Hey Marc. Your post got me thinking about my new purchase of my first GMRS radio Wouxun KG-935G. I am new to all this and have a question. Please forgive my ignorance on how all this works. When I do a scan my radio it seems to indicate activity on several channels (blue receive bars on screen). When I go to any of the channels that had activity on them I do not hear anything. Do I need to program my radio in some way to hear anything? If so, what steps do I need to take? Is it code related? Thanks for any help you can give. My users manual is ok but does not go into detail of how to set up the radio. I was thinking that it could listen to any chatter on any channel right out of the box. My error. I would love to have a mentor to help me along. How can I get one and is it possible to email back and forth? New to this forum as well.
