So....
Wouxun sent me a free brand-new unlocked KG-UV8D (Still in the shipping process for the USA) for me to test and try out. Get your first looks today!

Radio is definitely nice! Follow-up video soon, and I do know the zoom was a little too far in! Sorry :(
Hope it does better with intermod than the UV-5R.

Well,
Anyone can modify the range of this, which I get very scared of it getting into the wrong hands.
The receiver is much better than any other Wouxun or baofeng, and the S-meter actually works, its not like some of the others, Full signal or nothing.

I have a UV-5R and thus far I am very satisfied with it. But yeah, it is prone to Intermod. Fortunately that is not a big problem where I live except for a few frequencies but in Manhattan it might be rough. Then again, my old Yaesu FT-470 used to get clobbered with intermod.

I don't expect intermod to be an issue with this, but I guess time will tell ;)
