Programing NOAA stations on KG-805G GMRS?

[Bombahook1]

Hello,

 

I have a KG-805G GMRS radio I just picked up. I didn't realize that the NOAA weather channels are not available pre-programed. My understanding is that I can program them into the radio.

 

I have a programming cable and have the Wouxun software. I think that I have found my local NOAA weather stations here. Is the programming as simple as filling in the table? Obviously I want to only monitor those channels, is there a way set it up so it's listen only? I tried to do that but got a out of range message from the software. 

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Isn't KG-805G a UHF-only radio? Or does it have ability to receive VHF too? I guess, you try and tell us, if you can receive 162 MHz.

Well maybe that's what the issue is. I did try and program it with one of the weather channels, and it choked and wouldn't take it.

I own multiple KG-805G, and it does not support NOAA.

 

The radio does support programming of 128 Rx/Tx frequency-tone combinations but they must be must be GMRS frequencies.

 

Memories can be used for hold UHF Rx-only frequencies within a limited range +/- away from the GRMS ones. For example, I have 432.0000 programmed in mine, just for kicks.

Ok thanks for clearing that up for me. There are lots of things to learn when you are just starting out. :-)
