The Wouxun KG-UV9p was my first Wousun, and I thought of it as a high-priced Baofeng, after all, it is just another in a sea of obscure Chinese radios, right? As you can tell, I was not going into this review with a very neutral attitude. Did the Wouxun KG-UV9p win my heart?
The Wouxun KG-UV6D V2 is a fairly popular dual-band radio from Wouxun that has been around a while. It shares the same basic layout and looks as the other Wouxun radios released around the same time. In fact, if you ignore the green button on the front labeled RPT, it is really hard to tell the UV6D and UV3D apart from a couple feet away. The question becomes, what is the difference, if any?
As I have mentioned before, I really like the looks of most of the Wouxun radios, and the Wouxun KG-UVD1P is no exception to that. Not all of their radios are the same, however, regardless of how good-looking they are. Let’s take a look at this model and see how it compares to their other radios, and to the competition.
I have always liked the way radios like the Wouxun KG-UV3D look. Something about them just look and feel better to me than a lot of the Baofengs and their clones. But looks aren’t everything.
