Let’s check in on Not-AI-Rubicon, and see what his feelings are on the KG-UV9PX: “Feelings? My feelings are irrelevant. But let's talk about the Wouxun KG-UV9PX. It's a dual-band handheld radio, and compared to its predecessors, it's got a few new tricks up its sleeve. Things like dark color screen modes for covert operations, a quick-jump feature to your favorite emergency channel, and an extended receive range on the 1.25m band. Plus, it's got a brighter flashlight, stiffer knobs to avoid accidental changes, and it can be reset to a standard HAM configuration with 29 channels. So, in essence, the KG-UV9PX is like the Swiss Army Knife of radios. It's feature-rich and durable, which makes it a good choice for ham operators who want a bit more than just a simple push-to-talk experience. However, remember that with great power comes great responsibility, and also a thicker manual. So what I am really saying is, if you're into HAM radios and need a versatile, rugged device, the KG-UV9PX is a solid choice. But don't come crying to me if you can't figure out all its features; I'm busy enough swinging my Boofwhang UV-5R by its antenna. ..... 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸... ⬇️ 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄....”

I told them if they have a need to use this its because something has gone sideways in the world and the last thing they need to worry about is getting busted by the FCC. If they have a need for it, it's an emergency so use it.

I'm confused, isn't gmrs freqs in the UHF and would thus be fine using the dual band antenna? Sorry for the dumb question but I'm a recovering sad ham and thus now leaning more about gmrs.
@bettersaferadio
@bettersaferadio 7 месяцев назад
The stock antenna on the PX is tuned for the Ham bands, so while it is widely tuned and can be used on GMRS, it's not optimal. You would be better off getting a GMRS-tunes antenna, like the Smiley 5/8 Slim Duck or SuperStick mentioned in the video (at BSR), for the best fars on GMRS, for emergency use only, of course.

Great video! I have a similar older model of the same radio, and it drains the battery after a few few weeks -- even when not in use. Anyone intending to use this radio for emergencies, please add a piece of plastic between the battery and the body of the radio so the contacts don't touch. It will prevent your battery from being completely drained whenever you want to use it.
@bettersaferadio
@bettersaferadio 7 месяцев назад
Or just store the battery off of the radio, which is a good practice for all radios, as any rechargeable battery could potentially leak or swell or worse (rare, but it can happen), which would not be good for the radio. :)

First off, I love the T shirt! It is the kind an engineer loves! I wanted to talk about another class of users. I volunteer at two railroad museums. We use radios to ensure safety and to facilitate control. While our organizations are licensed, our individual users are typically not ham operators. They follow the rules of the organization. One group, on VHF in the railroad frequencies, has rules that are quite compliant. The dispatcher controls communications and ever communication is ended by the dispatcher using our call sign. The other group, on a UHF business frequency, is like the Wild West! Our users like to own their own radios to control accessories and battery life. And we don’t wish to spend $50 to have someone program 2 frequencies for us. So these “non-ham” radios with decent quality audio are important to us. Sure, a Buofeng cheapo has an interesting value proposition but we are willing to invest in better quality. Keep up the good reviews. And yes, we are working to tighten up the Wild West radio useage though they are not all that bad and there is not any useless chatter on the air.

@angieandretti 3 месяца назад
14:41 "Don't do this or you'll be sorry." Could you expand on that? If I went too far out-of-band, would it brick the radio... or just cause it to crash and I'd have to power-cycle it? The latter is what a Baofeng does if you enter wild limit numbers and try to transmit on a frequency that it physically cannot do. Basically I'm asking if I can experiment - because "you'll be sorry" sounds serious... but also vague.

I listen to FM broadcast on my Boofwang and now on my Quansheng while also monitoring selected frequency. I like to do this as I fall asleep, so all the coast to coast conspiracies are imprinted into my reptilian brain. The only drawback besides being hungry for flying insects when i wake up is that the radio is either still playing or worse yet the battery has died while I was sleeping. Do you know of any radio that has a sleep function? Why does these radios not have such a function? Am I crazy!!? Why am I yelling? A setting to make the radio automatically power off after a selected time span would be nice.

In general, Wouxun does make good quality radios. However, I do would like to point out that the radios are not true full duplex radios as advertised by Wouxun. Full duplex will work in the VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF, UHF/VHF configuration but it does not work full duplex in a VHF/UHF configuration. The radio will de-sensitize when transmitting on VHF and receiving on UHF at the same time which results in loss of reception in the UHF part.

Randy, Chris, (or anyone else who might know the answer to this question), what would happen if we got hit with an EMP attack? Would all of our radios become paperweights? Some people say if our radios were on they would be fried, while others say if the batteries were attached to the radios and the radios were off, they would be fried. And still others say even if the batteries were off and the batteries detached they still would be fried. Finally, are most quality safes good faraday cages? If radios were placed in plastic bags and put in a safe, would they be protected? (Of course, many EMP attacks are followed by nuclear strikes about a half hour later, but there are exceptions.)

Randy Bro...Can't unlock this UV9PX no matter how hard I try. I keep getting "Freq Over." Yes I changed the limits on TX. Saved...and uploaded to radio. No go...I've unlocked a few radios. Did Best radio change something? Help...

Sorry. Not sure what I can do to help. Either you are doing it wrong, you're trying to transmit on a frequency that is still out of range even when unlocked, or, for some reason, yours is not unlock able.. a quick email to BetterSafeRadio support will probably help.

So, maybe I missed it when I watched your video on the KG-UV9GX (GMRS-locked version of this, I assume?). Can the GX version be unlocked like this PX version?

Absolutely love your videos! As a "professional.. Radio.. Operator.." 😂 I find the flashlight of a radio most important.. when I'm.. using.. the temporary toilet at base 😂 I'm glad you reviewed the often overlooked flashlight! Again, love your videos! I don't like sad hams 😆 keep up the good work! Again, love your videos!

I still have the KG935G that you recommended a while back... decent radio but I never found any kind of unlock feature for it... so it was kind of a waste of money for what it is... the uv5r out does it imo.

OMG! You did blink! I had to rewind and play at quarter speed to see it! That probably means we’re seeing the real Randy and not the AI this time. I’m another happy ham and giddy gmrs user, keep on keeping on!
