ReadySafeGo™ pre-programmed for GMRS + SHTF* with 251 channels! (a $20+ Value! – download PDF chart above)

User programmable with free Wouxun Customer Programing Software. (download above – requires USB cable, sold separately)

 

The Wouxun KG-916 GMRS radio, now standard with an extended-capacity 2600 mAh USB-C chargeable Li-ion battery, was co-designed by Mark Lindsey (K6LED/WQXR567) and is sold exclusively by BetterSafeRadio. It features a similar high-quality Wouxun double-conversion superheterodyne receiver, performance & pro features found in the KG-UV9G PRO & KG-UV9GX, while remaining easy to use, even for beginners. But unlike other mid-tier Wouxun GMRS radios like the KG-805G and KG-905G, the KG-916 GMRS includes a full keypad for quick field programming in the VFO mode, and direct channel selection.

If you like the clarity and reliability of other Wouxun GMRS radios, then you’ll love the refined functionality, new features and high-quality superheterodyne receiver with amazing audio quality on the 916 for normal everyday GMRS use, as well as for emergency EmComm and SHTF uses.

An optional slimmer 1700 mAh battery pack (sold separately) offers an even lighter, thinner body. Both batteries use the same desk charger as the KG-UV9G, making the KG-916 GMRS a perfect companion radio. Check out all of the Wouxun KG-916 Accessories (more coming soon).

 

Note: The 916 can be RESET by a keypad Menu option. Doing so will return the radio to a standard 30-channel GMRS configuration and will delete all of the other pre-programmed SHTF channels and extra GMRS banks. Please save a backup your radio codeplug (programming file) using the free Wouxun factory software and the “red” Wouxun USB cable (sold separately) in case you ever unintentionally RESET the radio. If you’ve accidentally RESET your radio, please see the restoration options on my Custom Radio Programming Services page.

 

IMPORTANT Wouxun Customer Programming Software Note: Apparently, the software must see the USB cable at COM 1, so you may need to go into the Device Manager and re-assign the Silicon Labs CP210x USB cable to that com port. Reboot after you make this change and then try again. Even after you do this, the software will show the com ports greyed out. This is normal and something Wouxun is supposed to be addressing in the near future.

 

Note: Transmitting on the GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) requires a “no-test” license (currently $35 for 10 years and good for your entire immediate family – typically takes only a few days to obtain your GMRS license from the FCC).

 

Shipping Note: Due to USPS restrictions, orders with 3 or more Li-ion battery packs in a box must be sent by Ground Advantage surface transport. Packages with batteries (with or without a radio) weighing over 5 pounds will need to be split up into multiple shipments, which may require an additional shipping fee. I will contact you about this if necessary. Contact me if you have any questions. Unfortunately, this GMRS radio is not legal for use in Canada, so I am not able to honor orders that ship to Canada at this time (US-based mail forwarding services such as Shippsy.com Stackry.com are fine though). Contact me if you have any questions.

 

Detailed Description

The BSR-Exclusive Wouxun KG-916 GMRS is a 400 channel programmable single-band handheld analog double-conversion superheterodyne FM GMRS two-way radio transceiver with standard UHF receive range, repeater capability (with CTCSS/DCS split-tones and non-standard PL tones), and pro features ideal for families, scouts, SHTF preppers, survivalists, over landers, truckers, businesses, or EmComm emergency communication groups. It has great audio quality, 2.5 kHz tuning steps and comes custom pre-programmed with 251 channels for GMRS + SHTF*, for dual-use GMRS transceiver & analog FM scanner operation. User programmable with free downloadable Wouxun programming software (link above – requires optional USB cable & x86 Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 or 11, or a Mac running Parallels).

With 4+ Watts of power and a talk-around range of 2 to 7+ miles (much more when used with a GMRS repeater or at optimal elevations with minimal line-of-sight obstructions), the KG-916 provides reliable recreational or emergency radio communications for personal disaster preparedness, family outings, scouting, prepping, survival, camping, off-roading, trekking, business operations, Neighborhood Watch, REACT, CERT, Guardian Angels & EARS groups to keep in touch when other methods of communication break down. IP55 rated and Part 95E & 15B FCC Certified. The 916 is custom power calibrated for GMRS simplex & repeater use (at a 465 MHz center) and transmits on all 30 GMRS frequencies with the proper legal power and modulation bandwidth.

The KG-916 comes pre-programmed with 6 ready-to-use banks of GMRS channels, including 1 full GMRS bank (with repeater channels), 3 additional banks of repeater channels, a full “FRS” bank to better facilitate communicating with FRS and older hybrid FRS/GMRS radios (with narrow band and PL/privacy tones set), and a 50-channel Travel Channel bank with every possible CTCSS PL combination to help you quickly find a usable repeater on channel 20, which is commonly used for travel information, safety and emergencies in many areas. You can easily change the PL/Privacy Tones (or DCS Codes) from the front panel on any of these 126 pre-programmed channels. This is handy when you want to program in all the available repeaters in multiple geographical areas without having to re-program on the fly every time. Due to FCC GMRS and radio firmware restrictions, the repeater direction and offset features can’t be programmed from the front panel, which is why I provide the pre-programmed repeater banks. However, the 916 can be easily re-programmed via software to add as many GMRS (or other) channels as you desire, or many more repeater banks that you can then customize on the fly. You can also save an existing repeater channel to another memory channel, allowing you to create additional banks (with the repeater direction & offset features intact). You could use all 400 channels to program 50 banks of all 8 repeater channels, if you wanted to. Or, turn the radio into an all-receive scanner. It’s totally up to you!

Note that when the 916 is reset using the [MENU_50 “RESET”] function, the radio will reset to a default configuration of all 30 GMRS channels, including the 8 repeater channels, which you can then customize the PL/Privacy Tones on as desired. If you ever find yourself in an emergency situation and need to restore basic GMRS functionality quickly, this reset feature will get you there in a few seconds. Note that performing this RESET will wipe all pre-programmed SHTF channels, so make sure you have a backup of the programming before resetting the radio.

The KG-916 operating range is as good or better than any other affordable Commercial/Ham or GMRS radio, even with its included stock duck antenna, which performs well across the full UHF band. As well, with an after-market high-gain duck, whip, telescoping, roll-up, mobile mag-mount or base station antenna, you will see a significantly improved talk range, even when communicating with another stock handheld. Using the Wouxun KG-916 GMRS with a repeater will greatly extend your potential operating range, even as far as 100+ miles.

In addition, the 916 features priority scanning, turning the two-way radio into an effective portable communication device & scanner, especially with a full host of KG-916 accessories (available separately – coming soon).

Check out all of the 916 GMRS accessories, such as the highly-tuned GMRS options from Smiley Antenna or the alkaline battery case.

5 reviews for Wouxun KG-916 GMRS Two-Way Radio & SHTF Scanner

  1. Craig (verified owner)

    THE KG-916 IS A EXCELLENT GREAT GMRS RADIO!!!! I bought 4 of these KG-916 GMRS radio’s from BetterSafeRadio – Performance of the radio is FANTASTIC & EXCELLENT. Easy to program PL Tones & DCS Tones from the front of the radio as other programming from the front of the radio too. Ready right out of the box & also GREAT SERVICE & FAST SHIPPING. Thank You So Much BetterSafeRadio – I would only buy from you for my gmrs radio needs. 5 Stars From Me!!!! [BSR: Thanks so much for this Craig!]

  2. Shane Barton (verified owner)

    Great GMRS radio:

    Great GMRS radio especially if you use it outside. The screen is easily visible in direct sunlight with my old eyes. Other radios with fancy screens are a real challenge for me to see in bright sun light. Easy to use and easy to program from the keypad also. Matched with any GMRS smiley antenna, this radio will definitely get the job done and do it well.

  3. allenprice (verified owner)

    All are excellent:
    This is my third BSR GMRS radio purchase. One KG-UV9G PRO GMRS & now two KG-916 GMRS Radios; all are excellent.

    So good I bought this second KG-916 GMRS for a friend so he can have the same quality radio with this ease of use.

    I would have no problems buying another if the want or need arises. Simple to use, quality superheterodyne build, TX & RX are excellent and feels and operates like a solid rugged mobile GMRS radio. BetterSafeRadio support is excellent as well. Thank you.

  4. Kirk McCann (verified owner)

    One of my favorites:

    This radio is built solid! Quickly becoming one of my favorites. The audio quality of the speaker is great! I have not had any complaints from anyone who I talk to about how the radio sounds. I really can’t think of anything I would change about this radio. I would buy again.

  5. Mike Parsons (verified owner)

    Excellent in both TX & RX: Initial observations of this radio have been excellent in both TX & RX as well as simplicity of features and great audio quality of the speaker. Easily viewable in bright sun light and optional accessories have proven to be good as well. Please see some of my review videos on YouTube for further.
