Description of 📞 Baofeng UV-9R Plus Black: Superior Walkie Talkie with Extended Range and Enhanced Features
The Baofeng UV-9R Plus (8W) IP67 radio station is a portable radio set for hunting, fishing, tourism, security guards and drivers. Does not require registration with Roskomnadzor. Included: antenna, headset, charger, strap, clip.
This professional communication device operates on VHF 136-174MHz and UHF 400-520MHz dual bands, making it easy to pair with most other radios on the market. It can receive a signal simultaneously on two frequencies.
Number of channels: 128, configurable with program cable. The walkie-talkie can be reflashed on its own in order to communicate on its own frequencies, using it instead of a phone. Support for CTCSS/DCS encoding protects conversations within the group from strangers.
The power of 8 W allows you to negotiate for 5 km in a dense forest and for 10-12 km in open areas. With the help of a powerful additional antenna, you can increase the communication range up to 40%. A high-quality speaker, as well as a noise reduction function, ensure good speech intelligibility even at long distances. For convenience, you can connect the PTT.
The 1800 mAh battery allows you to work offline for 1-2 days. If desired, it can be replaced with a 3800 mAh battery. You can also take a portable charger to charge the battery on the go. There is a charge indicator and a power saving mode.
Thanks to its good IP67 water resistance, the Baofeng radio is suitable for forest and river trips. The model is resistant to water and dirt, will not fail in the rain.
The weight of the device is only 250 g, it fits comfortably in a bag or pouch, and lies pleasantly in the hand. The radio can be inexpensively equipped with a set of accessories: headphones, headset, microphone, holder or other mount.
Pros
- Disgusting walkie-talkie, bought in a disgusting Somebox store (although who would have thought, the reviews seemed to be normal).
Cons
- They told me not to buy Baofeng - they did not listen. I'm sorry. It turned out to be defective, but in such a format that it receives a signal near it, but at a distance of 500m already in an ordinary forest - no. When everyone around everything works even on weaker models. I found this out 4 months after the acquisition, because. there was no need before. And here is the surprise.
Pros
- + True water resistance, but. see cons + Fairly good quality and range + Sufficiently large battery capacity + Wide frequency range: you can get away from the clogged standard bands. But it can be used with walkie-talkies of other sets. + Separately, about the clip - a handy thing: it is held firmly on the belt, the walkie-talkie can be removed with a slight tilt from the belt, and then easily returned to its place. + Headset: sealed, sits comfortably on the ear (but it can be customized here)
Cons
- - Water-resistant with one But: one walkie-talkie was flooded, after which the PTT was not pressed out of it. Dried up. The device is intact and works fine. - Most likely there will be no communication for 10 declared kilometers. The tested maximum was about 3.5 km in forest conditions + a few steel buildings, the connection was, but was already dying. - Assembly is quite flimsy. At one walkie-talkie, the thread on the antenna blossomed (it became like a spring), the tangents walk in their nests. - Tight on-volume knob. When taking into account the protective arc, it is not very convenient to use it. But it doesn't bother me too much. + - The device is quite weighty and bulky (for a manual radio station). It's just worth keeping in mind that it most likely will not fit into a trouser pocket.
Pros
- They work great. Reception checked at 300m in the village.
Cons
- Eliminated.
Pros
- Price. Many ranges, can work simultaneously on two frequencies. Rich equipment. The battery lasts a long time, but batteries would be better.
Cons
- The quality of workmanship as a whole is at a C grade - everything is staggering, flimsyly assembled, there is no instruction in 2022. The settings are tricky and a lot of superfluous. Rechargeable battery, not batteries (do not bring spare batteries with you). Power of course in fact turned out to be much lower than declared.
Pros
- The power of the receiver-transmitter, moisture-dust protection, high-quality assembly.
Cons
- Not revealed yet.
Pros
- Much better than Motorola T92 and cheaper. In a dense forest 4000 meters (we did not test further and that was enough). Motorola couldn't cope with 1000. Water protection performs its functions - the radio was constantly, then in the rain, then dropped into puddles - no failures.
Pros
- Price quality. Reception/transmission range
