Stop using business or amateur radios for GMRS! The Wouxun KG-XS20G Plus is FCC approved specifically for GMRS use, so it is completely legal! FCC ID: WVTWOUXUN25
You want the powerful versatility of a premium GMRS mobile radio, but without the premium price? You get it all with the Wouxun KG-XS20G Plus! It takes the best features of a full size mobile radio and puts it all into a very compact package that fits into most any vehicle with ease. And it does all this at a price that won't wallop your wallet. It's not your typical mobile GMRS radio!
The KG-XS20G Plus has 30 GMRS channels, including 8 repeater channels, and can receive on dual UHF and VHF bands. It has NOAA weather channels with alerts, and has a built-in FM radio. It's not your typical in-dash car radio, to be sure.
The XS20G Plus is loaded with features, some that are standard on a few other mainstream GMRS mobiles, but many more that aren't. These include 999 programmable memory channels, simultaneous dual channel receive, channel and frequency modes, wide and narrow bandwidth options, and support for both standard and non-standard CTCSS/DCS tones.and codes, plus split tones and tone scan. It has channel scan, priority channel scanning, and the ability to create up to 10 scan groups. This is not your basic mobile GMRS radio.
Other features include group call, all call and select call options, compander, DTMF encode and decode, high and low power selectivity, single tone pulse frequency, reverse frequency, talk around, an SOS function, English voice prompts and a stopwatch timer. Again, not a basic mobile GMRS radio.
The KG-XS20G Plus is as functional outside the case as it is within. It sports a full color dual channel LCD display that's easy on the eyes. The display has four color themes. It also features a Night Mode option that can be activated by a programmable key. It can display one or both A and B areas of the radio, as well as channel names, numbers or frequencies, plus Caller ID and info on vehicle voltage. A powerful speaker is built into the top of the unit, with ample volume to be heard above noise on the road. A 3.5mm jack on the back of the radio allows you to connect an external speaker as needed.
It's also quite rugged. The Wouxun XS20G Plus is rated IP65 for dust ingress and water resistance and the hand microphone is rated IP55, which makes this a great GMRS radio to take on off-road adventures!
The KG-XS20G Plus includes a handheld speaker mic with a full DTMF keypad. It has TX and RX LED indicators and a volume knob for independent control of the audio on the front of the speaker mic. The keypad on the mic is also backlit for easier operation in the dark.
Speaking of versatility, the Wouxun XS20G Plus is also fully PC programmable. The radio also includes two programmable function keys that can be customized either with the programming software or directly from the menu on the radio itself. One key is located on the front panel of the radio, the other on the side of the hand speaker microphone. Each can be independently programmed to activate two specific features, one with a short press of the key, the second with a long press. Once more, not your typical GMRS mobile.
In addition to its primary function as a mobile radio, the KG-XS20G Plus can also be powered by an optional Wouxun Power Supply (sold separately) to turn your GMRS mobile receiver into a fully operational GMRS base station! How's that for versatility?
The Wouxun XS20G Plus comes with a handheld speaker microphone, mobile mounting bracket, mobile power cord, 12V vehicle power cord, hand microphone hook, fuses, screw set, an easy to understand owner's manual in plain English and a one year manufacturer warranty from Wouxun.

Wouxun KG-XS20G Series Questions and Answers
Yes. This radio is fully compatible with all 22 channel FRS, GMRS, or FRS/GMRS combo radios.
Yes! The KG-XS20G Plus is FCC Part 95E type accepted for legal use on the GMRS. It is also Part 15B type accepted as a scanning receiver. The FCC ID is WVTWOUXUN25.
While this radio is compatible with other FRS/GMRS radios, this is not a consumer grade radio. It was designed with power users in mind. It has many advanced features that would usually appeal more to the avid GMRS operators, such as repeater support and the ability to use PC programming software to customize the channels list. Check the list of features below this FAQ and discover all the advanced capabilities of the XS20G Plus. You won't find some of them on other GMRS type accepted mobile radios!
Yes, if you use the programming software (available from the Downloads tab). The KG-XS20G Plus supports up to 999 programmable channels, and with the software you can add new channels or even remove standard ones. The CTCSS/DCS tones can be customized for each channel and can be different for transmit and receive.
Extra channels are useful for many reasons. If you access different repeaters that use the same frequency but different tones, it's more convenient to add each combination to it's own channel instead of changing tones through the menu. Channels can also be given friendly names instead of a simple number, and the default channel names can be customized.
A
programming cable is required to customize the radio through the software. Check the Accessories tab above for options.
Absolutely! It also supports both standard and non-standard CTCSS/DCS, plus it has the ability to scan for tones and codes.
Yes. Even though this radio can communicate with license free FRS radios, it has several features that make it fall under
the GMRS service and not FRS. Some of these features are: Up to 20 watts of power (FRS limit is 2), removable antenna (FRS must be fixed),
and repeater support (FRS doesn't support repeaters). Check out our
GMRS licensing FAQ page for more info.
