Not sure if anyone said it already but the little clear plastic piece with the small white piece of paper slides into the bottom of the radio and allows you to label the radio. That way you can easily see which radio you're using if you have multiple programming.

Money is no object and I only need two units. I have zero experience with radio comms other than the CB radio my dad set up for me back in 1996 when I was 12 years old. I just want to pretty much be able to buy the pair of radio handsets, charge them up and get chatting to my mate in the event we are separated in a precarious situation. I don't want an overly complex unit that requires a good knowledge of programming the channels, just a high wattage unit that's simple to operate - Any pointers???

These radios are dual band: VHF 130-176 MHz and UHF 400-520 MHz. You can program a specific frequency on the radio or up to 128 channels via the radio or PC software. Also, in addition to "Channel mode" and Frequency mode", there is "Name mode" (only selectable via PC software) which displays the channel's alphanumeric id (up to 7 characters) instead of the frequency.

Hi Garry, good video. I’m looking at purchasing this model at the moment and just wanted to know since you’ve had these for about a year now, what your thoughts are and if there’s any setback compared to that of a traditional Uniden, Oricom or GME brand. Also can what the maximum distances are and if there is any benefit of the additional channels (eg. Privacy) etc. I’m a novice to UHF radios and these will be my first however I have decided a hand held is the best option for convenience. Thank you in advance.

Hey Gary. I hope you still reply to your viewers. I just got my UV-9G, brand new. I'm trying to do the same thing as you're doing in the video which is programming it. Unfortunately I tried doing that but they're are already custom frequencies built into the radio such as GMRS and NOAA. I wanted to add a custom frequency for myself and my co-mates. Went into frequency mode, changed the frequency, saved it onto channel mode. When I try to transmit with my custom frequency in channel mode, it doesn't work. It just gives me this loud beep when I press the PTT button. Seems like it's lock? Any way you can help me with this problem? Thanks.

Hi Garry, Thanks for making this video. I'm nearly there with the programming. However, I've been trying to program in the Australian channels to the radio and have run into some issues. I seem to have been able to programme channel 1 to 476.4250 and while still in frequency mode, the radio channels will scroll up using the correct increments ie, the next channel when scrolling upwards will show 476.4500. I have been trying to save into memory the first 10 channels but it does not seem to be working. AND, when I go back to channel mode, channel 1 will show 476.4250 but when I scroll up from there, the next channel frequency it shows for channel 2 is NOT 476.4500. I think it is something basic I am doing wrong or have omitted to do something before programming the channels. Another chap on youtube said to "reset all" before programming the channels...? Also, does one have to put in the numbers for all (80) the channels for Australia or will the radio "autofill" the other channels based on maybe the step frequency you set in the settings? Would really appreciate your help here. Thanks in advance!

On the faceplate it says this is a digital radio. However I had one and it would not accept digital channels on uhf. Is it not a digital radio??

I'd check the stats page in the manual to see if that channel is within its range.

It's mot digital. Alot of Baofeng models are embossed with that but they are definately not digital. Also sellers make up power ratings and battery capacity levels for more sales.

That I can't answer, is Yes. (I own a UV-5R3) I much prefer this radio, its buttons work smoother, and the volume is much louder, plus it feels nice to hold. Perhaps others will chip in, and leave their opinions as well.

Confiando en las buenas críticas compré hace poco una Baofeng UV9R Plus, es una radio no homologada y de relativa calidad pero para segundo equipo de emergencia pues me valía, el caso es que a la semana de tenerla empecé con los problemas, el walkie se apagaba solo, el problema fue emperando hasta llegar que a veces para dejarlo encendido hay que activar cinco o seis veces el botón de encendido, tras unos minutos se apaga solo. Hice pruebas con la batería totalmente cargada y nada. Lo peor viene es que tras contactar con el vendedor, primero me dijo que era problema de la bateria y que la cargara totalmente, siguiendo sus instrucciones el problema persistía, me dijo que le mandara un video y así llego más de un mes, primero que no recibían los videos, luego que no podían abrirlos, continuaron que los mandase comprimidos (una tontería porque un video en mp4 ya está comprimido todo lo posible), y ahí están, que no pueden abrir el video. Después de tantos intentos realmente creo que me están dando largas así que ya me he cansado de de mandarles diferentes videos y en diferentes formatos y solo me queda usar el walkie como pisapapeles o tirarlo directamente a la basura ¿de qué sirve un walkie si en una supuesta urgencia ni siquiera sabes que va a encender? Fue un error comprar este walkie Baofeng y no se lo recomiendo a nadie. Saludos.

Garry Purcell yeah, the reason mainly is because back in 2011-2015 baofeng wasn’t a trademarked and copyright name in America, so other companies made a bunch of the radio marked as “baofengs” this is also why Baofeng changed their name to Pofung in 2014, another company copyrighted the name Baofeng and legally it wasn’t allowed to be used. But Baofeng made a trade and bought the license and now we have the good old Baofeng again. A lot of these radios still linger around though.
