I am using Gooer Remote Desktop Service(http://www.gooer.com) and it is not free. LogMeIn looks good but it seems do not support mobile phone. Anyone know if there exist some free tools that support mobile phone(Java) remote desktop?
Which O/S are you running on your mobile phone? I have an HP IPAQ Rx4240 and have used Log Me In successfully with it.

try the KG-689, it realy is a big improvement, the manual is still very badly translated but the radio is much better, it is still only a single band, but has dual VFO, as for voice promts and the fm radio function i find both useful when using the radio on my motorcycle. overall i think wouxun will go far, anything cheaper realy is just a toy, try a jingtong for a laugh, then use it as a door stop, or some other non radio purpose

Thanks for the comment Jake. I agree with your take on the knock offs!

New website dedicated to bringing ham radio operators the latest news, ebay auction, information about the different major ham equipment manufacturers, some projects and advice. Take a look around and stay awhile. There is lots of stuff there.
While I don’t own the HP (I just bought the HTC XV6800 with Windows Mobile 6) and I’m running PocketDigi as well as MobileLog, both by N0HR. What a great couple pieces of software!
Would be interested to see what other ham software there is for Windows Mobile.
Great site!

Hello Gary,
This is a great article and video on alternative energy. I am a big advocate on solar and wind power. With the current cost of energy it certainly seems that it will be the way to go. Thanks for the great article, enjoyed it, best 73’s, Jeff
I have 2 KG 689`s and have to say the above review is utter tosh.
Having used handies by the major manufacturers, the Wouxun is clearer , simple to use once you get the hang of it, and a high quality item for frankly very little money.
The reviewer displays snobbery when it comes to these cheap chinese radios….ahem…who do you think makes your top dollar equipment?
The ability to listen to two frequencies at once is a boon if you use these radios in connection with sporting events or other circumstances when you need to listen into more than one source.
Put your snobbery to one side.
BTW, they now have CE approved versions of their radios, so, expect big things in future.
Get one now while they are still available for buttons on ebay.

Sir,
I would not refer to it s snobbery, rather constructive criticism or buyer beware! However, to add a bit more to your welcomed response, I did actually purchase a KG669. I did find that It outperformed other ‘brand name” HT’s under certain, every-day circumstances. Again, thank you for your post.

Fair comment ke2yk , but I think there is a more honest review here -
http://reviews.ebay.com/Wouxun-KG-689-amp-KG-679-Plus-VHF-version-with-Scrambler_W0QQugidZ10000000004627601?ssPageName=BUYGD:CAT:-1:SEARCH:4
Whilst I accept and understand your concerns re illegal use of these radios, most purchasers are I suspect amateur radio enthusiasts, or business users .
Given that a I paid aprox 70 dollars delivered for a radio that outperforms 400 dollar equipment, I have to give an honest appraisal and say, it is worth a risk at the prices quoted.
I am aware that the quality of some of the chinese stuff is porr, but, this company seem to be at the top end of the market quality wise , evidenced by their designs on world sales by type approval.
I suspect as word gets out, prices will inevitably rise.

Felt compelled to add my 2 cents concerning the KG-689. I purchased 2 VHF and 2 UHF versions of this unit for use on 2m and 70cm (nice to have 420-430 access) plus MURS (CB for aviation HTs) and GMRS (licensed). Performance on both bands is quite good. Plus the quality of workmanship for the price is excellent. A cloning cable allows you to configure one unit then copy memory to another. And IMO the user’s guide for the 689 is perfectly understandable. BTW, at ebay this item is overpriced. I bought one unit from there (@ $95 total for UHF) then located a better source online at asiaradiosales dot com ($80 for UHF, $77 VHF, including shipping, via PayPal). And I must admit that the motivation for multiple purchases was the suspicion that the price of these things can go nowhere but up. Also saw at the Wouxun dot com site that they have a new (certified) 699E version of the same unit. Other than the inclusion of a 1750Hz tone if you need it, the specs seem similar enough.
Anyway, if used responsibly, I don’t see why these units would be suspect. After all, if you were to build from scratch an xcvr using schematics from an old ARRL Handbook which met current stability specs, would it be suspect to use it?

I also bought my rig at asiaradiosales dot com. I got my rig after 12 days which is not bad. I have seen that they have a new version of the KG689E with 1750Hz and 66-88mhz.
I got my wouxun 689E version and it is one of the best radios i have ever had. I got this radio from asiaradiosales dot com. Thanks for the speedy delivery great rig i would recommend for everyone
good radio

Thank You Tremendously, I have just returned to Radio after 12 years QRT. This article helped me no end as I was considering buying one, Thanks, again, Pete
Ola desculpe o incomodo, seria possivel me mandarem o manual do kg 669 5 w . s/n slreh03-5005
Freq-136,000-174,000 mhz
KG-699E. The mic gain and deviation are too low. Does anybody know if there is a hidden menu to correct this problem? Surprisingly Wouxun have been no help. Otherwise the radio is very good. Programming is much easier with the software provided although it only runs on XP, not Vista.
