One radio to find the people out there
The CS7000 M17 PLUS scans 400 - 512 MHz and programs itself to match every signal it hears.
Works entirely without infrastructure, Internet, or fees
Pure radio-to-radio. No cell towers, no servers, no subscriptions.
Program the rest from what it finds
Then hand it to your family - KG-UV96GX handheld: GMRS out of the box. It also receives 136 - 174 MHz, 400 - 480 MHz, FM broadcast, Air Band, and NOAA weather alerts.
That's the CS7000 M17 PLUS at its discounted $299 price and the KG-UV96GX for $50 - a radio that sells elsewhere for $129.99 and list at $149.99

When the grid goes down, you stay a family
The CS7000 M17 PLUS is the finder: it scans 400–512 MHz and programs itself to match every signal it hears, so you know who's out there. Program the KG-UV96GX from what it finds, hand it to your family, and you can reach each other no matter what is happening around you. No infrastructure, nothing to subscribe to.
Everything the CS7000 M17 PLUS does on its own
256-BIT AES ENCRYPTION
The same standard trusted by the U.S. military and major financial institutions, plus lighter modes for everyday use.
(Encryption is prohibited on the amateur bands; legal everywhere else.)
GPS LOCATION
Read your exact coordinates to a family member, navigate straight to coordinates you're given, or get guided back to a saved spot.
ENHANCED SCANNING
Sweep between any two frequencies; the radio captures every conversation it hears. Two button presses save the whole batch.
GPS ROAMING
Contains an onboard database of every known amateur repeater in the world. Power on and the 64 closest repeaters are located instantly and programmed into your radio.
CHANNEL ANALYZER
Park on a busy channel and the radio records every distinct user and it then programs itself to reach each of them.
ENHANCED MONITOR
While someone is still talking, the radio analyzes the signal and builds matching channels on the fly. You can now speak to the person that was just talking.
ENHANCED EDIT
Create or edit any channel from the keypad. No computer, no cable, no software.
What Our Clients Say
"I have owed this radio for a good handful of year's now and it has yet to dail me. I used it at work during the day and at night I use it with my hotspot on the ham frequencies. Both analog and digital work phenomenally. Enjoy your CS750!"
"Excellent experience with this seller. Product is top notch. Very pleased with purchase."
