My instruction sheet for the WOUXUN KG-UV2D 2M / 220 Mhz (or 440 Mhz) HANDY TALKIE ( HT ) * The radio has one single bank of 128 memories to hold both the 2M and 220 frequencies. The two displays do not separate the 2M and 220 bands. Each display only has access to the same single bank of 128 memories - but the two displays may be in any "display" combination of frequency-channel, channel-number, or by a given channel name It may be advantageous to keep 2 Meter frequencies grouped separately from 220 frequencies. I kept my 2M memories in 1 to 49 and 220s in 50+ , that way you can more easily keep "A" display on 2 Meter frequencies and "B" on 220 frequencies, or vice-versa. The hard part is getting all your
memory-channel information ready and organized in advance, knowing a few
extraordinary menu items, and precisely setting the all menu selections before
starting the programming process. Learn and examine all 30 menus to familiarize yourself with them. If you’re new
to ham radio, use the manual or do a computer search for setup items you haven’t
learned about yet Most menu items are self explanatory & straight forward - except for: BCL 13 it’s not a busy scan channel lock out, what it does - if a channel is busy or has noise, then it inhibits transmit on that channel. Personally - I leave it turned off. I guess if you had your volume off or very low then if might save some embarrassment and keep you from breaking in on top of somebody, It could also leave you out when you double, or keep someone from catching your voice. PF1 20 is a definable function key ( small button just below the Push-To-Talk key ) you can choose scan, lamp, SOS, radio, or off (do nothing). There is scan button already, so lamp or radio ( local FM music ) are good choices. Personally - I chose FM Music. FM Music: You can set two banks of 9 FM music channels: Set the PF1 to "radio" and press the PF1 key. A FM music frequency will appear. Scan key to the frequency you want or turn the knob ( can’t direct enter ), to memorize this frequency press MENU & press 1 to 9. To save in the second bank ( Team 2 ) press MENU , # , # ( till Team 2 appears ) & press 1 to 9. Press PF1 to return to the amateur frequencies. Listen to music: Press PF1 and 1 to 9, or # for Team 2 bank and 1 to 9. ABR 22 is the auto backlight - lights display a couple of seconds when you do something. SECOND 25 is a stopwatch feature, turn it on with the menu and the # -key symbol starts and stops the stopwatch. The A/B or Exit with take it off the display. It remains on till you turn it off via the menu. Remember: SCAN key also acts as the Reverse Key, to see if you can hear the input to the repeater, and if you Transmit, it will Transmit on the output freq of the repeater. Handy - if the repeater is down. Press again to cancel. Note: Since this model of this radio doesn’t have Scan-Memory-Channel-Lock-Out, and if you memorize a overly-busy repeater, a noisy repeater, or a Weather Service memory - then you really can’t use the scan button, because the scan will stop when it reaches one of these busy channels. So, if you enjoy scanning to keep up with your area, then you may not want to save any overly-busy frequencies that would constantly stop the scan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO SET A MENU ITEM: To use the MENU button (for most menus): Press Menu to "Start a Menu" Dial, UP, Down, or enter a menu number 1 to 30 Press Menu to select that needed menu Press Menu to activate and drop down to selections Dial, UP or Down to make a specific selection Press Menu to "Accept" what setting you have chosen Wait a second or press Exit to go back to freq or memory mode. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Get your repeaters and simplex
frequencies in order.
Sort into groups that have the same non-changeable setup items: 1-Step, 4-Power, 8-Wide, 13-BCL, 15-R-CTC,
16-T-CTC (PL Tone), 17-T-DCS, 18-T-DCS,
23-Offset, and 24-Shift-dir (as shown in my spreadsheet example for Memphis
below). NOTE: These menus: 1, 4, 8, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24 are permanent to memory-channels & can not be changed unless the memory is deleted, the menu is set correctly, and then the memory is saved again. DO FIRST: Menu 21: set to FREQ ( like VFO mode ), to allow many of the menu changes Menu 1: STEP to 5.0K (or what your band needs to enter frequencies) Menu 2: Squelch set to 3 ( changeable later up to 9 ) Menu 3: Battery Saver = ON is ok Menu 4: TXP Transmit Power, to minimize RF exposure, as a rule you should only use the least amount of power needed to achieve communications. If you are using your HT as a mobile rig with an external antenna - then high power may be appropriate, if you live close to a favorite repeater then low power may be appropriate. Test your HT to see what repeaters you can key-up and communicate on. You could also save (duplicate) some or all of your memories using the low power setting on a different range of channel numbers. Menu 5: "Roger" signal, I left mine OFF Menu 6: Transmit Time out Timer, I used 60 seconds, probably ok Menu 7: Voice Activated Transmit ( VOX ) leave OFF ( unless you need it ) Menu 8: Wide deviation, set at WIDE - unless you know a specific repeater requires narrow Menu 9: Voice, leave OFF, I couldn't hear it anyway Menu 10: Time Out Alarm before (menu 6) shuts transmit down, 5 seconds probably ok Menu 11: Beep, OFF unless you like to hear key button beeps Menu 12: Power on message, BATT-V to see your battery is ok Menu 13: Busy Channel Lock (can't transmit on top of somebody), I prefer OFF Menu 14: (15 sec.) Auto Lock keypad, I prefer OFF, ( hold in # to unlock) Menu 15: R-CTC to OFF (unless you want to only receive via tone control) Menu 16: Transmit PL tone, must be set
correctly to access some repeaters Menu 17: R-DCS to OFF (unless you want to use digital coded squelch) Menu 18: T-DCS to OFF (unless you want to use digital coded squelch) Menu 19: SC-REV Scanning method, I've always liked CO carrier operated, it'll listen for a while & continue. TO will stop for 5 seconds. SE will stop scan at a squelch break and stay there. Menu 20: PF1 is a definable function key, see explanation notes above Menu 22: ABR is the short time auto backlight, ON is probably better Menu 23: Offset to .6 Mhz for 2M, 1.6 Mhz for 220, 5 Mhz for 440, zero for simplex Menu 24: Shift Direction set to "-" or "+" for repeaters, or Off for simplex Menu 25: Second is a stopwatch feature, ON is ok, details above Menu 26: Channel Name, can't be entered till a frequency is memorized Menu 27: Memorize-Channel, values in all menus (freq-VFO mode) will save to a memory channel you select, it is non-changeable unless you delete and resave Menu 28: Delete-Channel, erases a channel Menu 29: Reset VFO functions parameters or ALL transceiver settings, personally I did the "ALL" to get back to a new fresh radio status Menu 30: SCAN CD, searches for transmitted Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System sub audible PL tones, or for Digital Coded Squelch, see instruction manual for operation
