Repeater Mode Operation

In addition to its capabilities as a powerful mobile GMRS transceiver, two Wouxun 

KG-1000G radios can be physically connected together to create a fully functional 

GMRS repeater. 

How to configure two radios into a repeater 

Through the RPT-SET function [MENU 32, p 59], you can set up the two indi-

vidual units to communicate between each other to operate in tandem as one repeater 

transceiver. 
Through MENU 32 RPT-SET, you can set the two transceivers as a directional repeat-

er.
1.  Using the RPT-SET menu option, set one transceiver as the repeater receiver by 

selecting the RPT-RX option. Set the other transceiver as the repeater transmitter 

by selecting the T-W RPT option. 

2.  Connect these two transceivers with the 8 pin data cable (model SCO-002) sup-
