Programming Software Review - "KG-UV Commander" Series

[PastorGary]

We know that some members here occasionally use Part 90 accepted Wouxun equipment and similar radios, especially for amateur applications.

 

The factory Wouxun software is good, but will not run properly on some operating systems.

 

The freeware aftermarket software called "KG-UV Commander" from Jim Mitchell, KC8UNJ, seems to work well on most PC systems and it may even be more flexible than the original factory software in some applications.  As far as we can tell, the Kenwood 2 pin cable, as used on TK-370G style portables, works with this software as does as the original  Wouxun USB cable.

Cool.  I have a UVD-1P.  I'll check this out. Thanks.

I use Jim's KG-UV6 Commander program. Works great and I have no real complaints. It has some capabilities that don't exist in the official Wouxun software, and in some ways is easier to use.

 

I'm using a genuine Wouxun cable that uses a Prolific chip. No problems whatsoever with this setup.

Frank - you beat me to it by posting the alternate web link to Jim's other software.

 

Thanks....
