Product Description

Want supercharged transmit power in the palm of your hand? The Wouxun KG-UV8H is the amateur radio you need! This dual band, dual frequency UHF/VHF amateur handheld transceiver powers up the wattage, features, display and durability!

The KG-UV8H operates on 6 watts UHF and up to 8 watts VHF and will transmit on the 2m and 70cm amateur radio bands (144-148 MHz/420-450 MHz). To the standard features of the KG-UV8D, it adds NOAA weather channels, weather alert, and an upgraded LCD display. It also operates as a scanning receiver, and can be programmed to receive on frequencies in the 136-174 MHZ and 400-480 MHz ranges.

The KGUV8H features 999 programmable channels with CTCSS/DCS, channel name edit and display, Dual Standby, FM radio, DTMF encoding, SOS function, low voltage voice prompt, VOX (Voice Operated Transmit) for hands-free operation and a high illumination flashlight.

The KG-UV8HT supports duplex cross-band repeat! Transmit on one band while you receive on the other simultaneously. You can also receive two signals at the same time on the same band! This is perfect for working satellites.

Wouxun upgraded the display to give the KG-UV8H a powerfully pleasing face. The classic Wouxun color LCD screen is now larger and easier to read, with four selectable color configurations. The screen has plenty of room to display all the information needed to operate the radio on both bands in any mode. The default display mode features a dark background, but can be switched to a light background if preferred.

The KG-UV8H is powered by a 7.4v 3200mAh high capacity Li-Ion battery pack for increased uptime on maximum power. It allows you to control output with high or low selectable power options and has a Power Saver Mode to help increase efficiency and preserve battery life.

The Wouxun KG-UV8H includes a battery pack, belt clip, removable antenna, wrist strap, desktop charger, AC cord, manual and a one year warran

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Radio
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024

This is a great HT at a fair price. This is solid construction. The screen does go to sleep to conserve battery life, which took some getting used to, but I do like that function. Easy to program and easy to operate it. I use it for all of the ARES deployments I do. If I drop it or ruin it some other way, not to worry... it's a lot less expensive than my Yaesu FT3 was :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice quality. Exactly as listed for RX/TX range.
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2023
Verified Purchase
The UV8H is exactly as described in the listing. Transmits within the HAM bands, but is receive only on the GMRS/FRS frequencies. Radio feels high quality, the screen is nice, and the dials are stiff, so no worries about turning it down accidentally. If you’ve ever programmed a Baofeng this should be easy to pick up and understand. It is not officially supported by Chirp as of 3/4/23 which is a bit of a bummer. However, you can find a Chirp module with quick google search, in beta, that will allow Chirp to work. There are also additional batteries sold by Wouxun that allow for USB-C charging too, which means I Can throw it in a glovebox and never worry about power. Overall if you can figure out getting Chirp working it’s a great little radio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great radio that can be your do everything!

Love this radio. Excellent build quality and sound. This can be frequency unlocked to cover those GMRS/FRS ranges if that is what youre inclined to do making it a perfect cover all your bases type radio. All the software worked on my Windows 11 machine with a baefong programming cable. The screen is beautiful. The CPS sofware is not as good as CHIRP but gets the job done. Though an official CHIRP module is close. Mine had an extra battery in the box though I am sure that is not standard.

Good radio so far. If programming with chirp there is no kg-uv8h driver so I used the kg-uv935 driver.
It seems that the settings tab is not working for this radio but the everything else seems ok. Would buy again.
But next will be a dmr like an anyone 878.
