jsurles Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'm trying to find a handheld GMRS radio that will allow programming / saving / labelling channels using the same frequency, and allow TX on them as well as RX.For instance I wanted to create something along the lines of:family1 - 462.5500 (ch15) - DCS 116family2 - 462.5500 (ch15) - DCS 423family3 - 462.6750 (ch20) - DCS 223family4 - 462.6750 (ch20) - DCS 743 This would be for the idea of if we are getting interference from another radio user, we could "switch to family4". This would mean everyone could change the channel easily without being lost on how to change the PL codes.This would also be useful for setting up repeaters in an instance where you may pass multiple repeaters on the same frequencies. You could plan and preprogram ahead of the trip. My first set of radios were BTECH GMRS-v1 handhelds, and I thought I had this.. but those additional channels programmed in were RX only.. no TX. :/Any radios that do this, or am I just in dreamland?

axorlov Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Pretty much any radio other than Btech-Baofeng would do that. All Part 95/Part 90 commercial radios certainly can be programmed that way. Not sure about Wouxun 805G, but owners would chime in and clarify that.

mbrun Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Good Day. All of the Wouxun models support this. Handheld and mobile units alike. These include the KG-805G, KG-905G, KG-1000G.
