Wouxun KG-UV8D Cross-Band Repeater

Crossband repeat operations on the Wouxun KG-UV8D dual band multifunctional two-way radio. This demo explains differences in the cross band repeater functions of the KG-UV8D.

The Wouxun KG-UV8D dual-band transceiver has 2 repeater settings accessed via Menu 37:

1) X-DIRPT mode (Directional Cross Band Repeat) which allows either VHF to UHF or UHF to VHF repeat.

2) X-TWRPT mode (Two Way Cross Band Repeat) allows both options (VHF to UHF or UHF to VHF), but not simultaneously. The first active receive signal takes repeat priority. When that signal drops, both receivers return to active standby.


To prevent receiver overload, the UV8D will not allow same band VHF/VHF or UHF/UHF repeating. As one would expect, the isolation to allow this just isn't there. If you are planning to run the transmitter on a continuous duty basis, you want to run in the low power position. The internal heat sink can only do so much heat distribution.
