Hello,
I can confirm the fix from Abbree works to resolve the CH15 issue for the GMRS UV-9R and also UV-9G. I sent message to ABBREE through amazon and they requested an photo of my email address. The next day they emailed me a 197 mb file link to download the update software and the same instructional video they have on Amazon for the UV-9r; the actual upgrade files are less that 1mb. I purchased the UV-9r from ABBREE and several UV-9g from Radioditty; Radioditty's resolution was "We'd like to arrange a new UV-9G radio replacement from our Chinese warehouse and shipping time takes 7-10 working days."
The update process is exactly the same as the video, quick and didn't change any saved settings; still works with CHIRP using the UV-9g profile, FM radio and everything else works as far as I can tell.
