Preview of Wouxun KG-UVD1P

This very cheap Chinese handset has a wide dualband tx range and is quite durable for it's price. The menu is a bit awkvard but once you get to know it it's quickly programmed and easy to use on the go. Very recommendable!

thanks for the great vid. just ordered one today! whats the battery life like?

[trylleklovn]

@captainmcduche I get a couple of days out of it with on and off use. Pretty decent in my opinion. Have only had it run dry once so far, i've enabled the voltage status when it starts up so I have a good idea about when I need to recharge it. I think you'll be very happy with your purchase, i sure am about mine ;)

[captainmcduche]

is the scrambler good for even any use?

[trylleklovn]

@captainmcduche There is no scrambler in this model.

[captainmcduche]

@trylleklovn i know but is it even usefull ?

[trylleklovn]

@captainmcduche I wouldn't know since i haven't tried it. As i understand some think that the legality of a scrambler is debatable, but i don't see how it would be illegal to use if your a licensed ham operator, since it's just a simple digital mode. Using it on pmr however would be illegal, as it isn't fcc/ce approved. But in practical terms it might help keep a conversation private, although it is only an encoding and not an encryption, so decoding would be easy, if one wanted to.

@trylleklovn ok thanks for the info!

[trylleklovn]

No it doesn't have a scrambler like some of the other Puxing radios.

scrambler?

@williboy95 Aha! Ja jeg hoppede bare lidt rundt i menuerne, for at demonstrere det lidt. Man kan hoppe hurtigt til et menupunkt, ved at trykke menu og så trykke tallene, der indikerer menupunktet, så lige de funktioner jeg bruger mest, kan jeg huske nummeret på.
