Wouxun KG-UV9D Plus
For those who wished for it, you’re in luck. Now Wouxun is granting that wish, and just in time for the holidays, with the introduction of the new Wouxun KG-UV9D (Plus)!
The KG-UV9D (Plus) has all of the standard features of the KG-UV9D, plus cross-band repeat capability. It also has 6 additional menu items, most of which are related to cross-band repeat configuration.
While the Plus does look nearly identical to the standard 9D cosmetically, on closer inspection there are noticeable differences. The buttons on keypad of the UV9D are somewhat square, but the buttons on the 9D Plus are rounded. The speaker grill on the Plus is wider, and the knobs on top are shorter and wider. The PTT button looks and feels different as well, with a bit more play on the edges. The chassis of the UV9D Plus is also a little thicker, measuring about a millimeter or so more than the regular 9D.
However, both radios use the same battery, belt clip, desktop charger, case and other accessories, plusthey use the same Kenwood K1 accessory connector, which means if you already have a 9D, adding a 9D Plus to the mix really won’t be much of an issue.
The KG-UV9D (Plus) is news, to be sure, but here’s the real kicker. This radio isn’t available in a general release. It is currently only available as a part of a special package for the 2015 holiday season –The Wouxun KG-UV9D (Plus) Limited Edition!

You can also transmit on one band while you receive on the other at the same time!
But its multi-function operation isn’t limited to your transmission and reception. The KG-UV9D (Plus) also features multiple scan functionality, such as Priority scan, channel group scan, and CTCSS/DCS scan.Plus, using its dual receive capaility, the KG UV9D Plus can scan two bands at the same time.

It’s also standard on the KG-UV9D PLUS to give you the screen space you need for full operation of a multi-function radio working two bands at the same time. The display is adjustable, with five levels of brightness. You can customize the settings for your viewing comfort and conserve battery power as needed. With the KG-UV9D-PLUS in your hand, you control your transceiver!
