The Wouxun KG-UVN1 Update...DMR User Database Now Supported.

The Wouxun KG-UVN1 now supports the DMR User Database. Hello DMR Fans, Rick here, KG7GUO for DmrShack.com.  I have some very exciting news for you. Wouxun has updated the Firmware for the KG-UVN1 and the Programming Software, I am pleased to announce, the KG-UVN1 now supports the DMR User Database. It will now allow 160,000 DMR User Contacts, and 10,000 TX (Talk Group) contacts. This is an awesome update. To make this possible, they reduced the record time for recording call audio from 8 hours down to 2 hours, which is not a big deal, because how often do you need to record your calls anyway?  I don't ever have a need to use this feature, but some may like it. This update pretty much makes the UVN1 my favorite radio of the radios I own. The import process is pretty simple and straight forward. From the programming software, simply click on program and select Dmr Database. Click on Import and select the file you want to import.  I

Wouxun KG-D901 Review

Image
Wouxun KG-D901 I recently purchased a new DMR radio to add to my collection.  The Wouxun KG-D901 Digital DMR radio. I currently also own a TYT MD-380 and a Radioddity GD-77. While the Wouxun does not have a lot of Bells and Whistles, I have become very fond of it. The Radio has a lot of nice features, but it does have a couple of quirks.  I will try to point out the Pro's and Con's. Pros: Color Screen, easy to read Good audio quality Feels great in the hand Easy to program Lighted Keypad Cons: When in the menu, if there is activity on the radio it drops you out of the menu When sending SMS, it runs all the words together without spaces No firmware updates Can Not add the User Database Overall, it is a well built radio that feels nice in the hand.  It has a lot of potential.  I hope Wouxun continues to make DMR radios, I think they are on the right track.  I see on the Wouxun website, there is a couple other DMR radios
