Great Satellite Radio review by Scott on 8/19/2023

First, thank you for the awesome customer service. I bought this radio for satellite use. It has some full duplex quirks, but it's easy to get use to. I loaded up my local repeater, and received some great audio reports. As it has been mentioned by other reviewers, the display is hard to see when in full sun. It's easily programmed. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Works for what I was needing review by AA4SS on 1/31/2023

I picked up this radio due to it's duplex feature. I got it to work satellites in the field. Programing via the software was pretty straight forward. Got it programed for satellites and was able to make a contact on my first try using a arrow antenna from my driveway. Was also able to make a contact during Winter Field Day. So far happy with the radio for the purpose I use it for.
Excellent quality, excellent price. review by Buck on 6/15/2022

Being a "newbie" to the Ham, I didn't quite know what to get... after ample research and reviews, this was my choice, and I'm glad I purchased this radio.
Disappointed review by Fourwayz on 6/13/2022

I was away and ill and finally got the chance to progragm the radio for my needs. After programming, it emits a LOUD tone with no transmit. I have since purchased an antenna and pressed my old radio back in to service. Used the daily version of chirp. The old version of this radio easily programmed... not so the plus.

Good solid radio. Quality speaker, and I have had nothing but good solid signal reports when using this. Programming software is not the best, just stick to Chirp for programming this.

Overall I am very happy with this radio would definitely recommend.
Actually gives 5W like advertised review by W7COP on 11/16/2021

I would definitely program it with chirp. Definitely solid, good volume and sound quality. Better than the major competitors. I’ve recommended them to other Hams.
Great value review by Jt on 11/11/2020

Been using the 8D+ for two weeks. So far, it works well. Programming manually was easy. Perfect for my needs..an inexpensive radio that performs, and can be left in my kit bag.
For the money...a good product.

Received the radio ahead of time. At first they sent me a refurbished one but after contacting Buy Two Way Radio, it was solved quickly and they sent me a brand new replacement. The receive and transmit quality are great. Great radio for the price.
Love my new Wouxun KG-UV8D Plus Dual Band Amateur Radio w/ 2 review by Johnny Mac on 7/2/2018

I love my new Wouxun KG-UV8D Plus Dual Band Amateur Radio w/ 2600 mAh Battery - not so much the programming software that come with it, though. The radio is fantastic including the quality of the hardware, the ease of use and the higher capacity battery. On the other hand, the included software leaves a lot to be desired in so many ways. I hated to have to buy the RT Systems software, but the $50 expense was well worth it considering the terrific value of this radio.
I not only would buy this radio again. I did. review by N7GQP on 9/27/2017

I'm a ham and a member of ARES. I run the communications for our 1000 home community, with 50 frs/gmrs radios through out the neighborhood. In an emergency situation I provide communication to the ARES and County Emergency Management. These radio's cover all the frequencies needed to communicate from FRS/GMRS to Ham vhf/uhf and to monitor other emergency frequencies. Great price for what it does. I also have 4 ea 2600mah batteries.
Great radio; super display! review by Tim on 4/18/2017

Good, inexpensive radio review by K4RRT on 4/3/2016

I bought this radio to replace a Baofeng that I lost. The quality of the build and the ease of programming is far greater then the Baofeng products. While it's not on the caliber of a Yaesu or Kenwood, it is a great little radio for the price
