  1. Roger that! Note taken and your advice is appreciated. Time will tell how long this cable will hold up. I will order the $15 cable tomorrow and keep it in my "Go Kit" as a fail safe backup. I have lots to learn PS: I guess I got lucky with a functional, trouble-free China made programming cable. I didn't have to install any obscure/outdated drivers either. It just worked for me out of the gate. Who knows! 73's John (WRON425)
  2. Roger that. I'm a complete novice when it comes to GMRS. Being not aware that the software and cable bundle can be used for other radios was my misunderstanding. But, still trying to help others save cash if all they have are 1 or 2 radios. Thanks for the heads up. It's appreciated. 73's
  3. Here is the link of the cable I mentioned earlier...https://www.buytwowayradios.com/rt-systems-rps-kg935g.html I don't see why BTWR is charging $50 for a cable that was probably made at the same place the $11 was manufactured and charging extra $$ for software that they offer as a FREE download on their own site. My junk cable was plug and play and no trouble to use at all. I've been using my one and only programming cable for over over a year without any trouble. I'll keep my junk cable, which works perfectly fine for it's intended purpose, and my extra cash in my wallet for future GMRS radio and equipment purchases. Just my opinion and mine only. I shared my knowledge about the cable compatibility so that others that are on tight budgets can save some coin. No harm in that at all...
  4. Hello, fellow GMRS'ers... Out of curiosity I wanted to test if my Baofeng UV-5R programming cable was compatible with my new KG-935G. I am very happy to report that indeed it is compatible with the KG-935G. I have confirmed that it communicates flawlessly with the KG935 and the horrid Wouxun software. I am not sure if this has already been discussed here, but I wanted to help others save some $$ on buying an expensive programming cable from BTWR. $50 is a bit steep for a simple USB cable! An $11 cable works as good as a $50 cable. Sorry, not sorry, BTWR. Here is the link to the cable that I am using: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FS8SSPS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I simply plugged it into a USB port. Set the COM Port to COM1. Ran the Wouxun programming software (Yuck!). Connected the radio to cable. And, viola! No special sorcery or VooDoo magic to get this thing to work. If anyone has any issues getting their radio to connect to their PC let me know. I'll be happy to help you out. 73's John (WRON425)
  5. Thank you. I requested to join a local area repeater (actually the only GMRS repeater in the state lol) and the owner was more than obliged to allow me to use his repeater. I'm already liking the vibe of the GMRS community. Let the good times roll! 73's John (WRON425)
  6. Hello, from Delaware, USA. New member and GMRS licensee WRON425. Just received my Wouxun KG-935G and learning how to program it. Soon ordering some more GMRS HT's and a mobile radio (Wouxun KG-1000). 12 year U.S. Army and OIF3 Veteran and family man. Looking forward to learning about the hobby and making a few new friends along the way. Catch ya on the airwaves or on a backcountry road somewhere in the USA 73's
