Selecting a Channel
When you power on your KG-1000G for the rst time, the display will likely show
“GMRS-01” on the left side. GMRS-01 is the name of the currently selected chan-
nel. Turn the Frequency / Channel Knob on the right side of the display to navigate
through the list of channels.
As a licensed GMRS user you are allowed to use any of the channels. Which channel
you choose isn’t as important as being sure that everyone in your group is on the same
channel, so be sure you select a channel that everyone in your group’s equipment sup-

particularly concerning output power. GMRS channels can be broken up into 4 groups,
with the following dierences:
▪ Transmitting on channels 1-7 is limited to 5 watts of output power.
