Your information is great - when you finally get your shit together and stop with the repeated (and failed) attempts at being funny. But your presentation absolutely SUCKS. Cut the piss-poor attempts at comedy (you're NOT good at it at all, dude - sorry, but as Joe Friday used to say, "just the facts") and get to the damned point already! We get that you like (or at least, that you're getting paid to pretend you like) the radio - but you only make yourself look like an idiot (Hmmm... perhaps that's your fetish/goal - hadn't thought of that possibility) when you do the stupid "let's pause for a moment to pretend it's my ol' lady's tit" thing every third sentence or so. Gawd... so much pre-teen level cringe out of a grown man... who'd have thought it possible? So far, the vids of yours I've watched have put a bad taste in my mouth - bad enough that even though I WAS sitting on the fence but leaning hard toward buying a Baofeng radio of some sort - just looking around for more info to decide on exactly which one, after watching the vids you've made pertaining to Baofengs, I'm MUCH less inclined to do business with the company specifically BECAUSE of your videos about their products. Not because you've told me they're bad, but because your presentation and lousy attempts at comedy have left me with an impression of "If the company is going to sink so low as to hire this obnoxiously cringey ass-clown to flog their product, how can it possibly be worth even scrap price, let alone whatever the retail price is?" Like I said - great info (when you finally get to it) but utterly obnoxious, un-funny (to the point of being cringeworthy) presentation.
and yet.. you keep watching....
Huh huh huh… his name is Felsin
Felson Ferguson looks for things to get offended by them. I studied Behavioral Psychology for 30+ years as my undocumented educational hobby. Randy scored a bull's eye with his act of drifting into an obsessed fantasy of love over the radio then quickly snaps back to reality. That act is unique and FUNNY. You do have a genuinely normal sense of comedic humor. You could do standup on America's Got Talent!
Haha…. Someone here is Jealous! So, so, jealous! It oozes from him like Anakin Skywalker‘s anger…. 🤣
If you don't like the videos. Quit b***hing and don't watch.
I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you for looking out for me, your "favorite viewer". This is great news and impressive. Kudos to Baofeng for listening to the customer and making improvements to what already appears to be a good radio. Definitely will be picking one up.👍
wait i thought he was talking to me. I thought i was his favorite viewer. Now im butt hurt like Felsin Ferguson up above LOL
@@mikemcdonald5147 You're both wrong. I'm his favorite viewer, so get over it. :P
No I’M THE FAVORITE!
Hate to bust your bubble but Randy told me I'M his favorite viewer so, there !
@@mrwdpkr5851 time changes everything. Now I am his favorite
i want to have randys background music as my ringtone so I always feel like he is calling me, his favorite viewer.
They should start sending you prototypes before final production to settle these issues before they go to the public.
Tremendous idea!
After watching this video, I bought a UV9G. I was expecting to find the extra screws for the attachments, but there were none. A trip to the hardware store did not yield a proper sized screw, so I ordered a set of different sizes, I found that the m2,5 fit perfectly. I hope this helps some of your viewers. The happy ham.
sounds like you should order a dozen
You did man.. TWICE! ("that's what she said...") Midland first, Baofeng now.. good job man and, and I really mean it, THANK YOU! What you are achieving here will help all of us enthusiasts!!
oh and PLEASE make that video about narrow band vs. wide band :-D
I just received my Baofeng UV-9G here in Panama and I am happy for two things: 1.- Every change you mentioned on this video was made (software and the screws for the programming cable) and 2.- EVEN MOR HAPPY and thankful for this channel and the position you have on UA-cam #myga and honest reviews, this is a 101% trustful channel.
Bests regards from a Venezuelan follower!
I got mine yesterday. The big issues are fixed. They also fixed the ability to "skip" the NOAA channels in the scan.
1. Yay, it's fixed!
2. Yay, it's fixed.
3. Yay, it's fixed.
4. Power setting via the # key. Not fixed yet.
5. Tight hole, Not fixed yet.
6. The screw they send is not the same.
7. Not on Chirp yet.
8. Still in RAR format but 7-Zip is free.
Got an email from baofeng that I’ll have to wait for my radio(restocking this Friday). Going to email them back demanding I receive the updated version. Will be mentioning your videos!
Two things Randy, please complain to Wookson about all the things that should be changed on their radios too. I can give you a list if it isn't obvious.
Also, please call the city council where I live and make them paint all of the fire hydrants pink. Thank you in advance for doing this. I am a disgruntled ham operator.
I'm happy as your favorite viewer that you are improving these radios for us. Even if you never use them you're changing the standard for manufacturers and it's making us a better product. thanks for your help!
I am falling in love with this radio and i done even have one
Order one.. I just did, can't wait to try all the different antennas 👍🏻💯😎
@@scottl3739 The Expert Power antenna does fit the base. But the stock antenna is good.
I have the ham radio version, UV-9R Plus. And love um. This make me want to try GMRS!
@@chrissewell1608 I've always switched out the stock antennas on every ham and gmrs HT that I've purchased - which is quite a few. I've had excellent performance from the Expert Power 7" antennas. If those fit, I think the plastic molding is a non-issue, just go with one of those, they are not expensive. Personally, the 15" antenna versions are a "pain in the bi-" as Randy would say, unless you're just leaving the radio on a desk.
Ordered it just now! Thanks for a great job and for being a part of improving the user-friendliness of this radio. Looking forward to learning how this will make our UTV trips better, safer, and more engaging with other riders out on the trails.
Does it have the 7 updates?
Damn! That is amazing! That you got the ear of the manufacturers on the other side of the globe and they are fixing all but one (to me, very minor) issue of the eight is commendable, both of you and of Baofeng. You are a definite force of change for the better for GMRS! Thank You, Sir!
Thanks for all you do ! I appreciate you taking time to make these videos it makes things easier to understand. Big thumbs up from me sir !
Just wanted to say that I love your vids and was able to (today) get my GMRS call sign. Your vids inspired me to do so! Was gonna go technician license...and I still may...but youve opened up GMRS for me! Thanks!
I have just started my way down the radio road, great videos, I got the UV-5R a few weeks ago, and just got a set of UV-5X a few days ago, now I am looking to get the GMRS license.
Update on the UV-9G. I just received my copy today and it included the extra screw for the programming cable, the factory programming has been fixed, and it’s a tight squeeze but the Nagoya NA771G will screw in with some effort and works fine. Even the factory supplied antenna is a tight fit. BUT, the # key still doesn’t toggle the power level like the manual says, it only locks the keypad.
Tap the # button
@@trueheavenlywarrior2033does not work on channel mode, only in frequency mode
Thanks for all the info and follow up. My son in law and myself are in the process of setting up a repeater and network at a lake in the Ozarks for the residents that live around here. We have been looking at waterproof handhelds and glad we found the video on this model. We have enjoyed your video's and gained a lot of useful information from them and hopefully be able to put some of that information to good use. Thanks again
You da man. You rock. I ordered one from Baofeng already, and today got an email that they were "out of stock" and would I like to wait for the next inventory. 😎
WOW! AMAZING! Thank you and KUDOS to Baofeng for watching your video and listening to your review! The fact that they listened and are implementing the 7 of 8 issues is totally awesome! Completely understandable about the case mold antenna issue. You truly have the POWER of being a Social Media SUPERSTAR😁
Great information! Thank you for this. I was just watching your nitpick video and noticed on the affiliate link that it looked like they had addressed most of your issues. I was going to suggest an update video but obviously you've already taken care of that. This looks like an excellent value for anyone that's looking to buy a GMRS radio. Thanks again
I got my UV9G last week. I noted that:
- no second screw yet
- CHIRP is now supported
- the bug that did not allow the NOAA channels be skipped while scanning was fixed.
-CTSS/DCS codes have been removed
- wide band channels are now wide band
7 out of 8 being addressed isn't bad at all Nice Work Baofeng.. You Rock Randy 8:40 @NotaRubicon Productions
Thanks Randy, I bought the uv9g after watching your video and I couldn't be happier. All the glitches that you pointed out were fixed except for the antenna problem. Thanks for making learning about radios fun.
Once again, Randy has put on a really good show. I like that flow that might be described as "Modern Vaudevillian"; wound up deep belly laughing a few times this round :D And, kudos to the Feng of Bao for addressing the "nit-picks" and seeking to correct what can be sorted through software (including CHIRP support). It shows that the 'Feng wants to sell "good radios cheap", and not just "cheap radios cheap"... A positive direction indeed.
I'm glad I bought the boafeng but more glad when I found this channel!
GOLD!
Just ordered two. Every radio I have ordered is because of this channel. He speaks to my soul...

Having watched numerous videos that you’ve posted, I have to say that this one is my favorite - the humor, wit & creativity, coupled with the info you bestow upon your audience, is absolutely brilliant!
Great video. Thanks. As always I appreciate the way you simplify things
Thanks for all your vids.
I’ve been trying to figure out what gmrs radios to get for our Jeep trips.
Finally decided on these.
Bought from your link.
Just ordered a pair of these, I can’t wait to test them. Thanks for the videos 🤘
Great job as usual Randy, keep up the good work, love your videos, I'm learning a lot. Thanks
Just a FYI just received my UV9G and they seemed to have also fixed the antenna hole issue, put in my Nagoya NA-771G and it fits perfect
Enjoying your videos and kudos to baofeng’s attentive responses to an influencer ;) I think I’ve purchased 7 baofeng radios, and programming cables in the last 8 months. I think I see a couple of new GMRS radios in the near future. I haven’t even gotten close to spending the money for 1 icom HT. Working on the Chirp software, my radios will all soon be consistently programmed.
Randy, again, thanks for the update on this radio. Definitely will order one once the bugs are worked out. I was looking at my Smiley antenna that you had recommended in another video, it's base is a little smaller then the Nagoya771G. It may work with this radio. Also, digging the background picture. Thanks again for your time and wisdom.
Smiley antenna works. I bought two of these radios and just got in Smiley antennas for both. No issues and plenty of room.
great job randy always good to see you fight for the best of the radio you buy. keep up the good fight
Thank you Randy for the great video and for prompting Baofeng to make the described improvments (most of which were incorporated into my recently purchased UV-9Gs). As mentioned in the comments below, still unable to change transmitting power with the # key or reverse repeater shift with short press of scan.. The software downloads at Baofeng were still RARs as of late April 2022. Regardless, still a great radio for the price!
Sir, you are great! Thank you for your style. Fun to watch, easy to understand.
Randy, I just received mine today. Thanks for your help
Very cool to hear Baofeng watches your videos and responded to the gripes! I'd have liked to hear them say they will look into the antenna problem seeing as how they admitted it's an issue with the molds. They should want to fix that eventually. I like to think lots of people use aftermarket antennas.
How does one differentiate between the current stock and the coming revised, updated VV9G on Amazon??? Will it say "Upgraded version" on the listing or are we left to roll the dice? Great job, Randy!!! It pays to be a major "influencer" on social media!
Yes, could you please advise when the “next” inventory is available and how to differentiate it from “old” inventory. Thank you.
Good question. You might be able to contact the seller before you purchase from Amazon. Then ask um'
just wait 6 months
Likely it'll be a firmware update and everyone will be able to update. I don't know for sure, but that's my assumption.
I hope they do the corrections; I'm waiting and hope we'll be notified....
Thanks! I am a subscriber to your channel and found your GMRS series of videos extremely helpful in learning about GMRS, how to get my license, and choosing which radio to buy. Keep up the good work.
Thank YOU!
Thanks Randy, you do us a lot of good for us by bringing attention to these problems!!
Also keep up the comedy it’s great!!
I just purchased a UV-9G and they did change the CTSS, WIDE BAND AND POWER SETTING. the correct antenna was available from Nagoya. You made a difference! Thank you to you and Baofeng.
Another great video Randy! Looks like I'm picking up a few of these to replace my Retevis radios.
Good video and to the point on the issues with this radio. Reviews help to make a company correct
Problems. Thanks Randy
Wow, now that’s impressive. You are one powerfully dude. I’m inclined to wait on buying one once the fixes have been implemented. Thanks
I just applied for my GMRS license today ($35!) and I think this radio will be my first. I was wondering what to select and watching LOTS of videos (mostly yours), but this seems like a great start. Thanks Randy!
I bow at the altar of NotaRubicon! Gonna love the UV-9G!
Good on them for responding and addressing many of the issues. ❤
I just found your community. Really enjoying the content.
You The Man. Thanks for making the world a better place for all of us!
Thank you for the update! Sounds like an incredible deal. Should I order one now or wait longer for their “next inventory?”
Placed an order thru radio city a few days ago for the uv-9g hopefully my radio comes with the new programming out of the box. Thanks for these awesome videos
Good video. Glad that some of these companies listen to there customers.
Far as I’m concerned Baofeng is one of the best radio manufacturers
Good to know they listened, I was feeling uneasy when I purchased this radio a few days ago. Seeing that they reached out to you I'm hoping I get the Beautiful Redhead model and not the first release. It's been a year since this video so I'm being hopeful. Much Respect for you're Awesome and informative videos brother, STay Blessed and I'll definitely be watching 🤝😎🤙
I love your videos! Thank You so much for your hard work!
I followed your link, read boefang had addressed nit pic issues so I ordered my 1st GMRS band radio.
Thanks for all the info with choices...jesshh...
good going!......most people can't even get a "reply" to a complaint....you not only got a reply...you got the problems that Baofeng can fix....fixed..... Remarkable !
Just picked up a UV9G. Great little radio! In addition to all the fixes listed already, I purchased mine with a Nagoya 771g which fit perfectly. Thanks for recommending this great starter radio.
Thank you for the update and getting Baofeng to fix things.
Sounds like Baofeng's customer service is listening, and responding. This makes me want to but more of their radios. I want the UV-9G, but not until I know these issues have been taken care of. Good job.
Just now getting this radio, all of the nit picks were addressed, even my Nagoya antenna was able to screw in correctly. Not sure if I got a one off but I’m glad they listened!
Just bought one! Thanks!
That is simply awesome. If all manufacturers would listen to the customer base like this we could all have nice things. :)
Cool! Mine is ordered, but not yet shipped. It won't have the fixes, but I'll make do for now. Thanks!
just got 2 full set of the UV-9G and they are ready with everything you mention congrats
Dang right you got influence. One of the best GMRS reviewers out there.. Pretty funny too..
Please continue with your sense of humor, I think it’s perfect
Baofeng is lucky you did the neat pick video. I would just have returned the radio. Now that I know it's fixed, I will be able to order one and keep it. Thank you!
You could probably use a knife or moto-tool to trim the plastic around the antenna, so you can attach an antenna with a bigger base, but you would probably not have a water-proof radio thereafter. There is probably a 'water-proof' seal in that area. You will need to decide which IP rating you want to retain.
As Ham and gmrs license holder. Your Vidios are the best radio content on UA-cam
Very cool!! Well done!
Looks Great Value and good to see that Baofeng China is taking note and responding quickly
i JUST GOT A BENEFIT FROM YOUR VIDEO i BOUGHT A UV-9G AND IT HAS THE FIXES FOR THE PROBLEMS YOU DESCRIBED/ THANKS!
Good job, Randy. Thanks for the efforts and thanks to Baofeng for being influenced. Signed, a non-sad ham, WA2JOE.
I just bought 2 of these because of this guy !
Very nice!! I bought one a few days ago before it was sold out on Amazon. It's cool that Baofeng is going to fix the issues on the next inventory update. I am assuming these fixes can be applied on the next firmware update? Probably won't matter much as I will fix the issues myself except the button bug which can only be fixed in firmware update. Also, gonna miss that extra screw which I can get one from Home Dept. lol
Great job in getting Baofeng to make those corrections.
I bought a uv-9G gmrs in January 2022, I really like it
Yea I bought 3 of these because of you. THANK YOU!
OH man your videos make my day!
Sidebar - Your humour is unique and funny AF. Do you know Leon Redbone? You two would have a blast together... Cheers!
I got my UV-9G way before i even saw this video and they did infact take off the ctcss tones had everything on wide band and had a extra screw, so lets go baofeng actually following up and getting it done!
You da' man! And Baoefeng good on you to for addressing those nitpicks. I will certainly order a radio when the new inventory gets shipped. That being said...how will I know when the new inventory ships? Cheers Baofeng from Denver Colorado USA!
My new Baofeng UV-9G was not preset with CTCSS. Thank you! Bought it last week.
thank you so much just ordered vie link
Mine is on back order from Amazon. Delivery date is mid October. I hope that I get one that has your nit-pick changes. Btw - I and many other favorite viewers, signed onto Zello last night. I don’t have my license yet so I couldn’t speak. I am going to apply soon.
I also signed onto Zello. I also dont have my license as if yet but will be getting soon.
Since owning a UV-9G for a month, It's a pretty good radio. However, The battery keeps coming out too easy and it's questionable if I can find a OEM battery that properly fits the radio. Another thing to is that sometimes the DCS or CTCSS seeking on the UV-9G doesn't really work 90% of the time unless I'm doing something wrong. But overall, if you have a battery that does fit the radio. It's a good buy for $40 for the beginner or hobbyist's.
Yes baby ! Bought one because of your vid man !
Thanks for your informational videos! I've ordered a UV-9G radio, I'm new and just now getting started on my journey into Ham. I was wondering if you had a video which goes into detail how to make the adjustments you've pointed out?
Thanks, as a non windows guy I can't wait. When we confirm the next batch is out Im grabbing one. I hope one of the awesome viewers confirms when the 2nd gen comes out
Cause and effect... It's a beautiful thing 🤜🤛
I will be getting one red head ,thanks great info 👍
I m using BaoFeng.. uv5r and happy about it.
Good to know that BaoFeng is open for improvement, i think i am going to get uv9g for my kids 😃
Look at you, getting Baofeng to bow to your request. Such a stud.
I love your no BS review videos. Any word on when the changes you talked about will be made?
Well done, Thank You
Absolutely amazing looking radio. And absolutely fantastic that Baofeng was so responsive.
In fact the only thing more amazing and more fantastic, to me, than this radio and the responsiveness of Baofeng....
Is the fact that there appaerantly is at least 5 billion new Linux, Chromebook and MacOS users just since your last UV9G video!
😁
That’s a company that “gets is,” and gets it done quick.
