Wouxun KG-UV3D Programing SOS

[KK4DCS]

New Ham.......Bought a Wouxun KG-UV3D. I am about to pull my hair out. I can program in a channel with the proper off set, T-CTC (PL) and shift + - or off. I save the frequency then when I pull it back up the shift or T-CTC is different. Any Ideas........I have spent a good 10 hr doing this to no avail. Help!!!SOS. I have even looked at all of the utube videos to no avail

Thanks

Do yourself a favor and buy the $10 programming cable. Use the software to program and you'll save yourself a lot of headaches.

Without watching exactly what you're doing, it's difficult to say where you're going wrong. However, another forum member cross posted a pretty good "how to" on programming these things here: http://www.worldwidedx.com/handitalkies/113993-wouxun-kg-uvd1p-modification-range.html#post302266

But seriously, buy the cable!

Thanks

I do have a cable and had loaded stuff to HT but ofter I save it the info I entered such as pl's off set etc.
The wouxon software is really clunky.

Thanks for your time

KG-UV2D

I too bought my radio and cable and when I program it with all the information it says that it has successfully wrote to the radio, but when I ask it to scan my frequencies it goes back to scanning 144.000 to 148.000 and not just what I programmed in.
Get any successful answers yet??

Is it in the 'Mem' mode or 'Freq' mode when you press that scan button?
I don't have a 'UV-3', I have a 'UV-2', but the programming software is the same from Wouxun. 'Clunky'? Maybe, but it works. I find I use the Wouxun program much more often than the 'Commander' software (I have it too).
