How To Use GPS On The Wouxun KG-Q10G GMRS & KG-Q10H Ham Radios - Transmitting GPS over GMRS and Ham

You can get a Wouxun KG-Q10G GMRS radio here: www.buytwowayr...
And you can find the KG-Q10H ham-radio version here: www.buytwowayr...
The Wouxun KG-Q10H ham radio and the KG-Q10G GMRS radios can both transmit and receive GPS data over GMRS and ham frequencies, but out of the box receiving GPS data and sending GPS coordinates and data are disabled. So in this video I explain step-by-step how to send GPS coordinates and data over GMRS if you are using the KG-Q10G and how to send GPS data over ham radio frequencies if you are using the KG-Q10H ham radio version.
I even made special trip off-roading in the desert of Southern California just so I could demonstrate how these Wouxun GMRS and ham radios send GPS data.

These look like good radios to have. GPS location data is a good thing to have if you're in 'I'm totally lost in the boonies mode' where SAR can get to you. Bad side, in SHTF mode, GPS data needs to be disabled if you want to stay under the radar.

Very nice review, but……as…a…HAM radio licensed operator for a total of ……0.3 years. Having memorized 35 questions and got 29 right when I took the test makes me highly qualified to give my highly opinionated opinion. I have managed to watch …every…radio recording you have made and by doing so also makes me a qualified gmrs radio opinionator. And my opinion is, I cannot decide which gmrs radio to buy for the SHTF because you make all of them so desirable. So keep doing reviews, ….eventually I will Osborne enough information by watching your hand movements to make a decision, ( but I will have to run it by the wife first). This is getting a little long, so I will not bore you with things about me being in Florida or how the trees here suck the radio signals like damn living ground sponges. Keep up the good work. And if you ever want to rid your self of some of (or just one) radio, Christmas is coming up and a couple of drawings would be nice for us loyal notarubicon folks. (Or just send one to my wife to me with). KQ4MDK. 73 and out WRKL745 , catch ya on the flip side…. If you’re ever in North Florida, drop me a note. Let’s have some burgers on the barby and beers 8n the fridge.

I have (3) two of the KG-Q10H's that are "MARS" modded and (4) one KG-Q10G. And I can and will verify that they do in fact talk to each others GPS very well. The GMRS version also receives on the National 2 Meter Calling frequency of 146.52 as one would expect it to. BUT unless you have a device that you can input the coordinates into the map is useless as it has no compass. So get yourself a paper map with the coordinates if you will be beating the bad bush off grid! And I don't care if you blink or not! So as I've already mentioned bypass the "G" Spot and go straight for the "H"!! - MARS mod it, hold down 2, turn it on, enter 1445. So Wouxun! When will you provide a downloadable map? Hmmm!

This would be a nice feature if my whole family could each have one of these radios. Then when we go to the zoo or something, I could find my kids when they run off. Also might come in handy if they were heaven forbid, kidnapped or something. Though a small tracker they could wear on a necklace or something might be better. I also like the IP67 rating as well. I have the UV9GX, based off of Randy's review, which I love by the way. It lacks the GPS and higher IP rating. It is nice though. I now wish I had waited. LOL. That's OK. There's always going to be something better.

Here are the FCC rules on the matter: § 95.1787 GMRS additional requirements. (a) Digital data transmissions. GMRS hand-held portable units that have the capability to transmit digital data must be designed to meet the following requirements. (1) Digital data transmissions may contain location information, or requesting location information from one or more other GMRS or FRS units, or containing a brief text message to another specific GMRS or FRS unit. Digital data transmissions may be initiated by a manual action of the operator or on an automatic or periodic basis, and a GMRS unit receiving an interrogation request may automatically respond with its location. (2) Digital data transmissions must not exceed one second in duration. (3) Digital data transmissions must not be sent more frequently than one digital data transmission within a thirty-second period, except that a GMRS unit may automatically respond to more than one interrogation request received within a thirty-second period. (4) The antenna must be a non-removable integral part of the GMRS unit. (5) GMRS units must not be capable of transmitting digital data on the 467 MHz main channels.
