I am a newcomer to myGMRS.com and its forums, but I have a question, and I am hoping somebody might be able to help me. As my post title implies I am trying to get into the channel programming (and tone codes, etcetera) for my Wouxun KG-905G GMRS 5watt radio. I purchased two Baofeng BF-888S radios and wanted to have all three radios work on the same channels and frequencies.
I used the CHIRP software to backup the original programming of the two Baofeng radios (thanks YouTube DIY videos, lol), and then manually entered in the correct frequencies for GMRS channels 1-7, FRS channels 8-14, and GMRS channels 15-16; along with resetting the transmission power levels to the correct 5w/0.5w/5w settings per the FCC rules.
When I tried to use CHRIP on the Wouxun KG-905G however, it was not functional. It seems all of the listed Wouxun radios are 'experimental' and the 905G is not listed; nor would CHIRP communicate with the radio using a different radio type/name (1000 series, etcetera).
I then downloaded KG-905G software (from twowayradios.com?), set the correct COM port, but still could not make a successful communication with the Wouxun radio.
While I do have all three radios communicating as I wanted, my concern is the lack of ability to "get into" the programming of the Wouxun radio. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
