Santa ordered mine for me on December 1st so it's been 11 weeks. Hopefully I'll have it in a month. If you can wait, I think it's going to be worth it; I say this based on my experience so far with the 9PX. The only two gripes are in my original post, and the CTCSS programming definitely makes software a must have. I think I'm going to order the RT Systems software, so I'll update when I do. I don't care about auto racing frequencies, so I'm probably going to replace that bank with ATC frequencies (ground, tower, TRACON, etc.) for airports/areas relevant to me, and good software will make that much easier.
Yes I agree it's going to be a great radio. But I am wondering if I should have just ordered the 9PX,(and made it work on GMRS) as I would have that one now. And it says it is in stock now as well. I wonder if Mark see's where your from and programs all the CTCSS codes in for your area? Also before it comes I want the RT software and a spare battery.

I'd like to know more about the RT systems software as well. I am waiting on the 9GX as well and have recently seen some videos of people getting theirs. Frankly I'm thinking of cancelling. These people waited at least 6 months to a year to get them! I was told 15 weeks and then Mark said hopefully less. It's been 3 months already. How long ago did you order your gx?

What antenna pins do they use? It would be nice to be able to use all the antennas I have for my Btech gmrs v2 without adapters. Im on the long wait list for mine. Its hard to float $200+ for a radio. Any comments??
I'm on the list as well. As far as I know the use SMA male antennas so you just need an adapter. I just received a package of them so I can use anything including my Midland MXT12 mag mount on my roof mounting an MXT26 6db gain antenna for my truck. Also got a super flexible cable to attach to the roof antenna to any HT. Hoping my 9GX gets here soon!

Can anyone recommend a GMRS HT i currently own a WOUXUN KG1000G 50 WATT mobile and i love it. and now i want to purchase handy talkies ive pretty much decided on the WOUXUN KG 935 G as im impressed with they're radios so my only deciding factor is output wattage. i think the KG 935 G is a 5 watt radio correct me if im wrong. Are there other gmrs handy talkies with higher output power. im willing to sacrafice the WOUXUN ease of use and functionality as a GMRS radio for more power.
thank you
greg
The 935 is a great radio and a lot people say that. It's my belief the uv9gx is a much better radio. Or the uv9g pro.

It's the radio itself I was interested in because it's a superheterodyne radio. The added channels don't bother me. I was going to get the pro version as it was available but decided to get the best at this time, I believe. The KG935G from what I've read and seen videos on is a darn good choice as well.

Yes, CCR means a Cheap Chinese Radio; some people exclude Wouxun from this definition.

If it were me, I would order the one you really like (especially if it is on Black Friday sale) and in the meantime pickup a CCR to use/play with in the meantime and then donate the CCR to a family member or friend when your preferred radio arrives.
hahaha. I already did! Ordered the UV-9GX. what do you mean by ccr? A cheap radio till my good one gets here?

TIDRADIO H8 problems with GMRS repeater access

Thats one reason I'm afraid to update my firmware. I have 230317 ! Works fine no matter how I program it. Bluetooth or chirp. Hits all repeaters.
