Technician's Take: Programming the UV-9R Plus
"The UV-9R Plus is a fantastic radio, but its greatest strength—the waterproof chassis—requires a specific type of programming cable that screws into the side. You cannot use standard 2-pin cables with this model. This bundle is perfect because it includes the correct waterproof data cable, making it easy to name your channels and set up repeater offsets using software like CHIRP."

The communication range quoted is calculated based on an unobstructed line of sight test under optimum conditions. The actual range will vary depending on terrain and conditions and is often less than the maximum possible. Your actual range will be limited by several factors including, but not limited to: terrain, weather conditions, electromagnetic interference and obstructions.
The UV-9R Plus utilizes a Multi-Pin Waterproof Connector. This ensures the radio stays sealed against water even when accessories are attached. Please note that standard 2-Pin (K1) accessories from the UV-5R will not fit this model.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How far can the Baofeng UV-9R Plus transmit?
With its 8W high-power output, the UV-9R Plus offers impressive range. In open environments with line-of-sight (like hilltops or open water), you can achieve 10km+. In typical urban areas with buildings, expect 1-3km. Range is heavily dependent on terrain and obstructions.
Is the Baofeng UV-9R Plus really waterproof?
Yes, it is certified IP67. This means the radio is totally dust-tight and can be submerged in water up to 1 meter depth for 30 minutes without damage. It is significantly more durable than the standard UV-5R series.
Why do I need the Programming Cable?
The programming cable allows you to connect the radio to a PC. This makes it much easier to name channels, set specific privacy codes (CTCSS/DCS), and organize frequency lists using software like CHIRP, which is far faster than manual keypad entry.
Do I need a license for the UV-9R Plus in the UK?
Yes. This is a high-power radio capable of transmitting on amateur and business frequencies. To use it legally for transmission in the UK, you require a valid Amateur Radio License or a Business Radio License. You do not need a license to listen.
Do UV-5R accessories fit the UV-9R Plus?
No. To maintain its waterproof rating, the UV-9R Plus uses a specific screw-in multi-pin connector. The standard 2-pin K1 accessories used on the UV-5R will not fit. However, we include a compatible earpiece in the box.
How long does the battery last?
The UV-9R Plus comes with a 2800mAh battery. For typical mixed usage (5% transmit, 5% receive, 90% standby), it will easily last a full day (12-18 hours). In standby mode, it can last considerably longer.
Can the UV-9R Plus communicate with other walkie-talkies?
Yes, as long as the other radios are analog and programmable to the same VHF/UHF frequencies and privacy codes (CTCSS/DCS). It works with other Baofengs, Kenwood, and Motorola analog radios within the supported frequency range.

Great little radio.

I see how Baofeng grows in quality
I am a Baofeng product owner for a pretty long time. I started with basic UV-5R and had another models. Now I tried UV-9R and can say that I see evolution of Baofeng product quality. Of corse it is still not a Motorolla but price also not as for Motorolla. With Baofeng I am sure that I have value for every cent which I paid.
