  1. I use a strobe tripod with good results, have a radio in the garage and fine tune antennas that way before I put them on the Jeep and yes I check the SWR after the install. As stated above you should be fine!
  2. I guess I got lucky as my surcomm was right on with 2 Kenwood radios and the KG1000. Friend is a ham and we also tested the same radios with his equipment and had the same results.
  3. You may have to save the downloaded from the radio to update your file then it should be what you changed!

    Welcome many good ideas and help here!!
  5. Welcome to this site, there is a lot of good information here and people willing to help. I am a novice my self and many have given me solid advice (not my preferred brand is better than the other brands) that has made the GMRS useful to me as a hobby. Enjoy!
  6. That will help travelers that are going to a new area and could use open or permission needed for the PL codes
  7. I don't know about AM scanning but I have one Ham repeater that works on my KG 1000 of course it is listen in only but the repeater is on top a area that I run around in and I can pick up any info going on there. It works just fine You can find out with a programming cable when you get it! Others here may have tried it and I am sure they will chime in, good luck.
  8. I use the baking sheet and a 3 Browning 450MHz-470MHz UHF 3dBd Land Mobile NMO Antenna . I get good local coverage including two repeaters and one repeater I listen to that is 56 miles.
  9. You can add scan Yes or No in the software for any channel as you add them (repeaters for example). I am going to turn off channels 8 through 14 as they are listen only and mostly kids playing with hand held radios in my area. There is a thread on here about creating scan groups which is covered in the manual but so far I do not need that so I can not comment! Try the following in technical forum Wouxon KG-1000G Scan Groups - How to Activate. Good luck Mike
  10. I am going to have to study for my Ham I guess.
  11. When warming up my Jeep at home moving 12 inches can make hitting a distant repeater or not. I am at the very end of that repeaters coverage where I live!
  12. I have had great service and support from Buy Two Way Radios!!
