BAOFENG UV-9R Pro 8W Ham Radio - Long Range Handheld Dual Band Two-Way Radio, Waterproof Walkie Talkie with Tri-Power & USB-C Charging - Ideal for Camping, Hunting, Emergency Survival & Outdoor Adventures

Not sure why folks want to spend $39 and then are angry when the $39 radio isn't as good as a $300 Yaesu or Icom.That said, the UV-9R Pro is a fairly good all use radio. It is a UV-5R under the hood and that means no learning curve for Baofeng users. I have the long whip and speaker mike installed and as a package I like it very much. Send/receive is excellent, audio from mike and radio is very acceptable...no issues. IP67 rating test will have to wait for a test as I just cannot bring myself to dunk any radio into a creek.Have had it with me for a month in Western North Carolina after Helene for monitoring relief efforts. This radio is performing as well as my Yaesu VX5 ever did in austere conditions. It's been knocked around some, but I haven't done the drop test either.I really like this radio. No, it's not a $300+ Yaesu or Icom, but for $39 it's a solid, disposable radio that works real well inreal world scenarios. Battery life is very good and I charge this using 100% solar.Great value, great performance, programs the same as UV-5 series radios so short learning curve. Feels heavy/sturdy. In short, a great piece of kit.
