⚠️ Amateur Radio License Required
This is an amateur (Ham) radio. An Amateur Radio Operator Certificate from ISED (Industry Canada) or the FCC is strictly required to legally transmit using this device.
Advanced Cross-Band & Satellite Comms.
The Wouxun KG-UV8D(Plus) is a significant step up from entry-level handhelds. Designed for the intermediate-to-advanced amateur radio enthusiast, this transceiver unlocks powerful network capabilities that are usually reserved for expensive mobile base stations.
The standout feature of the KG-UV8D+ is its true dual reception and cross-band repeater functionality. You can hoist this radio into a tree or place it on a mountaintop to act as a temporary repeater, extending the range of your group's other handhelds. The dual-receive capability also makes this an exceptional tool for tracking and working FM satellites, including the International Space Station (ISS).
