WRPU764 got a reaction from Sshannon in Which Lightning Arrestor
@PACNWComms @Sshannon Yes, the KG-1000G Plus has a SO-239. Once everyone pointed me in the right direction on who makes a good product I contacted PolyPhaser and they recommended the IS-50UX-C0 for my application. It has the SO-239 connectors. I asked about the N connector because I have read and watched a lot of discussion on this subject. He stated that since I will be using the M&P EVO connector that there really won't be a significant difference. I did do some reading on PolyPhaser and and they appear to be "top shelf" stuff.
Other than the radio and power supply, I have been in a planning mode, trying to figure out what will work with what. So now that I have more information, I just need to roll it around in the bean for a bit before pulling the trigger. Then I will be ordering the cable, surge protector and antenna all at once.
Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction.

But perhaps with so-239 connectors.
N connectors are definitely better for GMRS frequencies but I think the KG1000 probably has an SO-239.
Or get that polyphaser and install N connectors on the coax cables that attach to it.

PolyPhaser all the way. Something like this would work for that KG-1000 Plus. https://www.polyphaser.com/type-n-surge-protector-1.2ghz-gas-discharge-tube-098-1013g-a

+1 on the Polyphaser recommendation. You are trying to protect a high priced radio, do you want to trust it to the lowest priced protector or do you want one with a known good reputation?

Agreed. Polyphasor and Alpha-Delta both have high reputations.

Polyphaser appears to be a very good product.

WRPU764 got a reaction from WRTT642 in Welcome!
Hello all. I received my GMRS license last week and three (3) Wouxun KG-935G radios this week. I was informed about this website by the person that sold me the radios. I am in Belleview, FL. I am new to radios and I have a lot to learn so please forgive me ahead of time if and when I ask dumb questions. I did a lot of reading and watching videos before I purchased anything but after all that effort I am still unsure about a lot of things. Time and effort on my part will help.
A little background, if you are interested. I spent 10.5 years in the Air Force working with fuels in CE and in RED HORSE. My wife retired from the Air Force after 25 years. I am an Engineer and design fire trucks, try not to hold the Engineer thing against me. Haha. Thanks and I'm happy to be here.
