GENOAK Wouxun KG-805G User’s Guide
Version 1.6 | 1/9/2021
This guide provides detailed information on the use of the Wouxun KG-805G radio (“Wouxun”)
recommended by the GENOAK (GMRS Emergency Network – Oakland) program:
www.genoak.org/
The Wouxun is a GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) 2-way radio (“walkie-talkie”). GENOAK is an
emergency neighborhood-to-neighborhood radio network from the Oakland Firesafe Council’s
Oakland Community Preparedness & Response (OCP&R) program:
www.oaklandcpandr.org/
GENOAK utilizes a GMRS “repeater” that provides the ability for 2-way GMRS radios such as the
Wouxun to communicate over greater distances and around obstacles such as terrain, foliage and
infrastructure that may otherwise hinder signals. For more info, visit:
www.genoak.org/repeater/
Note that a GMRS license and call sign from the FCC are required to talk on the GENOAK
network.
All members of a household can share one license and call sign. For more information on
obtaining your GMRS license and call sign, visit:
www.genoak.org/communications/
