  • Page 16: Transceiver Installation

    Installation and Setup Transceiver Installation Choose a safe place inside your vehicle to install the transceiver, considering a location that would not cause harm to passengers while the vehicle is in motion or in case of an accident or sudden braking. Install the transceiver in an area with good ventilation and away from direct exposure to the sun.
  • Page 17 Installation and Setup Installation and Setup 3. Several screw slots are provided along the side of the support bracket to allow for installing the transceiver at different angles.

  • Page 18: Connecting A Power Source

    Installation and Setup Connecting a Power Source The power requirement of the transceiver ranges from 13.8V±15%. If the power source exceeds 16V, TX will be disabled but RX will operate as normal. If the power source falls below 11.5V, the transceiver will automatically shut off to prevent it from draining the battery and affecting the normal operation of the vehicle (See VOLT-ALT, page 78).

  • Page 19: Replacing The Fuse

    In the event that the transceiver blows a fuse, first determine the cause, then replace the fuse. If after installing the new fuse it blows again, disconnect the power source imme- diately and contact your authorized Wouxun dealer for assistance. The specified fuse current is 15A. The specified power source current is 20A and above.

  • Page 20: Connecting An Antenna

    Installation and Setup Connecting an Antenna Before using the transceiver, you must correctly connect a properly tuned and installed antenna. To get the best results, be sure the antenna is tuned for the frequencies that you intend to use, and the antenna’s impedance is 50 ohms. Using an incorrect or improperly installed antenna could harm the transceiver.

  • Page 41: Channels And Privacy Codes

    Channels and Privacy Codes The KG-1000G Plus supports 30 built-in GMRS channels and 155 privacy tones and codes.To successfully communicate between your stations or members of your group, all the connecting radios must be using the same channel and privacy (CTCSS or DCS) code.

  • Page 42: Using The Repeater Channels

    Advanced Operations section (page 87). Using the Repeater Channels The KG-1000G Plus is pre-configured with 8 GMRS repeater channels. The channels are numbered 23-30 and named RPT-15 through RPT-22. What is a Repeater? In basic terms, a repeater is a device that is commonly used to increase the range of two way radios.
  • Page 43 Basic Operation Basic Operation 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) communi- cations. 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 44 Basic Operation As a licensed GMRS user you can also operate your own repeater. The KG-1000G Plus can operate as a repeater when paired with a second unit and connected with a data cable. For more information, read the section on Repeater Mode on page 90.

  • Page 47 Priority Channel Scan When the Priority Channel Scan function is activated using the PRI-SCAN menu op- tion (page 66), the KG-1000G Plus will check the priority channel every 3 seconds for activity during normal operation. The PRI-SCAN menu item has options ON-STBY and ON-ALWYS. If activity is detected on the priority channel with ON-STBY selected, the priority channel activity will be heard only if the radio is not receiving a transmission on the current channel.

  • Page 48: Scanning Ctcss / Dcs Codes

    Basic Operation Scanning CTCSS / DCS Codes The KG-1000G Plus is equipped with the ability to scan an incoming signal for a CTCSS or DCS tone and update the current channel’s tone settings once the tone is identified.

  • Page 91 Advanced Operation Advanced Operation How to Configure Two Radios Into a Repeater Through the RPT-MODE function [MENU 54, p 80], you can set up the two indi- vidual units to communicate between each other to operate in tandem as one repeater transceiver.
  • Page 92 Advanced Operation The two radios can now operate together as one repeater. When the KG-1000G Plus is operating in repeater mode, the screen will display the repeater icon. Additional Repeater Settings When the radios are in repeater mode, selected features can be enabled or disabled. You can turn the speaker on or off by configuring the RPT- SPK option [MENU 55].

Repeater Hold Time (RPT-DLY) – Menu 57 The Repeater Hold Timer is used to prevent the PTT from being used to transmit too frequently. When the PTT on the radio is released after transmitting in repeater mode, the hold time prevents the unit from transmitting for a predermined interval while waiting for a response.

  • Page 95: Dtmf Encoding

    Using the DTMF Keypad The speaker microphone for the KG-1000G Plus has a full function DTMF keypad. While pressing the [PTT] key to transmit, press the key on the keypad that corre- sponds to the DTMF tone that you wish to send.
  • Page 96 DTMF tone that you wish to send. Sending a Radio ID The KG-1000G Plus is capable of automatically sending a radio ID number using DTMF functionality. When activated, the radio ID will be sent during a transmis- sion.
  • Page 97 (page 73). This delay time can be set to one of 30 levels in 100ms increments. Calling a specific radio using an ID The KG-1000G Plus also supports the ability to call another radio directly, using its Radio ID. To enable this function, you must activate and configure all radios in your fleet to transmit the Radio ID (see Sending a Radio ID on page 96) and select either the QT+DTMF or QT*DTMF filter option in SP-MUTE (page 71).

  • Page 98: Remote Control

    Advanced Operation Once a KG-1000G Plus receives a DTMF signal matching its radio ID, it will play a ring sound and then open the speaker to allow the incoming transmission to be heard. The length of the ring sound can be set using the RING option (page 75).
  • Page 99 Advanced Operation Advanced Operation Programming Software Settings Open the Wouxun PC programming software and select the Remote Settings tab. You will see the following configuration information: The RC POWER section determines if the radio will allow a remote power on/off request.

Generally when using radio IDs, each radio in your group should have a unique value. MCC-EDIT: If the radio will have the au- thority to control other radios, enter a con- trol code in this field.
  • Page 101 Advanced Operation Advanced Operation CTRL-EDIT: If the radio will accept requests to have settings changed remotely, enter a control code in this field. The controlling radio must have the same code entered into its MCC-EDIT field. In the example configuration in the graphic above, the radio is configured to allow all remote control functions and to perform remote control, as the control code is set to the same valid value (654321) for all three fields.
  • Page 102 Advanced Operation To activate the stun function on a remote radio, perform the following steps. From the controlling radio, transmit a DTMF sequence matching the following: MCC + CB (DTMF stun code) +DTMF ID. Using our example, the transmitted sequence would be: 654321 CB 123456.
  • Page 103 Advanced Operation Advanced Operation Monitor Monitor opens the microphone on a remote radio, forcing the radio to transmit for 15 seconds. No input is needed on the remote radio. To activate the monitor function on a remote radio, perform the following steps. From the controlling radio, transmit a DTMF sequence matching the following: MCC + DA (DTMF monitor code) +DTMF ID.
  • Page 104 SCC and the DTMF ID matches, the inspect function will be activated. Remote Power On/Off The KG-1000G Plus can be powered on and off using remote control. To enable the transceiver to be powered on and off remotely, the RC OPEN setting must be selected in the programming software, a control code entered into the SCC-EDIT field and a DTMF ID must be configured.
  • Page 105 DTMF ID were 123, the following would need to be sent instead: 654# BB 123#. Remote Setting Changes The KG-1000G Plus provides the ability to change several settings remotely including the frequency or channel number of the non-active area, the transmit power, and the RX CTCSS tone or DCS code.
  • Page 106 Advanced Operation must be activated through the radio menu (see REM-CTRL, p. 76), a control code entered into the CTRL-EDIT field of the programming software and a DTMF ID must be configured. In the following examples, assume a CTRL code of 654321 and a DTMF ID of 123456 have been configured in the programming software.
