Reliable radio

Bought 2 of these and replaced antennas. I had to remove some pre-programmed CTCSS codes, but it doesn't matter what some are complaining about. The device is solid and worth the money. I also have some UV-5g and they are great too. I would buy again. Yes I plan to buy at least 2 more when they go on sale.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Slightly torn

You can expect about a mile in town

So far I've been able to walk up to a mile with trees and houses on the trail and 5 to 10 miles on the freeway depending on the hills and buildings. , I have yet to find a large enough open area to test how far it can transmit. Also, I can't reach the repeater because it's over 80 miles away and there are a lot of trees, buildings, and hills in the way.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Long delivery

The Beofeng UV-9G Radio is a really good GMRS radio.

The Beofeng UV-9G radio is a really good GMRS radio received by Radioddity via Revain. When I received the battery locking clip I didn't want to lock the radio so I emailed Radioddity support and they responded quickly and sent me a new radio battery which fixed the radio clip issue. Great support from Radioddity, thanks to Radioddity and my assistant Nora! Would definitely buy from them again.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • I will add later

The battery latch does not hold the battery.

The battery lock does NOT hold the battery. This essentially renders the radio a total failure, but it wasn't worth sending the $40 radio back, so I brought the heat gun to the retaining clip and then bent it down. I then cleaned the clip surface with a jeweler's file and the battery is now securely in place. There must be a manufacturing defect in the battery. Other reviews I have read about this radio have not mentioned this issue. Battery issues aside, the radio is great, especially for the…

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

I want it to be a good radio

Got mine today (08/23). Read about all the problems people faced. Not sure if I got a new batch, but here's what I got: The battery stays attached once it snaps into place. I have to pull the latch to disengage and rip it off. The # key does not change the transmit power. All channels have Rx/Tx codes set to 67 or D023N. Took me a few minutes for the clunky software but I fixed it. The Nagoya antenna is not suitable. The standard antenna is fine, but it doesn't seem to have the same range as my

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • I really don't like it, everything is fine

Adequate GMRS walkie talkie with one big problem and a bunch of other smaller ones.

The battery does not attach properly right out of the box. So it crashes straight out of the gate. Also, all GMRS channels are pre-programmed to CTCSS 67 by default. So you can't hear anything from other radios you already have until you plug them in. Computer and replace them all and/or program other radios to use CTCSS Tone 67, or discard all other radios and purchase only those. Again, out-of-the-box compatibility with other radios is not possible. It's pretty hard to appreciate the radio's…

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • High price

Amazing - very good quality

I have had several Baofeng UV-5R ham radios that I have used over the years and although they are cheap and not of the best build quality they have worked very well . When I saw Baofeng launching these new waterproof GMRS radios, I decided to try two. Let me just say that these are definitely not just reprogrammed UV-5Rs. They play in a different quality league. In terms of radio quality, I would put it very close to my Yaesu FT-70D amateur radio. They're a good weight and there's more…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write back later
