Page 15: Operation
10 years. The KG-905G was designed to allow you to take advantage of all that GMRS has to offer and more. Right out of the box this radio is configured to allow you to transmit on the 15 high powered GMRS simplex channels, 8 low powered simplex channels, as well as the 8 repeater channels. -
Page 16: Your First Transmit
Your First Transmit Selecting a Channel When you power on your KG-905G for the first time, the display will likely show “GMRS01” in the center with “CH-01” and “G-01” just above. GMRS01 is the name of the currently selected channel. G-01 is the currently selected channel group, and CH-01 is the channel number within the group. - Page 17 Group 04: This is the repeater group. These channels correspond to the channels in group 03, but transmit on a special offset frequency set aside for repeaters. See page 19 for more information about using the KG-905G with repeaters.

Page 18: Channels And Channel Groups
Channels and Channel Groups The KG-905G supports channel groups, which allow you to essentially categorize channels for easier access. By default the 30 built-in channels are divided into 4 channel groups, described in the Selecting a Channel section (page 16). -

[SCN-GP] menu option (page 33) to adjust the scan function to only scan a specific group number. The KG-905G supports 16 groups with 16 channels per group. Channels can be added, deleted or reordered via the PC programming software. Using the Repeater Channels The KG-905G is pre-configured with 8 GMRS repeater channels. - Page 20 Operation that transmission on a different frequency. Repeaters are often set up in a fixed location and connected to an antenna that is mounted at a higher elevation to provide better range than is normally available with radio-to-radio (simplex) communications. Locating a Repeater Using GMRS repeaters can significantly increase the range of your radio, but just tun- ing to one of the repeater channels isn’t necessarily going to work.
- Page 21 Operation Operation KG-905G Repeater Channels Group 04 channels (RPT-15 through RPT-22) have the same receive frequency as Group 03 channels (GMRS-15 through GMRS-22). However, the transmit frequency for these channels is assigned to a frequency specifically designated as a GMRS repeater input frequency.
