Why choose the Wouxun KG-UV980P?

• The ultimate "Swiss army knife" for multiple bands: Ideal if you are primarily active on the 2m (144 MHz) and 70cm (430 MHz) bands for local repeaters and PMR, but also seek the flexibility to pick up 6 meters, 10 meters, and local 27 MHz FM channels.
• One compact all-in-one solution: Perfect for limited installation space (such as in a car or a compact shack). With a single mobile radio, you can effortlessly listen and transmit on amateur frequencies, repeaters, and local CB channels on FM.
• Ideal for local 27MHz use in FM: Perfect when you primarily communicate on fixed FM channels — such as channel 19 on the road, a local group, or friends in the region — for which no complex SSB modulation is required.

Important information 

The KG-UV980P transmits on 27 MHz frequencies exclusively in the FM band. FM works well for local 27MHz channels where a lot of FM communication takes place. AM / SSB: Many 27MHz users and international DX stations operate on 11 meters in AM or SSB. You can receive these signals, but you cannot transmit back in AM or SSB on the KG-UV980P. The transceiver has a built-in AM receiver primarily intended for the aviation band around the 118-136MHz frequencies. There is no AM modulator or final stage that can generate an AM signal. 

Note: If you order the export version (unlocked version) of this transceiver, you cannot return it due to the modification.   

For consideration

When to choose a 27MHz transceiver with SSB?

• Specialized in the 11-meter band (27 MHz): The choice if your focus is truly on the 27MHz band. Not only for local communication, but specifically to make distant foreign connections (DX) with stations across Europe or even America during good conditions.
• Indispensable for international DX connections: Foreign radio traffic on 11 meters takes place almost exclusively in USB (Single Sideband), especially around the well-known frequency 27.555 MHz. With an SSB transceiver, you can fully participate.
• Advanced interference filters against QRM: Specific HF filters such as Noise Blanker (NB), Automatic Noise Limiter (ANL), and RF Gain effectively suppress interfering HF noise from LED lighting, solar panels, and mains power.
• 100% legal and license-free: An approved CB transceiver with CE mark may be used by anyone without a license with the legally permitted power.
