KG-UV9G GMRS Two-Way Radio Transceiver & Scanner FCC PART 95E Certied FCC ID: WVTWOUXUN19 FCC PART 95 Warning This device operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies, which require an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) license. You must be licensed prior to transmitting on these frequencies. Serious penalties could result for unlicensed use of GMRS frequencies in violation of FCC rules, as stipulated in the Communications Acts Sections 501 and 502 (amended). You will be issued a call sign by the FCC, which should be used for station identication when operating the radio on GMRS frequencies. You should also cooperate by engaging in permissible transmissions only, avoiding channel interference with other GMRS users, and being prudent with the length of your transmission time. To obtain a license or ask questions about the license application, contact the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC or go to the FCC's website: http://www.fcc.gov and request form 605. Station ID Your GMRS station call sign must be transmitted using voice in the English language, or with intl. Morse code telegraphy using an audible tone: (a) Following a single transmission or a series of transmissions; and (b) After 15 minutes and at least once every 15 minutes thereafter during a series of transmissions lasting more than 15 minutes. You may use a Unit # after your call sign. Feature Dierences The following features available in the original KG-UV9P have been removed or modied to comply with FCC GMRS regulations. Default Channel Programming Chart The following factory/default channels are restored after performing a RESET ALL function [MENU 61_RESET | ALL]. Cross-Band Repeater: Removed; Not allowed on GMRS. Shift Direction: GMRS repeaters are positive oset only.
+ Shift Direction: Allowed only on GMRS repeater pairs. Power Levels: Restricted on some frequencies per FCC. Ch. 1-7 (H) | Ch. 8-14 (L only) | Ch. 15-30 (H) L = 0.5 Watts | M = 2 Watts | H = 5 Watts Feature Additions & Improvements The following features have been added or improved upon from the original KG-UV9P. Scanning Advance: When scanning in TO or CO Scan Modes [MENU 28_SCREV], you can now rotate the Channel Knob in either direction to immediately advance/resume scanning when youve encountered an unwanted signal. See Scanning section on page 4 for more details. Basic Operation Key Presses: The PF2 & PF3 side-keys and several front panel keypad keys allow short and long presses to access primary & secondary functions (such as for the REV/SCAN functions see the Programmable Function Keys section on the reverse). A long-press involves holding down a key for about 12 seconds to activate the alternate key function, rather than a momentary short-press for the primary key function. CH #

SE Scan Mode: Scans until a signal strong enough to break squelch is received, then exits scanning, remaining on the current channel or frequency. TO Scan Mode: Scans until a signal is received, pauses for 5 seconds to preview the signal, then resumes scanning. CO Scan Mode: Scans until a signal is received, pauses until the signal ceases, then resumes scanning if no signal returns after 3 seconds. You can select the Scan Group assigned to each receiver independently. Use the BAND key to select the desired MAIN receiver, then set with [MENU 49_SCN-GP | 0110]. To start scanning channels or frequencies on the current MAIN band, long-press the key. To start scanning on the other receiver, press the BAND key to make it the MAIN receiver, then long-press the key. Use [MENU 60] to control Sub-Band Muting and the BAND key to select the primary (MAIN) scanning receiver. To stop scanning, switch to the desired receiver using the BAND key, then press any other key (other than the BAND key, such as EXIT or again). If you encounter an unwanted signal while scanning in the TO or CO Scan Modes, you can rotate the Channel Knob in either direction to immediately advance/resume scanning. 108 MHz in 100 kHz steps. It oers an IN FRQ VFO Mode with SE Scanning, Memory Save, and Memory Call functions with 20 dedicated memories. When operating the FM Radio, the MAIN &
Sub-Band receivers will be watching for active signals (if in TDR Dual Receive Mode) and will mute the FM Radio and play the MAIN or Sub-Band audio instead. When the signal ceases, the KG-UV9G will resume playing the current FM Radio station. Enter the FM Radio feature with a PF2 short-press. Short-
press again to exit the FM Radio feature. Toggle between IN FRQ/Save/Call modes with a # short-
press. Press the key to scan for an active FM Radio station. Use the 19 keys or Channel Knob to enter/select a frequency or memory channel in IN FRQ/Call modes, then press the MENU key to commit to the selection. Adding New Channels: You can add new simplex GMRS Tx/
Rx or other Scanner Rx-Only channels to your KG-UV9G with the keypad, as desired (add repeater channels via software only). Enter the VFO/FREQ Mode (see Keypad Shortcuts above). Use the Channel Knob, or 19 keys to select or enter the desired Rx frequency. Write the frequency as a new channel using [MENU 30_MEM-
CH | 001999]. Unused memory channels will display in red. Press MENU to commit writing to memory. TIP: You can use the free programming software to change the BetterSafeRadio display message to your own Call Sign! (16 chars.) Switch to Channel Mode and use the Function Menu to set any desired parameters, such as W/N, TXP, Rx-CTC/DCS, Tx-CTC/DCS, ROGER, BCL, SCAN-GRP & SCAN-ADD, etc. 4
