–– Feature Additions & Improvements ––
The following features have been added or improved upon from the original
KG-UV9P.!
•Scanning Advance: When scanning in TO or CO Scan
Modes [MENU 28_SC–REV], you can now rotate the Channel
Knob in either direction to immediately advance/resume
scanning when you’ve encountered an unwanted signal. See
Scanning section on page 4 for more details.
–– Basic Operation ––
•Key Presses:The PF2 & PF3 side-keys and several front
panel keypad keys allow short and long presses to access
primary & secondary functions (such as ✱for the REV/SCAN
functions — see the Programmable Function Keys section
on the reverse).
•A “long-press” involves holding down a key for about 1–2
seconds to activate the alternate key function, rather than a
momentary “short-press” for the primary key function.

FCC PART 95E Certified
FCC ID: WVTWOUXUN19!
FCC PART 95 Warning
This device operates on GMRS (General
Mobile Radio Service) frequencies, which
require an FCC (Federal Communications
Commission) license. You must be
licensed prior to transmitting on these
frequencies. Serious penalties could
result for unlicensed use of GMRS
frequencies in violation of FCC rules, as
stipulated in the Communications Act’s
Sections 501 and 502 (amended). You
will be issued a call sign by the FCC,
which should be used for station
identification when operating the radio
on GMRS frequencies. You should also
cooperate by engaging in permissible
transmissions only, avoiding channel
interference with other GMRS users,
and being prudent with the length of
your transmission time. To obtain a
license or ask questions about the
license application, contact the FCC at
1-888-CALL-FCC or go to the FCC's
website: http://www.fcc.gov and
request form 605.!
Thank you and congratulations on purchasing the most
advanced GMRS Two-Way Radio & Scanner ever made.
The WOUXUN KG-UV9G is built upon the trusted performance,
proven design and quality manufacturing of the KG-UV9D(Plus) and
KG-UV9P amateur radios. It has been modified to comply with FCC
GMRS specifications and regulations to deliver unparalleled
recreational, EmComm and SHTF communications & scanning.!

•Scanning:The KG-UV9G GMRS radio offers single or dual
receiver scanning with 3 different Scan Modes.#
•SE Scan Mode:Scans until a signal strong enough to
break squelch is received, then exits scanning, remaining
on the current channel or frequency.#
•TO Scan Mode:Scans until a signal is received, pauses
for 5 seconds to preview the signal, then resumes scanning.#
•CO Scan Mode:Scans until a signal is received, pauses
until the signal ceases, then resumes scanning if no signal
returns after 3 seconds.#
•You can select the Scan Group assigned to each receiver
independently. Use the BAND key to select the desired
MAIN receiver, then set with [MENU 49_SCN-GP |01∼10].#
•To start scanning channels or frequencies on the current
MAIN band, long-press the ✱key.#
•To start scanning on the other receiver, press the BAND key
to make it the MAIN receiver, then long-press the ✱key.
Use [MENU 60] to control Sub-Band Muting and the BAND
key to select the primary (MAIN) scanning receiver. #
•To stop scanning, switch to the desired receiver using the
BAND key, then press any other key (other than the BAND
key, such as EXIT or ✱again).#
•If you encounter an unwanted signal while scanning in the
TO or CO Scan Modes, you can rotate the Channel Knob
in either direction to immediately advance/resume
scanning.#
TIP: You can use the free programming software to change the
“BetterSafeRadio” display message to your own Call Sign! (16 chars.)
–– Basic Operation (cont.) ––#
•Function Menu: Press the MENU key to enter the function
Menu. Use the Channel Knob, ▲▼ or 1∼9keys to select a
function. Press MENU again to Edit the selected function.
Use the same procedure to select or enter a value, then press
MENU again to write any changes. Press MENU or EXIT to
exit the function Menu. You can press EXIT any time to abort
the current Menu operation without saving the change.#
•Receiving:Turn the radio on by rotating the On/Off/Volume
Knob clockwise. Use the Channel Knob or ▲▼ keys to
select the desired channel. Adjust the Volume as needed.#
•Main:Toggle the active MAIN receiver with the BAND key.#
•Single/Dual Receive:Toggle Single or Dual Receive Mode
with the TDR (True Dual Receive) key. #
•Sub-Band Muting:You can choose if you want audio on
the Sub-Band Receiver muted (in TDR Dual mode) when a
signal is received (even while scanning), when you transmit
on the MAIN receiver, or both. Use [MENU 60_S-MUTE |
ALL, OFF, RX-MUTE, TX-MUTE, R/T MUTE] to toggle.#
•Transmitting:Choose a channel or frequency using the
Channel Knob, ▲▼ or 1∼9keys. Short-press PF3 to confirm
the channel is not in use, then again to mute. Hold the radio
upright a few inches from your mouth with the display facing
you. Press & hold the PTT key and speak at a normal,
consistent volume. Release the PTT key to stop transmitting.#
CAUTION: Do NOT transmit without an antenna attached, with a damaged
antenna, while touching the antenna, around explosives, or while refueling
a vehicle. Operate only with batteries & chargers designed for this radio.

•FM Radio:The Commercial FM Radio feature tunes from 76 to
108 MHz in 100 kHz steps. It offers an IN FRQ VFO Mode with SE
Scanning, Memory Save, and Memory Call functions with 20
dedicated memories. When operating the FM Radio, the MAIN &
Sub-Band receivers will be “watching” for active signals (if in TDR
Dual Receive Mode) and will mute the FM Radio and play the
MAIN or Sub-Band audio instead. When the signal ceases, the
KG-UV9G will resume playing the current FM Radio station.#
•Enter the FM Radio feature with a PF2 short-press. Short-
press again to exit the FM Radio feature.#
•Toggle between IN FRQ/Save/Call modes with a #short-
press.#
•Press the ✱key to scan for an active FM Radio station.#
•Use the 1∼9keys or Channel Knob to enter/select a
frequency or memory channel in IN FRQ/Call modes, then
press the MENU key to commit to the selection.#
•Adding New Channels: You can add new simplex GMRS Tx/
Rx or other Scanner Rx-Only channels to your KG-UV9G with the
keypad, as desired (add repeater channels via software only).#
•Enter the VFO/FREQ Mode (see Keypad Shortcuts above).#
•Use the Channel Knob, ▲▼ or 1∼9keys to select or enter the
desired Rx frequency.#
•Write the frequency as a new channel using [MENU 30_MEM-
CH |001∼999]. Unused memory channels will display in red.
Press MENU to commit writing to memory.#
•Switch to Channel Mode and use the Function Menu to set
any desired parameters, such as W/N, TXP, Rx-CTC/DCS,
Tx-CTC/DCS, ROGER, BCL, SCAN-GRP & SCAN-ADD, etc.
