Radio Programming
Customers have mixed opinions regarding programming the BaoFeng UV-9S Tri-Band Ham Radio. While some find it easy to program using software like CHIRP and appreciate its features, others report issues with communication errors and receiving only nearby signals. Some users also note that the radio is not a tri-band as advertised but can transmit and receive on 1.25m band.
Highlights
Quality
Extremely happy, very nice quality and easy to program
2 amp capacity, sounds good, easy to use, and it is light and ergonomic.
Having a real triband antenna would make this radio top notch!
Squelch adjustment doesn't seem to change anything.
Price
It's about what you'd expect for the price point.
Not the greatest radio in the world, but ok for the money.
Competitiveness
This program actually is the same program and appears to be the same version of the program as the one i downloaded from abbree.
Also, this radio is very comparable with the one from btech, shares the same manual programming process, and it is much cheaper in price.
Similar menu and programming as the uv-5r.
