I am also new here. Fun to see some call signs close to mine. I picked up a Baufeng UV-9G for my first radio and dove in with Chirp pretty quick and have programed some local repeaters in it successfully along with some local scanner channels. I have a wish list that includes the KG-UV9GX. With the backorder issue I thought to start out with something I could readily get (I was impatient, lol). It also didn't hurt that the price tag was cheep while getting my feet wet (IP67). So far I am pleased and enjoying learning about it all and can see adding more in the future. Those KG935g's look to be a nice radio. GL - WRUU653
