Wouxun KG-XS20-Plus & KG-935 Plus undocumented password features.

[WRNU354]

For both the Wounxun KG-XS20G Plus and KG-935G Plus factory programming software provides the ability to password the MODE key and password the RESET "ALL" function.

I didn't find any reference to this password functionality in my hardcopy manual or the latest PDF version so I played around with it see how it works.

 

Here's what I found:

Both passwords must be 6 digits.

Password digits can be any number between 0-9 with a password of all zeros a special case.

Entering 3 to 5 digits will cause the factory software to left justify the entered digits and pad the remainder with zeros.

A password of all zeros disables the feature. All zeros is the factory default.

 

Changing modes on the radio with  "Mode Switch Password" enabled:

1) Press the MODE button

2) Enter the 6 digit password

3) Press the MENU button

 

Do a RESET / ALL with "Reset Password" enabled:

1) Press the Menu button and using the up / down buttons select RESET function:

2) Press the Menu button again and using the up / down buttons select the reset type "ALL"

3) Press the Menu button again and enter the 6 digit password.

4) Press the MENU button.

 

Quirks:

Attempting to write a password of less than 3 digits to the radio will result in an programming software error.

Saving to file a config with only 1-2 character passwords entered and then reading that file back results in the 6 digits passwords being left justified and padded with zeros.

This is good to know. I will be printing this out and putting it in the box with the manual for future reference.
