I picked up a NanoVNA-H4 analyzer and ran a quick sweep of three antennas I have. A Comet GP-6NC dual band (GMRS/MURS) with 50ft of 400MAX cable, a N9TAX dual band (GMRS/MURS) Slim Jim and a KB9VBR GMRS J-Pole with 25ft of RG-213. Here are the results, first time using the NanoVNA and there are lots of other options to play with but will take a bit of time to learn them all. I will say the Comet is perfectly tuned for GMRS. Comet GP-6NC 1.07 VSWR at 462.5 Mhz 1.06 VSWR at 467.5 Mhz N9TAX dual band Slim Jim 1.30 VSWR at 462.5 Mhz 1.30 VSWR at 467.5 Mhz KB9VBR GMRS J-Pole 1.75 VSWR at 462.5 Mhz 1.35 VSWR at 467.5 Mhz

That worked great! Thank you very much!! Mark

Thanks, just wanted to make sure I wasn't just me. Since the 1000G+ has dual speakers and a separate volume for each band, I thought it would be nice to scan a few active GMRS channels on one side and AM aircraft bands at a low volume on the other. Oh well

I'm trying to use the dual scan feature of the radio. Instructions say "The A and B areas can perform a scan at the same time. to do this, press SCAN to activate the scan on A area, press AREA to go to the B area, then press SCAN to activate the scan on B area. Both areas should scan simultaneously." If I start a scan in area A as soon as I press the AREA button scanning stops on area A and doesn't resume. If I start a scan in area B and press the SCAN button it scans B but as soon as I hit the AREA button it stops scanning as well. Am I missing something to scan both areas simultaneously? (BTW, the BAND button on the 1000G has been relabeled AREA on the 1000G+ version). Thanks

You can use CHIRP (it now supports the 935G) to edit the channels, it has the ability to insert and delete rows (channels) and move all existing channels up or down. It works great for channel management but doesn't offer all the options the Wouxun software does. So I use both.

You get it yet? Just placed a order for mine a few minutes ago along with a Comet GP-6NC, a 9 dBi gain antenna. It's about to get real!

Got my license a few weeks ago and ordered up a KG-935G the same day. The next day I searched Craigslist for GMRS and I'll be darn if there wasn't another KG-935G with N9TAX dual band Slim Jim antenna, a KB9VBR GMRS J-Pole and a Nagoya NA-771G rubber ducky listed for sale and bought the package. Ended up with 2 KG-935's and 4 different antenna combinations. It's kinda cool having two 935G's and be able to compare different antenna's in real time. The Slim Jim is the clear winner so far.
