Wouxun KG-Q10G GMRS - Wouxun's New GMRS Hand Held GMRS Radio With GPS and CB Radio Channels

- **Update: There have been several reports of people damaging their KG-Q10G radio while attempting to remove the antenna. While the antenna on MY Q10G radios did come off fairly easily, the antennas are not intended to be removable and using too much force to remove the antenna WILL result in a broken radio.
You can get a Wouxun KG-Q10G here: www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxu...
In this video I review the Wouxun KG-Q10G GMRS handheld HT radio. The new Q10G GMRS walkie talkie features built-in GPS, USB-C battery charging, and unlike any other GMRS radio on the market, the KG-Q10G is able to receive all 40 CB radio channels. As of the making of this video, no other GMRS radio on the market is able to receive CB Radio channels.

The wood splinters hanging off the end of the pencil at a 45 degree angle really set this content producer at the head of the pack. There should be and Academy Award of some sort for this man.

CB Radio
The original social media platform ❤️
For sure. Listening to my father talk to Australia in the evening skip was great in the 80s to 90s.
This FLAT OUT has the widest receive range of any two-way walkie talkie that I know of. Going from the top of the SW band (CB) plus Broadcast FM and NOAA to almost 1Ghz is freaking amazing! There are dedicated scanners that do much less! That it's also a Superhet GMRS radio with GPS make this thing a hell of a deal. When my tax refund comes, I'm grabbing a pair!
Just get a uv-k5 and mod it, mine does ssb, am, fm and with a discone its pretty good.
What...? HOW THE F DO YOU MOD IT TO INCLUDES SSB??
Is this radio water resistant or shock resistant curious minds would like to know
@@ScorpioSin777IP67 ONE METER FOR 30 MINUTES I think
Amazing radio. Wish transmitting in CB was an option, but I guess we can't have everything.
Yes, that and a 10 watt power option on GMRS would be GREAT ! ...Alan 🇨🇱
It still has quite a lot of frequencies.
@@indridcold8433 it's possible to be the best GMRS radio on the market, while still not being perfect.
Like other Chinese radios...matter of time till it's unlocked. I know of one mobile wouxun ham that you can unlock for CB and gmrs. And one of the ht ham radio that u can unlock for gmrs.
Can you give us the list of other Wouxun GMRS radios that have been unlocked?
We'll just wait....
Randy reviews these radios so much that I expect one day the that the woman's voice on the Wouxun radios will be replaced with his.
I just received mine today,I programmed a couple of repeater channels and talked on a net tonight, I believe this will be my favorite radio.
Whew!! That sticker removal was INTENSE!🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲
I think there should be a nurse standing by for that activity. Someone might have a stroke. or ten.
Long live Randy! 🎉
"It does not work,
if you don't read it"😂
Thanks! I learn a great deal from your videos and very much enjoy the sarcastic and humorous presentation. Keep up the great work!
Thank YOU!
Love the review, ordered the KG-Q10G, and kudos on the Sig Sauer mat!
This is the best ham radio review I seen in a while. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! But, please go easy on the insults - this is not a ham radio.
Great DEMO, THANKS ! Nice radio, I'll have to wait 'til WOUXUN decides to put out a 10+ watt radio. I use mine mainly in the trails and with the woodsy/ hilly terrain... the extra power watts help tremendously. I do like the seperhetorodine quality. Thanks Alan in 🇨🇱
The slums below.So funny.These videos are brilliant.Very informative with great humour too.Keep up the good work.
I'm glad you laid down your TekMat to protect your Tekmat. There's a reason other radio reviewers can't get it right.
When I comes to trolling, you’re right up there with President Trump😂.
Always enjoy your videos, Thanks
Congrats on the 23 years on the CZcamss LOL.
Almost got the 935G+ but wanted superheterodyne, IP67, and the USB-C port on the radio (not the battery). This might be something I can buy once, cry once and stop delaying my first purchase. Kind of wish Yaesu, ICOM, and Kenwood would get into the high end GMRS radio market, but this is the perfect price point for high quality. These Wouxuns are WAY better than Midland, Cobra, Uniden, Motorola big box store units.

Just got mine. Beautiful radio!
Another great radio...thanks Randy.
This guy is SO funny! I LOVE the chewed up pencil, and using the steak knife on a flat head, totally tongue in cheek! And the screen protector removal, the "deflowering" as it were, was done ever so slowly and gently...😂 And he seemed slightly exhausted...too funny!
I'm literally crying when he picked up the broken pencil over the sharp one.
@@alexkramit’s his trademark. You should see the apps on his phone! 😜
@@alexkram That pencil has been featured for a long time on many of his videos - I can only imagine how a persnickety anal-retentive cringes at the sight of that pencil!
Damn you Randy! Just when I thought I had enough radios! Had to order! XENU help me when my wife’s sees! Your paying for my couples counseling…. I know it’s coming to that!
You sold me on a new KG-Q10G! I love it. Dare I say I like it more than my Boofwang.
Damn, I just got a pair of the Baofeng BF-F8HP's...
The addition of CB would be perfect. Damn!
Love the shirt, Randy
I also just got a BF-F8HP. I would like to be able to transmit CB not just receive CB tho. For the price difference, I would rather buy another BF-F8HP and have HAM frequencies as well as FRS/GMRS frequencies.
Randy, I just received my Q10G yesterday (June 11) and my antenna was Not glued down. I was able to remove it with no problem at all and install a Nagoya quite easily. And yes, I did use your affiliate link .............. "below".
Randy!!! The broken pencil pointer is the best🔥🔥🔥
Now someone needs to figure out how to jailbreak it.
Can this be unlocked or jailbroken?
Hey, I enjoy all your videos.
I really like the wall art over your shoulder at the beginning of your videos.
Great job changing the TEKMAT!
I have a P220 from the early 80s and It is still my favorite to fire.
I love your super dry sarcasm!
I collect radios also but mostly shortwave and older Zenith tube radios.
You are one Salty Berserker! Stay Ultra Maga!
Nice Radio might just have to get one Thanks Randy
I’ve been a ham operator for 20+ years. You’re welcome. I’d like to get one of these so I can get on CB again. It’s awesome that they make a radio that will do both!
😂
Well, good thing I am personally your favorite viewer, because it seems subscribing to you has paid off Randy. Or has it? You either saved me from a bad purchase, or enticed me to make a bad purchase lol. Time will tell.
I just ordered this KG-Q10G. I was about to pull the trigger on a KG-UV9GX while it was on sale. Now it makes sense to me why it's on sale. :)
I was taking some time to compare the UV9GX and the BTECH GMRS-PRO. While not very useful yet because I don't think I know anyone else with either of these models, the GPS is compelling (plus I can still use it to get my location). The KG-Q10G seems to be a a beefed up UV9GX which covers most of the Rx frequencies that the UV9GX covers, which I find some value in, with GPS and USB-C added. In my opinion - I'll pay an extra $25 for the USB-C alone. GPS is gravy.
Randy forgot to list the affiliate link for that black handled, dual riveted, Chinesium serrated blade screwdriver. I understand that you can also use it to turn a pencil into the most efficient analog trolling pointer ever, with the guaranteed reaction of raising a sad ham’s blood pressure. Blood pressure so high that the sad ham’s BP can be measured from many fars away, merely by aiming the Farsometer 2000 dummy load connection port towards his listed FCC mailing location. 😅
😂
Anything black handled, I would not question Randy about. 😁
Now I gotta buy this to this is insane
I got all excited when I saw that sharpened pencil ✏️ but my mouth watered when I saw that p365 mat 🤤
P365, good choice sir! Also this radio is pretty neat!
Okay Sandy. I used your affiliate link I found below!
I see the Q10G is waterproof and that is awesome. I have a UV9GX and I wish it were waterproof of course it can take the rain which is fine for my use. I might have to pick one of these up though. Right now I only have one GMRS HT and one HAM HT but I want to get a nother GMRS for my wife.
Good review as always.
I love that it is superhet but the GPS with Bluetooth pairing seems more functional on the BTech GMRS Pro.
I have two of these that are fully unlocked and I love them.
Very nice, but for $200+ i stick with my pair of personally programmed BOOFwang UV-9R PRO radios that I bought for $115 including 3 different antennas for each radio, a programming cable and a microphone (1 radio). I get FM listening and think I have more flexibility for those SHTF moments. Would love to compare send and receive signal and sound of the UV-5R with this super-heterodyne radio. Maybe someday I can upgrade.
Thank you!!
I'm holding off for the Tim Taylor Series Binford 9000 Super Duper which has 9,999,999 channels and turbo PTT which allows it to do Mega Fars. 😁
“I don’t think so Tim” lol
I really like the BTECH GMRS-PRO IP67 Submersible Radio !!!
the chewed up pencil pointer is way too funny !!! lmao🤣
Just bought one and currently rigging an antenna set up
damnit randy!!! the protective screen covering peel off 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
most entertaining man on youtube.
Great radio but my GMRS repeater owner helped me unlock my KG-Q10H radio. I love BTWR but my 935G+ is still my favorite
unlock instructions please
You must share the unlock procedure
Nice, one radio for them all , gmrs & a scanning receiver .......little pricey though......
For the capability the price seems OK to me.
Wouxun products are top notch compared to the others. The receiver is so much better! That’s where the $$ comes in. You definitely get what you pay for. 👍🏻
You need to get one of these companies to make a “Not A Rubicon” Signature Model 😎👍
Thanks
Loved your Tee shirt 😁
Would really like to see the GPS sharing to see how it compares to the GMRS-PRO I just got.
Great video! I have the KG 935G+. It's a great radio that receives very well and transmits great with excellent audio quality. Wouxun certainly makes some great radios! I have to say I do really like some of the added features. I might just have to get one. I might wait a little bit though and see if they come out with a plus model. I do have one question for you, how are the knobs on the top of the radio? With the KG 935G I went with the plus model due to the stiffer knobs.
So this is not the same as the wouxan quad band HT?
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
Looks like you have a bit more lead in your pencil today. Sharp and to the point.
Great shirt, my mom says to tell you hello
The shirt is great
Looks great, why are these new radios stopping at 480Mhz? It would be great if they went up to 520Mhz to Rx many common public safety bands.
I'm excited to see my favorite CZcams and GMRS **SUPERSTAR** finally get a usable pencil
Carry on, Sir!
Chirp driver already in development.
Wow! It makes toast too!
You're a funny dude... definitely find myself laughing at the screen protector peel offs .. lol
I havethe cousin the KGQ 10 H. It’s the ham version of this radio because I’m a real man. It’s a great radio and the menu options are really easy short press for all the stuff you use regularly like squelch tones, etc. long press for radio system functions like the backlight talk out timer etc. Definitely a great radio I might just pick this one up because it has, the CB channels for scanning.
"Real (Ham Radio) Men" don't troll the most popular GMRS CZcams Channel haha
If you have to say you are a "real man" there is a high likelihood you are not that spec'ed out.
CB !!!!! IM SOLD sincerly. i can put the other radios away now
Did it come with 2 antennas?
I have the KG-Q332 which is basically the ham version of this radio.
Same specs without the gps.
Amazing little unit, love being able to pickup the air band without having to resort to the scanner.
Oh and the short menu press items are those which generally change settings for that particular section or channel (think upper and lower half)
Whereas the long press menu is where you will find settings that will affect the entire radio (roger beep for instance)
Sweet!
No one, and I mean NO ONE shitposts like NotaRubicon shitposts and I am here to witness it all as his favorite viewer.
Got to ask for a beginner looking for as much as I can get for the money and not regret when the bigger better comes out the following year where should I start?
BTW love your sense of humor and honesty.
All the Ham guys around me will not give me any direction period, they all give me a run around! I need an all in one for Church security and home monitoring
For license free security, or other communications use inside or around structures, the retevis RT10 is a decent option. 902-928 mhz band, no license required in digital mode. For monitoring at home a scanner is the best way to go. There's not anything happening on ham or GMRS that's worth monitoring. CB isn't worth monitoring. Airband isn't worth monitoring. Those are decent hobby functions but there's nothing being said that's important to anyone who's not in the conversation. Most public safety is P25 so these radios won't pick it up anyway, and for analog stuff these radios scan like snails compared to a scanner so even an analog scanner blows them away. If you're planning on using the radio to really communicate with, and plan to get a license or use them well outside of populated areas then that's another story, but as it is they're basically as useful as an FRS walkie talkie if you don't get licensed because you can't use repeaters without someone policing you about it and ratting you out.
Gonna wait for CHIRP compatibility, CHIRP has previously been able to “unlock” some of my GMRS-only radios to be able to transmit on *all* memory channels, regardless of band, and I like a multi-functional radio for “emergency purposes.” Manufacturer software almost always keeps the “rules” baked in, limiting my options when the government and society as a whole inevitably collapses.
Great review again, Randy - I am a bit disappointed that the charging port isn’t on the battery itself, though. Oh well, if they made it perfect, what would they do for an encore?
Nice
I'm not suggesting anyone else try removing the antenna, I've owned my kgq10g for a year, and if it got damaged, I still have a couple of other Wouxuns,I'm happy I can now use mine with mobile and base antennas.
I know it's wrong in many ways, but I find it pleasurable to watch you pull the protective cover off the screen.
Love the steak knife!!
I assume the GPS functionality is similarly APRS-like to the btech gmrs pro. Exciting to see manufacturers utilize this niche the FCC added for garmin. Hope it becomes a bit more open though. I wonder if its against the rules to transmit the data via repeater.
It is against the rules to transmit the GPS data through a repeater and the radio wont do it.
I'm mostly curious if its GPS and texting features are functionally compatible with the GMRS-PRO, or proprietary to Wouxon.
Oh sure, just after i bought the GMRS Baofeng UV5R that you tested..
I'm a sad ham now...
Looks like a great radio but it’s a little heavy on the price. By the time you add a second battery, it’s well into the mid 200’s. Maybe a Black Friday special?
Now that FM is taking over US CB radio it might be possible soon to use those as well with a handheld like this.
It not just a matter of the mode, it’s the large difference in frequency; 27MHz for CB and 462 - 467MHz for GMRS. Then, there’s the matter of the antenna.
This is the Swiss Army Knife of transceivers, with a small modification done with software. One of these radios replaces 10 walkie talkies! By the way, I have 10 walkie talkies for sale.
You Rock Bro!! Keep The Videos Coming!! Heck Yeah Man!!
USB C for the win
Before y'all get too excited about CB, it's receive only remember.
Without transmit on CB, I am unable to practice my Spanish. Although having GMRS was fun for a few minutes, I noticed that nobody else used it in the area either. It's almost as lonely as 6 meter band. Looks like a nice radio for what it's meant to be. A multiple choice test can get you a lot of additional options. Your choice.
I dont need to take a test to have more options.
That's true. There are a lot of lubricants in the CVS. Be well. Wherever your (very smooth) hands or feet may roam. May you peel many screen covers. Preferably in your own tent, away from the other campers, and small furry mammals.😉 "Breaker one nine?"

You know...
I now believe that no review is complete without a "chick digging it" functional test.
🤓
Thanks for the solid review. Is the antenna fixed? I saw you unscrew it off, but was it glued? What connector does it use? Is the factory antenna sufficient or an upgrade better? Trying to understand the situation and don’t see a good breakdown of the antenna. Thanks!
The antenna is "fixed" with a small drop of glue, it uses an SMA female connector and i was able to talk to a repeater 70 miles away with it.
Thought it looked SMA female on the vid, but wanted to verify. Thanks for the quick reply and details. Looks like I’ll be picking one up at the…affiliate link below. 👇🏼
My SMA connector came right out of the radio still attached to the antenna, thought for sure i broke it but appears to work normally. Maybe they upgraded the glue @@TheNotaRubicon
Does the manual explain how to get a date?
Is that a new tech mat? Man, a concealable hand gun mat oughta get "some people" stressed.😂
Randy, please stop with the Sig P365 mat. I want one but the state of California says they are too dangerous for a mere civilian and it makes me sad. Feelings!
It's on the roster now! :)
Hi Randy, thanks for another great review. This seems like a fantastic radio. Here's my question. If I unlock this radio, will it have the ability to receive P25 public safety radio?
No.
How does this compare to the UV9G? I use these in loud environments often and I want something louder than the UV9G
How good is CB reception going to be with the stock antenna? Pretty bad I imagine.
As with any wide banded HT
Was the choice of table top decoration a coincidence, or a call out to the fact that the Sig P365 stealthily (ish) was added to the California roster in the last day or so?
This looks like the radio for me
Would be worth it if you could transmit in CB channels .
Looks nice Randy! Does transmitting the GPS position work through a repeater or just in simplex mode?
Position data transmission is only permitted on simplex.
@@TheNotaRubicon Thanks
Not real time gps data. It operates on a much different frequency. You can, of course, transmit the position at time of transmission, just not a continuous update. Basically, you can just send the data itself.
Don't know what my favorite is, the broken #2 or the steak knife.
How dare you taunt us with a freshly sharpened pencil next to our trusty old guy...
I’m guessing you like this radio more than the BTech GMRS Pro? I’ve been watching a lot and trying to figure out which GMRS to buy. I’m newly licensed.
I’m in the same place as you being new and deciding on what to buy. The biggest benefit of this radio over the BTech is the Superheterodyne receiver.
can I get the radio in Marisa Tomei voice?
The Chinese love it when we purchase their GPS-capable transceivers. When the SHTF, these radios will make it easy for them to find us.
Many people using these radios are not the least bit concerned with that and probably look forward to the target practice.
