Wouxun KG-UV980P: Quad-Band Base/Mobile Two-Way Radio
The Wouxun KG-UV980P is a new quad-band base/mobile two-way radio, loaded with versatile features at an exceptionally affordable price. Boasting 4-band transmission and 8-band reception, this high-performance radio delivers up to 40W (UHF) and 50W (VHF) output—ensuring maximum communication range and power without compromising on cost.
Core Features
1. Transmission & Reception Capabilities
- Quad-band transmission (covers 6/4/2/70cm bands) and 8-band reception.
- Output power selectability: VHF (50W/20W/10W/5W) | UHF (40W/20W/10W/5W).
- Twin-band/same-band simultaneous reception for multi-channel monitoring.
- Wide/narrow bandwidth (25KHz/12.5KHz) toggle via one-button operation.
- Superheterodyne receiver with AM reception (108MHz–136MHz) and FM reception (26MHz–987.995MHz, see Technical Specifications for details).
2. Memory & Channel Management
- 999 programmable memory channels for easy access to frequently used frequencies.
-
Advanced channel functions:
- CTCSS/DCS encoding/decoding (supports non-standard settings).
- DTMF encoding/decoding (with DTMF hand microphone).
- Priority channel scanning, grouping channel scanning, and scan channel add/delete.
- Multiple scanning modes for efficient frequency monitoring.
3. Versatile Repeater Modes
The KG-UV980P functions as a full-duplex cross-band mobile repeater, with 5 selectable modes:
- Normal radio mode
- Directional cross-band repeater mode
- Two-way cross-band repeater mode
- Repeater receiving mode (receiver-only)
- Two-way cross-band relay mode (connect two units to build a custom repeater).
Note: A 15-foot extension cable and microphone connection cable (both included) enable linking two KG-UV980P radios for repeater use.
4. Audio & Display
- Triple-speaker setup: Dual built-in chassis speakers (top-mounted) + speaker-integrated DTMF hand microphone (audio power: transceiver ≤3W, hand mic ≤1W).
-
Large dual-frequency LCD display (inherit from the popular KG-UV920P) with:
- Multiple backlight color options.
- Backlit front-panel buttons and hand mic keypad (for low-light visibility).
- Caller ID display and channel name editing.
5. Installation & Customization
- Detachable front panel (separates from the radio body) for flexible placement.
- 2 included switchboard panels: Upward-facing inclined panel | Flat panel (ideal for vehicle installation).
- 15-foot extension cable (included) allows front-panel mounting anywhere in your vehicle.
- Includes mobile mounting bracket and remote front panel bracket for secure installation.
6. Additional Standard Features
- Built-in 76–108MHz FM radio.
- 1750Hz burst tone, 8 groups of scrambler, and stun/kill function.
- Low-voltage voice prompt, reduced noise settings, and remote control (programmable for work modes/reset).
- APO power management, automatic temperature detection, and multiple cooling fan settings.
- Chinese/English voice guide for easy menu navigation.
