Page 25: Operation
10 years. The KG-935G Plus 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 and 8 low powered simplex channels, as well as the 8 repeater channels.
Page 26: Power On/Off And Adjusting Volume
Your First Transmit Selecting a Channel When you power on your KG-935G Plus for the first time, the display will likely show “GMRS-01” in the center with “CH-001” in the upper right corner. GMRS-01 is the name of the currently selected channel. CH-001 is the channel number. Turn the Channel Knob or the [UP] / [DOWN] arrow keys to navigate through the list of channels.
Page 27 ▪ Transmitting on GMRS channels 1-7 is limited to 5 watts of output power. These channels can only transmit at up to Mid power (5 watts) on the KG-935G Plus. ▪ Transmitting on channels 8-14 is limited to a half watt of output power and is for use on Low power only.

Page 32: Channels And Privacy Codes
Operation Channels and Privacy Codes The KG-935G 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 33 Operation Operation are named RPT-15 through RPT-22. What is a Repeater? In basic terms, a repeater is a device that is used to increase the range of two way radios. Repeaters will receive a transmission on one frequency and simultaneously rebroadcast that transmission on a different frequency.
Page 34 The description on the myGMRS website usually indi- cates if permission is required and provides a way to get in touch with the owner. KG-935G Plus Repeater Channels RPT-15 through RPT-22 have the same receive frequency as channels GMRS-15 through GMRS-22.
