WRMN374 Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Has anyone any opinions on the Baofeng UV-9G HT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffRoaderX Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 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. Dave453 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRPL668 Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 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. bob.

Dave453 Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRPL668 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 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. bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
