Andrei Posted Thursday at 07:06 PM Report Posted Thursday at 07:06 PM (edited) Hi! I am the happy owner of the Baofeng UV-9G which I like a lot. But I hate the beltclip and, besides, while I still have the screw, I lost the clip itself during a hurricane. What I am looking for would be a 3D printer belt clip which would use the screw from the original clip. And since I don't have a 3D printer I have to purchase that somewhere. Can you recommend a person or an online store which I could get such a belt clip from? I should also clarify that I don't like Baofeng type "fat" belt clips, I am hoping to find one which can use the screw, but would remain "flat(er)" than the think Baofeng ones. And, to clarify, I can use a search engine, the reason I ask here is to get ==>personal<== recommendations or suggestions Thank you very much! Edited Thursday at 08:43 PM by Andrei explain the difference between a forum and search engine. Quote

WRUU653 Posted Thursday at 09:05 PM Report Posted Thursday at 09:05 PM You’re right that belt clip sucks. This is one on eBay, you’ll note that it doesn’t have a hinge mechanism. I just left mine off and put it in a pocket or a holder like this. SteveShannon and WRXB215 2 Quote

My tongue in cheek comment was a criticism of @amaff’s comment Did you take it personally because I replied to you?? As someone who suffers from ADD, I am always grateful to someone who enjoys doing the research and giving me a link in response. To those who passive-aggressively SIMPLY suggest “google” or “YouTube” they can F-themselves!! Quote

The thing is, though, one can just as easily type the exact same thing into a search engine and get the very results they are asking for here. There's a world of difference in "Hey guys, been doing some research on this thing. Looking for some additional input" and "Hey guys, tell me about this thing." Quote

You misunderstood my point: give me a link to a YouTube video answering my question and I am a Happy Camper!! Suggesting simply “YouTube,” not so much!! Quote

Looking for some additional input" and "Hey guys, tell me about this thing." Is there?? When the OP or question poster indicates he has autism, for example, which has happened here before? You would rather debate the metadata rather than just being silent, not posting anything and letting those of us who like to do the research, answer the question?!? I don’t look behind to the motive of the questioner; if I can help, I do. If I can’t, I move on to the next thread. But I never bully the questioner for asking the question. I guess YMMV! Quote
