Wouxun KG-935G Plus Channel Wizard Issues

[FishinGary]

Yes, I have read the manual, but I am having an issue programming custom channels with the Channel Wizard. When I create a new repeater channel, it changes the frequency of all previously created channels to the same as the new channel. I am saving to a blank channel as well, not overwriting previous channels. Tones and other settings for previously created channels are unchanged though, it's just he frequency that gets changed. I have tried factory reset, too. And, yes, I have reached out to the reseller (Buytwowayradios), just wondering if anyone has any insights as well. Thanks in advance all.

On further thinking about this issue, do you know that to program a channel/frequency you must first set "mode" to VFO using the "mode" button. You enter the frequency you want to program then open "Channel Wizard" and make the changes you want. Don't forget the last step of "save". If you are seeing frequencies you don't recognize push the " Mode" button until you see the channel you programmed. The mode button cycles though channel number, channel name, vhf frequencies and UHF frequencies if you named the channel you should see it displayed.

We get it that some will bad mouth Wouxun radios every chance they get.

@FishinGary I have never used the Channel Wizard with my KG-935G. I either program the channel individually and then save it to an empty memory slot or use the Wouxun programming software. I haven't had any issues.

Did you read from the radio first?  That’s advised with almost all CPS.

I have this radio. It’s a really good radio. Ignore ass hats who only have negative non constructive things to say. Most of us do.  I personally use Chirp to program mine so I’m not much help with the channel wizard. I know there are those that love it and hopefully they will chime in.

I've been programming directly on the radio itself, using the Channel Wizard feature, which is supposed to be easy. Actually, it is, it's just weird that it changes all the frequencies and I can't figure out why.

Using CHIRP and a programming cable is probably going to be my next route. Arguably, it's probably the best route, I was just hoping to be able to do it right on the radio itself. Otherwise, yeah, it's a great radio and I'm really enjoying it. I programmed in my local repeaters yesterday and went up into the hills to try it out. They were pinning the meter, but I couldn't hear anything. Figured I'd screwed up the tones. Nope. Then I saw that the frequencies were all wrong. How did I screw that up? Turns out, I didn't.

I have used the channel wizard almost exclusively on the three 935G+ radios I have and it works great and is easy and quick to use.

Can you describe the exact steps you are doing and what the display shows. You must be missing a step.

You're exactly right. I wasn't aware that I needed to be in VFO mode, or I overlooked it or something. Boy, do I feel dumb. Anyway, I got it programmed correctly now. Thank you for your help!

Glad I could help! That tripped me up once also when first learning to program them.

They are great radios. I got them because they are easy to program without a computer.

Enjoy!

Any chance you can return it. You can buy 5 radios for the same money that don’t have this problem, are water proof, are easier to use and work just the same. Oh and you can read the screen when in day light    Or you could buy the ht and a mobile unit for just about the same price.
