but you may have to pay for extra accessories. A buddy of mine ordered his from 409Shopwww.409shop.com 409. It came with radio, charger, earpiece/mic, data cable & programming disc all for $115. I think it took a short bit longer as it came direct from China.

I'll third and fourth the recommendation of buying from Ed Griffin at www.wouxunus.com. I've been buying antennas and from Ed for over 15yrs and he's got about the lowest price you will find on Wouxun.

Hey can you send me the link where you got download the software that open up the RX.
Also anyone know how to open up the TX?

 

[ranger821]

Checked with Ed yesterday by email. He said Still no word on when the mobile will hit the streets. I have a programming cable for my kenwood V71A. wonder if it will be compatible with the wouxun mobile????

I won't recommend where to buy it, but I would definitely recommend the KG-UV2D, or the "UV-3D" instead of the 'UV1D". there were some things added/changed. I would also recommend the programming cable and that SMA to 'whatever' type antenna adapter! After that, it's up to you.
