Two very important things come to mind when I watch this video. 1. As always, great and entertaining video Randy. 2. Mark the owner of Better Safe Radio is a stand up guy and I hope you all give him your business. Quality products and great service!

I got mine from BSR. Worth the money for the programming. Its cloneable.

Awesome video per usual Randy! One minor correction that I'm sure will make everyone happy... you CAN actually modify the custom display message and custom sub-band message in CHIRP, it's just that those fields are buried a bit. You can find both next to each other near the bottom of the Settings > Configuration > Admin Functions tabs, thanks to Mel the programmer who created this CHIRP UV9PX driver. :)

I tried to unlock my kg-uv9px by changing the upper limit transmit frequencies to 155 and 470 in chirp. It did not unlock those frequencies. Any suggestions?

I want to change my ham call sign to UV5R and wallow in the bathtub with spurious emissions, Mom's meat loaf and a triple roger beep while being corrected by the authoritarian gate keepers. Great Video!!

I have a few uv5-r's just in case. I watched one of your videos and I am hooked. I don't even really care about most radios. But your videos are so good and fun.

If you get the Smiley tri-band antenna, it is adjustable and will work on 2m, 220 and 440 Ham bands as well as the GMRS channels.

Thanks for the tip, was looking for a triband ht antenna!

Some People will be griping about this video all week. Mose People will appreciate the time spent on this video and the info provided. Thanks Randy

I have a ham license but still recommend people have a radio similar to this in the event of an emergency. Keep up the good work Randy!

In case you haven't checked out the latest $15 quansheng UV-K5(8) radio, with the egzumer fimware it will receive between 15mhz up to 1300mhz including USB CB, AM airband, VHF, marine, VHF 220mhz, AM 250-400 mil bands etc, 5.5w with this firmware and even has a spectrum analyzer and usb-c charging port 👍

So during the last week I’ve gone down the ham rabbit hole and out of all the videos I’ve encountered, yours have been the best. There’s always something you say in each one I watch that cracks me up, definitely subscribed

About time we get blessed by your presence.

I have this radio and love it. It’s rugged, and I love all the SHTF channels, and the APO to save the battery so it doesn’t come on accidentally in a pack and drain the battery to zero. Great reception and clear sound.

Thanks! Got mine ordered from them (back ordered but should ship in next two-three weeks). I appreciate the educational content, and the humor.

So good to see you back on the YT! We were going though notarubicon withdrawal!

I came for your comedy show. It was an amazing performance as usual. I even felt more educated than ever on another radio I still cannot pronounce. Thank you.

Always good to have provisions for every shituation! Thanks for continuing to make *great* content and sharing it with us!

This is the video I've been waiting for. Thank you! I appreciate your perspective.

Love Better Safe Radio! Great products and superb service - thank you Mark!

Thank you for throwing up the map of my great state on the screen 👍

Beautiful radio…I’ve wanted one for a while now.

I have the GMRS version of this radio, KG-UV9GX, and absolutely love it!👍

I'm so “happy to hear a man who knows how to deliver a straight forward video”👌 Love your presentation👈👌😊

Thanks for showing how to plug in the charger into the power cord. Very informative!

Randy, always a welcome and expressionless Jedi Master of sarcasm. You’ve gotten me to get my GMRS license and 3 different “Boof-wang” HTs to learn myself up on. Thanks for the endless, relevant and spicy content!

You're killin me! Love the videos and information. Subscribed. I'm still laughing about the policing the arrows on the floor of the grocery store comment. LOL

Thanks for the Texas shoutout in the background. Keep up the good work.

I've owned this HT for about a year. Well worth the coin. Most impressive is the receive sensitivity.

Randy, youre the man! As a new to radio larper ive learned a great amount from you and subsequently spent alot of money on radios i can barely use. Using your links of course. Not as much as i do on firearms, but close!

You always crack me up.

Better safe radio is a solid business. He works with you to get you what you want. Good guy.

Best radio show on YT! Nothing else compares.

Just ordered mine today, can’t wait!

I have the UV9P (no X) and I love it. Definitely unlocked it, that was the first thing I did. Just now diving back into the subject. Got my GMRS license a few weeks ago and I’m taking the HAM technician test in 2 days. Gonna get a signal stick to go on it and take it with me to the Grand Canyon in May.

As a happy ham, I always look forward to Randy’s non-woke brand of American sarcasm. Keep up the great work you do and have a good weekend.

I watch and laugh imagining how mad "some people" can get on you. Very entertaining and informative.

Well done. Not many would review a black object and accessories in front of a dark back drop.

Let’s check in on Not-AI-Rubicon, and see what his feelings are on the KG-UV9PX: “Feelings? My feelings are irrelevant. But let's talk about the Wouxun KG-UV9PX. It's a dual-band handheld radio, and compared to its predecessors, it's got a few new tricks up its sleeve. Things like dark color screen modes for covert operations, a quick-jump feature to your favorite emergency channel, and an extended receive range on the 1.25m band. Plus, it's got a brighter flashlight, stiffer knobs to avoid accidental changes, and it can be reset to a standard HAM configuration with 29 channels. So, in essence, the KG-UV9PX is like the Swiss Army Knife of radios. It's feature-rich and durable, which makes it a good choice for ham operators who want a bit more than just a simple push-to-talk experience. However, remember that with great power comes great responsibility, and also a thicker manual. So what I am really saying is, if you're into HAM radios and need a versatile, rugged device, the KG-UV9PX is a solid choice. But don't come crying to me if you can't figure out all its features; I'm busy enough swinging my Boofwhang UV-5R by its antenna. ..... 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸... ⬇️ 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄....”

Another great video. Thanks Randy. I have a KG-UV9P (not X) and it is an excellent radio.

I'm a ham and bought 2m/70cm HTs for my family members in the area and programmed them with simplex frequencies that ill monitor if SHTF. I told them if they have a need to use this its because something has gone sideways in the world and the last thing they need to worry about is getting busted by the FCC. If they have a need for it, it's an emergency so use it.

Brilliant, Thanks for the great information.

Gracias Randolfo.

thanks,i will now get one,outstanding video

I pealed the protective cover off my new Fluke Multi-Meter yesterday in the presence of my buddy....I heard the music playing, but the dude next to me had no idea what was happening.....it was an inward, intimate moment....and no one was the wiser.

So many easter eggs. Thank you for introducing me to Mr. Poon.

Best show to date!

Being in Georgia. I shop at either WeBee Radios or Mo-Betta Raid-Eo, in the metros Atlanta ghettocide district. There prices are always a steal! 😅

Randy you are a American Treasure!!! Your intro was priceless 😂😂😂

Love your posting

Great video! I have a similar older model of the same radio, and it drains the battery after a few few weeks -- even when not in use. Anyone intending to use this radio for emergencies, please add a piece of plastic between the battery and the body of the radio so the contacts don't touch. It will prevent your battery from being completely drained whenever you want to use it.

@bettersaferadio

5 ай бұрын

Or just store the battery off of the radio, which is a good practice for all radios, as any rechargeable battery could potentially leak or swell or worse (rare, but it can happen), which would not be good for the radio. :)

Liked this video before the 30 second mark.

Thank you!!

Great channel... Thank You

Back in the day when I got my Quansheng Tg-UV 2 I found that the radio could be unlocked to Transmit on any frequency that is receivable including the FM broadcast band.

I love your “license”

Nice receiver - sweet!

You have me rolling man!!🤣 im gonna go by a ham radio just to push the button 😳

Most excellent radio, just remember to backup the out of the box configuration right away, because a factory reset will undo all Mark's GREAT programming. And the KG-UV980P makes an excellent mobile companion radio for this one. Jest say'in

Randy, have you patented that technique for making the display work better in bright sunlight? Genius!!!

OMG! You did blink! I had to rewind and play at quarter speed to see it! That probably means we’re seeing the real Randy and not the AI this time. I’m another happy ham and giddy gmrs user, keep on keeping on!

Ofc uploaded when my kg935g+ (not a sexuality) came in. I already like this thing way more than my first gmrs radio. I already have a ft60 to tinker on ham bands (a boofwang too ofc), but I may have to snag one of these 👀 later on.

you really enjoy this....

First off, I love the T shirt! It is the kind an engineer loves! I wanted to talk about another class of users. I volunteer at two railroad museums. We use radios to ensure safety and to facilitate control. While our organizations are licensed, our individual users are typically not ham operators. They follow the rules of the organization. One group, on VHF in the railroad frequencies, has rules that are quite compliant. The dispatcher controls communications and ever communication is ended by the dispatcher using our call sign. The other group, on a UHF business frequency, is like the Wild West! Our users like to own their own radios to control accessories and battery life. And we don’t wish to spend $50 to have someone program 2 frequencies for us. So these “non-ham” radios with decent quality audio are important to us. Sure, a Buofeng cheapo has an interesting value proposition but we are willing to invest in better quality. Keep up the good reviews. And yes, we are working to tighten up the Wild West radio useage though they are not all that bad and there is not any useless chatter on the air.

I'm confused, isn't gmrs freqs in the UHF and would thus be fine using the dual band antenna? Sorry for the dumb question but I'm a recovering sad ham and thus now leaning more about gmrs.

@bettersaferadio

The stock antenna on the PX is tuned for the Ham bands, so while it is widely tuned and can be used on GMRS, it's not optimal. You would be better off getting a GMRS-tunes antenna, like the Smiley 5/8 Slim Duck or SuperStick mentioned in the video (at BSR), for the best fars on GMRS, for emergency use only, of course.

Always enjoy your stuff, buddy!

I have my gmrs license and 3 "legal" gmrs radios, however I started buying only unlockable radios since in an emergency I want as many options as possible.

Randy, you are a 'national Treasure'. We love you, keep up the awesome work. regards from Blighty! 🇬🇧
