BaoFeng UV-S9 Plus: Powerful 8-Watt Dual Band Ham Two Way Radio with Accessories Review

There is no better radio for double the price. Works perfectly. Easy to set up after watching a YouTube video and the battery lasts surprisingly long.

Radio works great for the price. Software programming guide could be better. Instead, I used CHIRP. Overall a good buy.

Great radio for the price I have several of these. This bundle comes with a year's supply, an extra battery, lapel microphone and whip antenna, and chargers.

The listener is not good. And the microphone only works if you hold it very far from your mouth to speak. Or no one can understand what you are saying.

Very lousy radio. Disgusting reception. There is no waiving of intermods. The worst thing is the very low volume. Definitely not a shining star or a good budget radio. Feels very flimsy, if dropped it will break. If I had paid $19.99 I would say it was worth it. Otherwise rubbish!

I ordered this radio to get my feet wet with ham radio. However, when this item arrived at my house, I realized that it was a fake. I've been told to use Twitter to program it and it's not even supported so there's really no way to program unless you really own these types of radios.

I bought this Baofeng UV-S9 before realizing it wasn't even a real registered Baofeng model. So I knew right away I was getting a fake, but I was hoping. The radio arrived with everything listed on the product sheet, but there are some issues. First, the long antenna they offer as an upgrade doesn't work at all as the base is larger than the radio mount it's supposed to fit in, making it impossible to screw it all the way onto the radio. I tried it anyway, and of course it didn't get a signal…
