    Smaller Antenna

    Get one of the Wouxon KG-UV2D radios. They are Part 90 approved and don't cost a heap of cash. They are sold here in the USA by a number of ham stores and can easily be modified from the dealer set ham bands to operate in the Part 90 range of frequencies. In fact get a bunch of them and trash...

    Dipole noise level

    The more grounding you do for your station, the better the noise reduction. If you have your station on a ground floor, place several ground rods, the longer the better in a line connected by heavy ground strap or a scrap piece of coax with center conductor and braid bonded together and attached...

    Wouxun Charger.

    The flashing between red and green indicates it is nearing it's full charge, from my experience. I thought it was something flaky but it's just the nature of the beast. This occurs with both the 1300 and 1700 mAH batteries. I have 3 chargers, use only 2 of them, one is still in it's original...

    Wouxun KG-UVD1P Review

    Wouxun KG-UVD1P Review

    Wouxon radios/software do not change ports. You have to look in your device manager to see which one is assigned when you connect the cable to your USB port. I use my USB ports for several different devices and the USB driver sets the port to the one it chooses. I have 2 of the 144/440 and 1 of...

    Wouxun KG-UVD1P Software Mod

    I got my 2, yes two, KG-UVD2's a few hours ago. I downloaded the programming software and the modification software and ran it through it's paces. It took only 2 tries on one radio and maybe 7 tries on the other. I got used to programming this stuff in less than an hour of trying out a few...

    wouxun kg-uvd1p

    Most USB drivers are generic. I use the Prolific drivers that I found online when I bought a programming cable for my Yaesu FT-8800R. They also work on the two KG-UVD2's that I just bought and already have a bunch of frequencies programmed in. USB drivers generally assign themselves to one port...
