Hi!
I don't have a KG file to share, but those should not be shared between radios anyway. Those files are not like the config files used in the "normal" ham radios like you get from Icom, Kenwood, and Yaesu. But I can offer some suggestions and advice...
The KG-UV8D is not capable of working SO-50 full-duplex. When you transmit on 2m, the 70cm receiver is desensed. You won't hear the satellite again until you stop transmitting. The radio is capable of working AO-85 full-duplex. I wrote about this on the AMSAT-BB list a year ago, and you can see that message at:

I do not use memory channels for working AO-85. I use the two VFOs, open the squelch all the way for the receive VFO, and transmit from the other VFO. That link has some key settings I used with that radio.
You can program a group of memory channels to work SO-50 half- duplex. A guide for that is available from AMSAT's Station and Operating Hints page at:
http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=2144
(look for the document "Operating FM Satellites")
Or use another HT with your KG-UV8D, so you can transmit from one radio while listening to the other radio for full-duplex operation.
If you want to use an HT to work both AO-85 and SO-50 full-duplex, there is only one option currently in production: Kenwood TH-D72A. The new TH-D74A is not capable of full-duplex operation for any FM satellite. Wouxun's KG-UV9D, like the KG-UV8D, is capable of working AO-85 full-duplex, but not SO-50. Along with the KG-UV8D, I wrote about a few other Chinese-made HTs and tried using them to work FM satellites full-duplex. They could do that with AO-85, but not SO-50. You can get to the messages covering the other radios I wrote about at:

Anybody use this handheld for AO85 or SO50? I Have read the instruction manual - as it is - a few times and STILL am scratching my head. I want to set it up to work these two birds - full-duplex - and still work some local repeaters. That should be do-able right??? If you have an APP you have done and it does something like this can you email it to me please ( .KG file) !!!! Thanks !!
