I just ordered the Wouxun KG1000G PLUS on 2/2/24 from myGMRS and can’t wait to receive it! I was really surprised how easy the Wouxun software ‘is’ …and, how much like CHIRP it is as well. The only downside, imo, to the WOUXUN software is that you have to have the software pertinent to the particular radio, whereas, with CHIRP you can use its software for many radios of your choice. But, that’s definitely not a game changer to me. I’m currently running a BTECH 50-VR as a base and it’s been working flawlessly here in the extreme north side of Houston,Tx using a nonground fiberglass 17” antenna mounted on a 20’ pole and am able to connect with all the repeaters around me…and, it’s so nice they’re all linked to pretty much everywhere in the country practically! In addition to the base radio I have two Baofeng HTs I started out with (UV-5R and UV-9G…which are useless to me unless I hook my base radio antenna to them and that can become a pain!). I also have the Inrico T-320 network radio and DV SWITCH on my phone (both using the Texas GMRS node 1000 and the Louisiana Roadkill node 50132) But, as you know, as a radio operator we’re never happy with what we have and just ‘have’ to upgrade to a bigger, better, and, a more badass radio! 😂. Nice video! Sorry for being long winded, but, I didn’t even get started on why I bought and like the new WOUXUN radio! 73s!

I moved from PA to TX so I need to add the local GMRS Repeaters to my KG-1000G. Unfortunately my Parallels subscription ran out, will have to renew. Curious if it is possible to add a Repeater directly through the face plate, without using the software? I guess I should Google for an answer. But I see you also have a JLUR with the overhead radio bar, so thought I’d ask.

I used to do the same thing, if it wasn't a major outing (overnight, all day long hike, etc) I wouldn't go anywhere. Then the weeks start going by having done nothing thinking of all the wasted time. Now, like you said, even if it's jumping in the Gladiator for some unplanned half a day exploration (and doesn't even have to be offroad), a short hike close to home, a quick ride on the fat tire e-bike.......not everything has to be a grand expedition. And some of those impromptu outings turn out to be some of the best. There's just too much to enjoy and too little time to sit around waiting for the perfect time or place, you just need to get out. Also, I mentioned before about not being happy with my Gladiator with lots of little issues like you and considering a 1-2 yr old GX as well. 7,500 miles and had my first bout of death wobble on the highway a few days ago. Another thing to add to the list and have never been so disappointed in a brand new vehicle. Problem now is they're heavily discounting new Gladiators and trade in/resale values have really tanked.
