The Wouxun KG-935G Plus is an extremely powerful and versatile portable handheld GMRS radio designed for power users who want maximum performance coupled with maximum functionality. Although it is nearly identical to the original KG-935G in outward appearance and core functions, it includes significant upgrades to existing features and introduces new ones, several of which are also new to two way radios altogether.
As with the original, the 935G Plus transmits on the 15 high powered GMRS simplex channels and the 8 repeater channels at up to 5.5 watts. It can also transmit on Channels 8-14, albeit at low output power, in compliance with FCC rules. This is not one of those minimum wattage, consumer grade, "bubble pack" GMRS walkie talkies found on the shelf at a big box store. The KG-935G Plus is a professional grade, portable handheld GMRS powerhouse.

Programming the KG-935G Plus
As it is with all Wouxun GMRS radios we carry, the KG-935G Plus is fully programmable from a PC using a programming cable and the Wouxun KG-935G Plus programming software or directly from the keypad of the radio itself. In fact, while customizing the original KG-935G from the keypad is fairly easy overall, The KG-935G+ is now even easier, thanks to a brand new feature introduced with this model - the Channel Wizard.
Direct from the radio
If you already know how to program new channels and frequencies into the Wouxun KG-935G or another Wouxun radio, you're all set. If not, or if you are new to programming radios altogether, no worries. The KG-935G Plus owners manual is specifically written to get you up to speed quickly. The manual is written in plain English with instructions that are easy to understand. To make it even easier and faster, you can use the Channel Wizard.
Using the Channel Wizard
The KG-935G Plus has a built in wizard to make is super easy to program a channel into the radio. Called the Channel Wizard, this is a new function that allows you to quickly and easily program a new channel or modify an existing channel direct from the keypad of the radio itself. With the Channel Wizard, you can add or clone new channels into the radio in mere seconds. You can also change the settings in any existing channel. The wizard lets you do all of this without scrolling through the menu to find and set each individual channel option, and without the need for programming software.
There are two ways to access the Channel Wizard. The standard method is to hold the MENU button down for 3 seconds. This will take you directly into it. The second method is to press [MENU] + [6] + [1] and the screen will display: CH-WIZARD. There are ten menu functions in the Channel Wizard, each with their own sub-menu. Go to the first menu item and press [MENU] to enter its sub-menu. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys to choose the option you want from that sub-menu, then press [MENU] to enter your choice. This will take you back to the Channel Wizard menu to go to the next or previous Channel Wizard menu function.
The last Channel Wizard menu function is [SAVE-MODE]. You must choose this function to save your channel settings and add, clone or save your channel to the radio. You can choose to save your channel and create another channel or save the channel and exit the Channel Wizard.
Of course, you can opt to enter and save a channel or frequency independently through the individual menu items instead. While not as fast as the Channel Wizard, this method does allow you tweak a specific channel setting as needed.
The KG-935G Plus menu consists of 62 items. Default settings are bold.
