UV-9G

Has anyone any opinions on the Baofeng UV-9G HT?

The UV9G was my "go to" HT that I used when off-roading for a long time. It's cheap, waterproof, fairly tough, and did the job (talking to other Jeeps nearby) just fine.

I agree with off-roader but I live in a dead zone an talking to anyone has been difficult to say the least. It’s all that he said an more. I put the Nagora 771G antenna on it an the static is cleaner .   It’s a great starter radio. You always buy a more expensive radio down the road. Good luck.

The Nagoya UT-72G 20-Inch Magnetic Mount for GMRS is a handy and inexpensive way to use it in your mobile until you set up a more permanent mobile rig. Still just under $35 on Amazon as I type.

The higher antenna is a good choice but I don’t want to spend more an hear the static clearer.  I never knew that I lived in such a quiet area for the GMRS hobby. I do have to rethink my position with the GMRS hobby but not now. I’ll keep trying but me thinks it’s a lost cause.   I may try a roof antenna an see what happens but we’ll see. I do appreciate the help here but I may just have to move on.
