Wouxun KG-Q10G GMRS - Wouxun's New GMRS Hand Held GMRS Radio With GPS and CB Radio Channels

**Update: There have been several reports of people damaging their KG-Q10G radio while attempting to remove the antenna. While the antenna on MY Q10G radios did come off fairly easily, the antennas are not intended to be removable and using too much force to remove the antenna WILL result in a broken radio.
You can get a Wouxun KG-Q10G here: www.buytwowayr...
In this video I review the Wouxun KG-Q10G GMRS handheld HT radio. The new Q10G GMRS walkie talkie features built-in GPS, USB-C battery charging, and unlike any other GMRS radio on the market, the KG-Q10G is able to receive all 40 CB radio channels. As of the making of this video, no other GMRS radio on the market is able to receive CB Radio channels.

This FLAT OUT has the widest receive range of any two-way walkie talkie that I know of. Going from the top of the SW band (CB) plus Broadcast FM and NOAA to almost 1Ghz is freaking amazing! There are dedicated scanners that do much less! That it's also a Superhet GMRS radio with GPS make this thing a hell of a deal. When my tax refund comes, I'm grabbing a pair!

Congrats on the 23 years on the KZfaqs LOL. Almost got the 935G+ but wanted superheterodyne, IP67, and the USB-C port on the radio (not the battery). This might be something I can buy once, cry once and stop delaying my first purchase. Kind of wish Yaesu, ICOM, and Kenwood would get into the high end GMRS radio market, but this is the perfect price point for high quality. These Wouxuns are WAY better than Midland, Cobra, Uniden, Motorola big box store units.

Well, good thing I am personally your favorite viewer, because it seems subscribing to you has paid off Randy. Or has it? You either saved me from a bad purchase, or enticed me to make a bad purchase lol. Time will tell. I just ordered this KG-Q10G. I was about to pull the trigger on a KG-UV9GX while it was on sale. Now it makes sense to me why it's on sale. :) I was taking some time to compare the UV9GX and the BTECH GMRS-PRO. While not very useful yet because I don't think I know anyone else with either of these models, the GPS is compelling (plus I can still use it to get my location). The KG-Q10G seems to be a a beefed up UV9GX which covers most of the Rx frequencies that the UV9GX covers, which I find some value in, with GPS and USB-C added. In my opinion - I'll pay an extra $25 for the USB-C alone. GPS is gravy.

I do have one question for you, how are the knobs on the top of the radio? With the KG 935G I went with the plus model due to the stiffer knobs.

I need an all in one for Church security and home monitoring

@vitogriffin8902 3 ай бұрын

For license free security, or other communications use inside or around structures, the retevis RT10 is a decent option. 902-928 mhz band, no license required in digital mode. For monitoring at home a scanner is the best way to go. There's not anything happening on ham or GMRS that's worth monitoring. CB isn't worth monitoring. Airband isn't worth monitoring. Those are decent hobby functions but there's nothing being said that's important to anyone who's not in the conversation. Most public safety is P25 so these radios won't pick it up anyway, and for analog stuff these radios scan like snails compared to a scanner so even an analog scanner blows them away. If you're planning on using the radio to really communicate with, and plan to get a license or use them well outside of populated areas then that's another story, but as it is they're basically as useful as an FRS walkie talkie if you don't get licensed because you can't use repeaters without someone policing you about it and ratting you out.

Oh and the short menu press items are those which generally change settings for that particular section or channel (think upper and lower half) Whereas the long press menu is where you will find settings that will affect the entire radio (roger beep for instance)
