In addition to all of the great features found in the original KG-UV8D radio (including an amazing 999 memory channels), the newer KG-UV8D+ (V2) model adds many new features, including:

• Compandered Audio Function (similar to an FM Speech Processor)
• Cross-Band Repeat Function (with two different cross-band settings)
• Power-On Radio Message can now be edited (if required by end-user)
• Larger 2600 mAh Extended Battery (replaces the smaller 1700 mAh Standard Battery) --_---NOTE: Not all KG-UV8D+ radios ship with the true 2600 mAh extended battery!
• Audio Inversion Scrambler Circuit (for additional OPSEC privacy) - not legal on U.S. ham bands
• Non-Standard CTCSS/DCS Codes can be chosen by the user (meaning additional OPSEC privacy)
• LCD Screen Backlight Intensity can now be adjusted (for additional night-time security settings, better daylight visability, or just to increase battery life)
