  1. Nice, looks like im going to be ordering one of these afterall, although i am disappointed by the antenna being different because all of mine are the style of the older KGUVD1P, which is also the same used by motorola, so guess that means that no antennas that i own will fit this. Im also disappointed about the battery being different, especially since MTC started selling one that is over 3000 MAH for the KGUVD1P. Im sold though with the crossband repeat, real dual recieve, all the memory channels and the new screen. Now i just need to determine whether i order one now and hope there are no bugs, or give it a few months so they can work out the kinks.

  2. Really hoping there's a way to leave the display on without the backlight. I understand wanting to save battery, but making the radio look the same while in receive standby as it does when it's off would be frustrating.

  3. I was wanting to buy one but the bad news is when the backlight goes off you cant see anything, it's like turning the radio off, you got a blank dark display, if you want to see what frequency your'e on you need to grab it and press a key to light up the display , Wouxun needs to change it. If they come out with an updated one that shows display all the time I'll get one . I own 8 of the Chinese HT's including 2 Wouxuns, and they all keep the display on when the light goes off.. This is a deal breaker for me, I like to see what frequency i am on even without the backlight being on. Bummer....I'll have to keep my Puxing's they have cross band repeat and full duplexing also....

  4. An on radio that looks the same as an off radio will result in a radio getting accidentally left on at night, which will result in an unhappy wife, which will result in an unhappy me. It's a deal breaker for me too.
