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. KG-699E. The mic gain and deviation are too low.

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?

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. Fair comment ke2yk , but I think there is a more honest review here -
