Review on πŸ“» TIDRADIO UV-9R Plus: Waterproof 2 Way Handheld Ham Radio with Full House Kits - 1 Pack by Troy Robinson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable? Modest costs? No amateur radio.

We paid $50 each for two UHF/VHF radios. There is a specific range of frequencies that HAM radio uses, this radio does NOT operate on amateur frequencies. Only works in UHF or VHF band. Also, the printed manual says it's an IP57 radio, not IP67. When we asked the seller said IP67 - should they be trusted? Also, it doesn't hit 5W/3W output, but rather 1.5W at max setting, which is fine for my use case. Since these radios are built on the Beofeng UV-9R platform, we will keep them as a backup. This is a product you get what you pay for - pay more to get more.
