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???

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!

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.

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.

Use the Menu Button and goto item 14 Once selected you will see "VOICE / CHI" To change to ENG (Press Menu again, and you will see the small Dot icon on the screen, move from VOICE to CHI) Now select English using the up down arrows. Then Save.

Looks like the same front end as the UV-82. Why does this radio say Digital Mobile Radio on the top?
@GarryPurcell4 жыл бұрын
Because the manufacturer wanted to add some text, or perhaps their telling you what it is? Can anyone answer this question. (I can't)
@garychap83844 жыл бұрын
"Digital Mobile Radio" ... because... well... it has the digits 0 to 9 on it ; )))) Look, it's a cheap Chinese radio... nothing means anything. The 18w version barely puts out 6w, the 15w version also barely puts out 6w ... neither are digital unless you count the display _(and nobody sane does)._ You could go crazy trying to make sense of this stuff ... best thing is, don't worry about it ; )

Just ordered the Motorola version of this radio. The GP-9R Plus looks exactly the same with the IP67 etc. However made in Malaysia rather than China. And they claim a 18w output ?? I very much doubt that .That said I have seen a KZbin upload showing a 8w output which is more than enough for me. Thanks for the upload..

There are heaps of different versions on Ebay, Some state 5W other state 18W(Don't know the legal limit?). How do you understand the `Real` Watt out put of them? And how long the battery do last? Great Video,will order one for the bush! Thanks
@GarryPurcell4 жыл бұрын
All you can do is hope they state the correct Watt in the manual. Mine is the 10w version, it came from Banggood, I have a link in the video description. I'm not sure of output power W in Australia, even after reading the government posting. QUOTE: www.acma.gov.au/search/node?keys=uhf+power Citizen band radio stations class licence … Licence 2015 Radiocommunications Act 1992 Power output Your equipment cannot exceed the maximum … HF - 26.965 MHz to 27.405 MHz (inclusive) UHF - 476.4125 to 477.4125 MHz (inclusive) You can only use telemetry and telecommand on UHF channels 22 and 23. You cannot speak on these channels. … With regards battery life, that will depend on usage. Think of a mobile phone, if you don't use it, the battery lasts a day or so easily, but if you talk a lot, you will need to charge it daily.

There is a way to test the wattage and the Battery . For the battery all you need is a Multimeter , they are cheap . The wattage can be tested by another meter , i forget what its called , but HamRadioConcepts has one on his channel . I dont think they cost much , maybe $20 bucks
