i have the KG-1000's set up for a repeater and pretty happy with their performance, I'm making contacts with mobile's 60 miles out.. I'm, setting on a hillside about 500' overlooking the Indian Wells Valley using a Tram 1182 on 30' mast. I also cleaned up my mobile Duplexer with my Nano, the factory tune wasn't very good. i am concerned about the duty cycle on these KG-1000G radios, they get very hot after about 15 mins of continuous use. I plan to use these as mobile's so I actually have two Maxon 8402A radios on order, they create a repeater much like the KG-1000 but better because they are commercial radios and have a 100% duty cycle. They are also a little cheaper then the KG-1000 radios. If you decide to go with the Maxon's be prepared to wait about 60 days, they are on back order. I'm also using EchoStaton with a RIGblasger for my ID Controller. IMO, this is the best way to go for creating an I'D controller on your repeater. I have mine set up for Voice I.D. with a time and temp stamp. EchoStation has a lot of flexibility and the software is very cheap, only $19 bucks. RIGblaster ties it into the radios via the Mic ports. Very easy to set up.

Amazon has the easier return policy, BuyTwoWayRadios has top notch service and good deals... Ebay is getting better and now offers free sniping on most things you buy there.. If you need some sort of tech support on your radio gear, i would stick with Buytwowayradios.. Their support is awesome..

in today's scam society, not sure it's a good idea anyway.. One google search of your license plate call sign can reveal most everything about you, i.e. your name, where you live, your phone number etc.. That information in itself is enough for the basic scammer or even a road rager to begin his dirty work.. No Thanks....

I heard that Wouxun was coming up with a way to tap into a COR port for a controller input on their KG1000G transceiver. Has anyone heard any progress on this yet?

If you were Trump, then they would track you down and get you but otherwise, they ain’t gonna waste their time
