But it doesn’t say anything about gmrs or uhf. It might not be gmrs certified.

There is a spring bottom section which will prevent damage to the roof top and antenna from tree branch strikes. https://cometantenna.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/CA-SPR-instructions-x-1.pdf

Pirate mode? Unless you mean more $$$$.

I've always choose DuraComm Power supplies

I don't think you'll find a better radio for GMRS than a KG1000, unless you go in Pirate mode and go with a Motorola, Kenwood or Hytera..

"It's the platform the KG-1000 was built on., though I'm not sure there is a MARS/CAP mod for it." CHIRP-next...

The Mishigami Repeater System is a group of networked repeaters scattered across Michigan and parts of Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin. The GR550 (West Michigan Operators Only) is part of the Mishigami Repeater System. (See their Facebook page for more information on other Mishigami linked repeaters, as well as how to make your own allstar node and connect to Mishigami yourself.) https://www.facebook.com/groups/662001551625951/ Here is the status page showing all Mishigami nodes: http://1020.node.gmrslive.com/supermon2/link.php?nodes=1020,1021,1022,1023,1024,1155,1156,1157,1158,1159,1205,1206,1207,1208,1209

Since your radio is GMRS specific on TX I would go with an antenna tuned for GMRS. While I like the comet antenna and I own both I would recommend the Midland MXTA26 for GMRS.

k..

I'm glad you ended up with the KG-1000G. It's a great over the counter GMRS radio. One of my favorites. I had the TYT TH-9800D when it was sold by Yaesu as the FT-8900R. 15-20 years ago, it was a great radio. I would buy one today if it was $100 or less. I'm not to keen on about $250 for tech that old, when newer, better performing radios are available for about $200 to $300, depending on brand and features. The UV980p is a good radio, too. It's the platform the KG-1000 was built on., though I'm not sure there is a MARS/CAP mod for it.

You’re responding to a nearly 3 year old thread, but here’s another thread that might help your understanding:

Congrats!

The Wouxun KG-XS20G is an excellent 20 watt radio. That is what I use in my SxS.

Glad you found the problem, and that it was not you! As for programming, make sure that the data cable is securely plugged into the side socket on the radio. When you get it working, their program is fine. Be sure you download the one for the KG-1000+ version of the radio, not the older 'non +' one.

$30 5 watt Dual SideBand 2 meters. . my next project after RM Noise reduction for HF using AI

thought i would come back and give an update.... I ended up sending the radio back to BTWR, because i was convinced that the radio HAD a failure. Sure enough, they tested it and found fault in the faceplate. they warranted to unit, and the new one came two days ago. YES, I have a plethora of different length data cables, all shielded, that work PERFECT! The permanent install starts tomorrow... Although, it appears that CHIRP has NO solid program for this radio, and im having some difficulty with the WOUXUN data cable....

I’m not sure if there is anything that does. Maybe a node but I’m still not totally sure what those are yet. Every where I look nodes and raspberry pies keep showing up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

WSCH382. I have been watching the videos and Randy you are the spokesperson for GMRS. Your videos caught my interest and now I hav joined the GMRS community

Perfect. I was in the same boat last month but didn’t wait. I got the Wouxun KG-20XS and am very happy. Good luck!!

A bit louder and clearer, but you probably won't get a lot more distance. Height is might. Obstructions can't be overcome with power (unless you are lucky with refraction).

2 of them. Also got a little package from a fellow ham on the island of Malta
