Diamond antenna Odd you should bring that up. I just ordered, Tuesday, that very same antenna for mine. I imagine the radio won't carry well on my belt with that but I'll try it when I get it. I still have the original and another with a length in between. It is available from some dealers...

Pinellas repeaters There are plenty of really good radio dealers around, but I, too, have nothing but praise for Ed and Wouxun US. In fact, I have a package from them due tomorrow. Great service, fast, and friendly. Knows his stuff around Wouxuns, too. Well, let us know how the...

Pinellas area repeaters Frank, I know from travel experience you are in one of THE deepest no-radio holes on Earth! With no elevation you are in some trouble with a handheld. I run a KG-UV1D and with the rubber ducky down there it gets mighty quiet! If you're going to try to hit Clearwater...

SWR on whip Another quick point/question I have wanted to bring up for a long time and this may be the time and place. When your check the SWR on a mobile, have any of you ever considered the immediate environment when you check it? I'm talking about buildings, fences, towers, light poles...

SWR on whip In the late '70s and early '80s a friend and I partnered a business selling and installing CBs and antennas. We sold and installed probably fifty 102" whips on springs. Common in the NE, most installations were on back bumpers. Long coax trips. I'm betting we had fewer than...

Wouxun Rainproof Speaker Microphone There’s no hiding my love for these Wouxun HTs and I keep finding more things about them and more accessories for them so that they just get better and better. I broke down and got a “Rainproof Speaker Microphone” now and just spent the day playing with...

Really great information. I don't have a UV3 yet so I'm wondering if maybe it's particular to that model's assembly? I wonder just what the assembly process/environment is with these. China it can be anything from a series of backyard huts to an ultra-modern streamlined assembly line. But...

"Mellow Yellow" KZF2926, and believe it or not, after all these years I HAVE screwed up a couple times and used it signing off from amateur! Started with a pair of Laugh-a-lot 525s, one mobile and one tricked up as a base. Went to a Pace 1000M for the mobile and then a Pace 1000B for the...

program save Thanks to Ed at Wouxon US ( Wouxun KG-UVD1P - KG-UV2D - KG-UV920R Mobile Transceiver ) I found exactly what I was looking for as a free download: KG-UV Commander

Has anyone figured out how to save the Wouxon frequency/repeater program not just in the Wouxon program? Maybe as an Excel spreadsheet saved on the computer? Is it even possible? If it could be saved, could one edit it, say, setting up the repeater list off the program, then importing it...

Repeater Database I tend to use this repeater data source and I've not yet found it to be wrong. Just in case, I contact the repeater site if I have any problems. Amateur Radio Repeater database - Updated daily

HT for hunting You've no doubt read a lot on these forums about the Wouxon KGV-UV series HTs. I am a shameless advocate. They cover that range of frequecies and they're dual-band so you can cover the 420 - 520 range with them without modification. Pretty rugged and the price is absolutely...

about that Wouxon flashlight and why no clock? Okay. No laughter please. No smirks. No mental inquest warrants. I actually USED the Wouxon HT LED "flashlight" in a pinch one night not long ago. Curiously, it turns off the scan when you use it but that's not a problem. I'll not tease...

SMA to SO230 adapter issue I'm using a cable-type adapter like that from Radio Shack and it is a bit unruly. But it works. The thin RG174 bothers me especially right at the metal connectors since it looks like a shear-point to me. So I added some shrink tubing to it and I like that better...

new adapters fail too The newest SMA to SO239 adapters I received finally, yesterday, from a different vendor, are also not right. With new Amphenol PL259 connectors these adapters also allow only about three threads depth before the PL259 binds. That leaves the center conductor sleeve...

I have a Wouxon KG-UV1D that I absolutely love! Go read Moleculo's very excellent evaluation of it in the Product Review section: http://www.worldwidedx.com/product-reviews/61919-wouxun-kg-uvd1p-review.html If you stumble across any of my responses understand I love this little HT more...

Thread title error :oops: Sorry - that thread title should read "...SO239...". Of course. Being a HAM of advanced age, I should by now have learned to wear my secondary vision devices when I type! If any administrator can fix that I'd be grateful since I can't edit the title. Or I can...

I got one of Wouxon's SMA to SO 239 adapters with my KG-UVD1. Fits the radio just fine but none of my PL259s thread onto it correctly or fully. Doesn't seat far enough and would let the center conductor pull back quite a ways. So I figured I got a bad one and ordered three more from Wouxon...

repeater frequencies and tones I find this site to be of great value for me when programming my KGV-UD1: Amateur Radio Repeater database - Updated daily Copy it into the URL box if the link isn't there only the URL and take a look. It is usually very current and I've only found a couple...

And maybe a temporary "lockout" button for busy channels like scanners have? I don't mind antenna talk or pie recipes because that's what we do mostly. But when I'm scanning repeaters I'd sure love to block some busy ones out for a few minutes. I really hate to sound so picky and I sure...
