Wouxun KG-UV9D

Hey Guys.

Im looking at hopefully getting my foundation licence in the new year. I failed at my last attempt a few years ago and gave up the ghost. But decided to try again so bought myself the wee KGUV9D pro pack from ML&S, question is how do i copy all the frequencies i have saved on my KGUV8D to the KGUV9D without having to do it all one by one?

If both are supported by CHIRP, its easy enough. Read the old radio, save the channels to a CSV, read the new radio, clear the channels (if any) and then import the CSV and then upload to radio.

It's currently only the KG-UV8D that's supported. The UV9 isn't even in their roadmap as far as I can see.
I used to own the UV8D then switched to the UV9D and I could not export/import the memories, even using the official UV8/9 software. Both files are *.kg format but they throw up a file format error when you try to load them.

The only software package I know of that will read and write CSV files apart from Chirp is the RT Systems series of programming software but you need to use their own lead and it is a bit on the expensive side.

I would ask ML&S if they can help. They are the UK distributor.

Glad you sorted it, even if you had to resort to manually punching it all in! Good luck with the foundation
