Covers 136-174 MHZ and 400-520MHZ Transmit and Receive.

The KG-UV8D Plus operates on 4 watts UHF and 5 watts VHF. It features a whopping 999 programmable memory channels with DTMF encode/decode and high or low selectable power options.

The KG-UV8D Plus also has duplex cross-band repeat capability, so you can operate your handheld in full cross-band mode! Transmit on one band while you receive on the other simultaneously. You can also receive two signals at the same time on the same band!

But the best features aren't just inside the radio. Wouxun has given the the KG-UV8D Plus a face that is as functional as it is cosmetically pleasing.

The Power-On display is also customizable and voice prompts assist you with menu navigation.

The KG-UV8D Plus is loaded with features! Channel Name edit and display, Dual Standby, 76-108Mhz FM radio, DTMF encoding, SOS function, low voltage voice prompt, VOX (Voice Operated Transmit) for hands-free operation and a high illumination flashlight are all standard on this radio.

What are the new features of KG-UV8D Plus?

1. Voice Compander
The KG-UV8D Plus now supports companding, which is a form of compression to improve the signal to noise ratio for clear audio.

2. Non-Standard CTCSS/DCS
Most radios typically follow a standard set of CTCSS and DCS codes, and radios such as the KG-UV8D have this pre-set list to choose from in the menu of the radio. The KG-UV8D Plus allows you to manually enter non-standard CTCSS and DCS codes into the radio.

3. Scrambler
The KG-UV8D Plus is now equipped with a voice scrambler. Since this radio is only approved for use as an amateur radio in the US, and hams are not allowed to scramble their signals, this is not a feature most operators will likely use. However, every country has its own regulations, so the addition of a scrambler may be useful in other parts of the world.

4. Backlight Adjustment
One of the most useful upgrades to the KG-UV8D Plus is the ability to adjust the timing and intensity of the backlight for the LCD display. This is the same upgrade incorporated into the KG-UV9D Plus and is a long time coming. This feature should be in every two way radio with a display.

5. FM Radio Frequency Storage and Retrieval
The KG-UV8D Plus now allows you to store up to 20 preset frequencies into the built-in commercial FM radio. Some operators do use the FM radio to hear their favorite local commercial radio stations and will likely find this to be a very handy feature.

6. Editable Power-On Message
Well, technically, it isn't really editable, since you can't seem to create your own. However, you can choose which power-on message displays when you turn the radio on. Your choice is either the Wouxun logo graphic bitmap or a graphic representation of your battery level and voltage.
