Wouxun kg-1000g CTCSS and DCS codes

[Guest WRPS515]

setting up Wouxun kg-1000g CTCSS and DCS codes for privacy.  The other radios are Midland and Bofang.  Is there a simple way to do this?

Whatever code or codes you decide on must be the same value(s) in the other radios for each channel you use. I recommend setting ONE channel as your family channel and leave the others a default values or as needed for repeaters.

and, dont forget, if you want privacy as you've mentioned, using codes will not give you any.

Other than having manuals available -- I know at least some Midland units just use a linear numbering scheme for available tones, which means having to look up the tone/code in the manual to find the index number for the radio.

Just don't think they mean "privacy" as in a telephone. The tones work more as a fence, keeping others out of your radio if they don't send the tone you want. Anything sent from your radio will be received by anyone whose radio is set to "NO TONES" on receive (or matches your selection).
