[Problem Receiving with Wouxun KG-1000G]

I own the same radio and us it as a base also.

Do you own any other compatible radios available to use for comparison with, perhaps radios that you could use to do you own communication experiments with the KG-1000G?

Could you explain your base setup to us? What kind and size of supply, type and length of coax, location, elevation and type of antenna?,

Are you communicating simplex, or duplex through a repeater when you have your issues.

Do you live in or near a big city, or out in the country?

All of these are just fishing questions that might lead to a nugget of insight that may allow us to help you.

i bought the power supply when i did the radio and it was working,  do they fail?  sorry i am new at these.

i was wondering if something chewed on my antenna co ax would that do it?   swr is still at 1.2 with fifty feet of co ax.

radio is putting out 35 watts still.  

i am putting a different radio on it to see if it does the same thing.

THANK YOIU

i put a midland radio on the same power supply and still had a little static but the signals coming in were good.  some signals on the wouxan were showing but no audible signal was coming in.

Connect the radio to a fully charged battery and see if the static goes away when you turn up the volume. If it does, reconnect the radio to the power supply and see if the static reappears and if it does, the noise is caused by the power supply.

[wouxan Kg 1000g sound amplification?]

i have had a kg1000g for around two years now and all of a sudden, the sound on my local channels got staticky ? 

i have it set up as a base with a power supply and have it on my desk. 

i use it to monitor mostly and occasionally reach out on it for short periods.  

i  normally keep the volume at arounds 4 to 6 and you could hear it crystal clear and very loud and now i have to turn it up to 

20 or so and it is very staticky, 

is there a sound card or circuit that is not working properly?  i am wondering if it is a setting does it need service?   

i checked squelch and obvious things but need advice.

i was wondering if anyone else had same problems and how did you resolve it?

thanks in advance

[MXT275 Receives but doesn't Transmit]

i have the same problem on a midland mxt275.  to use it you would not see any reason to think it is not transmitting. 

when noone answers you it makes you wonder.  so i put a meter to it and it is not putting out anything.  it won't even register the 

frequency.  the tx bars are pegged and it receives very well. my radio worked out the box and on the meter i had a 1.2 swr.

it would get out ten miles crystal clear.  after set up i used it maybe three times before i realized it wasn't transmitting at all.

i am waiting to hear back from Midland, not the easiest to get in touch with.

[midland radio mxt 275 not transmitting.]

i recently purchased a midland mxt275 so i could use it as a portable radio for traveling in rental cars or with  friends etc.

i have a mag mount antenna nmo and tuned it to a 1.2 swr.  it worked awesome for a 15 watt radio.

today i went to use it and it could not get past my driveway, about 200ft.

any suggestions? what could have caused this?  the hand mike says it is transmitting but the sure com meter says it is not putting out anything.

is there a reset ? on these? 

i used it maybe three times to transmit in ten weeks. it only has a ninety day warranty .

and midland is hard to get in touch with so far.

thanks in advance.

[Midland MXT275 keeps receiving static bursts…]

I apologize ahead of time. I am not overly knowledgeable when it comes to a lot of things concerning GMRS radio. I keep reading and trying to educate myself though…

I have a Midland MXT275 hard wired into my Jeep. I have the base unit, hand mic and a Midland external speaker all set to work at the same time. Topless Jeeps going down the highway make it difficult to hear things. I run the Midland Ghost Antenna on the front right of my cowl panel at the base of the windshield. I have a pair of Midland GXT1000VP4 handhelds that I let the other Jeeps in the convoy use so we can communicate. All are set to channel 22 and CTCSS privacy code 22…

The MXT275 works great at transmitting clear messages and are received by the handhelds with no complaints of static. The handhelds are static free and have zero interference. They are working beautifully for our intended purpose…

The issue is when I am not transmitting and the MXT275 is sitting idle. Every few seconds I get an RX transmission burst of static for about a second. It keeps happening as long as the radio is turned on. It doesn’t matter if I am sitting in my driveway or 100 miles from home in the hills. It doesn’t matter if the handhelds are turned on or off. I can’t figure out if it’s a setting I have configured wrong or what…

Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? 

Thank you for any assistance someone may provide!

Is the radio wired directly to the battery? or through the accessories on the ignition?   i would try isolating the power from the electric on the JEEP.?

Although 1.39 is better, 1.59 is a low enough SWR that you can use the antenna without fear of damage to your radio.  Based on reports here the Surecom 102 is notorious for being inaccurate for its power output readings, but as long as it’s measuring a near minima for SWR it’s somewhat useful.  I would just use that antenna and enjoy it. You can go broke and crazy chasing low SWR without making a real world difference in range.

Thank you so much i feel better now.

i am new to GMRS and radios like this so i am struggling with "am i doing this right?"

started with radio,WOUXAN KG1000G,  and only antenna i could get with it at the time was a tram 1173 450-470mgz?

i thought it was in the range for gmrs until i put it on the swr meter.  over 4. this antenna has two sections so i tried 

tuning it by cutting it. wasn't sure if to cut top and bottom but i did because cutting the bottom helped simplex but not a repeater channel.

i cut the top and the repeater channel swr improved.  now they are not the same length should they be?

i got down to 1.39 and every time i cut it got better so the last cut went the wrong way, now its 1.59 swr. on all channels.

the power peaked out at 35 watts and also went down to 31.9 watts on surecom 102 meter.

how much power should i get out of it?

is this safe or can i get antenna rods to replace lower section?

OR is the wrong antenna??????

thanks in advance because i not too sure how to use this website either?

Thank You,  i am still plugging away with the manual, learning as i go.  i have never had to,  or have had all of these option to choose from.

i do not have a software cable as of yet from what i  have seen in videos thats the way to go.

thank you for the response.

[Wouxun kg1000g questions? advice? on scanning.]

I am very new to GMRS and i just bought a kg1000g.   i used to be a CB'er when i was younger. i have 'nt had any radio in quite a few years until i got interested in GMRS.

when i bought the radio it scanned all thirty channels, the last eight were listed as repeaters.

i dn't know what i did but now it only scans 22 channels.

is there a setting for scanning repeaters?  i went through the whole book and couldn't figure out what i changed?

any suggestions?

thanks
