STOCK/BACKORDER STATUS UPDATES (May 26, 2023)

NOTE: I’ve been in and out of the vet and pet ER in the past week (with nearly no sleep), so please forgive me as I catch up on RMA returns and shipping current orders and backorders

Please bear with me as I work to catch up on about 200 UV9GX backorders.  Please do NOT repeatedly request your order status unless you think I’ve somehow passed your order based on the counts below (for your specific radio) or you didn’t get an order confirmation email.  Radio stock is coming in regularly and I’m shipping backorders as quickly as possible, but every email inquiry slows that down.  Be assured that I’m not ignoring anyone or unnecessarily delaying orders or RMA returns, I’m just dealing with excessive email inquiries, customer support requests, and continued heavy sales (not complaining – hehe).

Thanks for your understanding, support and patience as I continue to bring you the best pre-programmed GMRS, HAM and LMR handhelds possible.
Cheers, 73 & 69, –Mark   K6LED | WQXR567

  • BSR Wouxun KG-UV9PX HAM Two-Way Radio & SHTF Scanner - Flyer

    Wouxun KG-UV9PX HAM Two-Way Radio & SHTF Scanner ( $199.00)
    reviewed by Tommy Timberlake

    Great radio:
    This thing can easily hit repeaters twice as far as my UV5R could with much better reception which makes sense since it has twice the output wattage. The stock antenna works better than my UV5R with a Nagoya 771 which is great. I've gotten loud and clear reports on my signal from a repeater 30 miles away (flat terrain). Having true dual receive [TDR] is great for monitoring a second channel and not missing anything plus dual-PTT makes it easier to respond to that second channel. I live in an urban area and the superheterodyne receiver doesn't pick up other signals from different frequencies like my cheaper GMRS and Baofeng radios do. I was able to quickly backup my radio and program it using Chirp and the Wouxun software which was great.

    reviewed by Tommy Timberlake

    Seems to work fine on high power on my UV9PX. Sadly doesn't come with the belt clip, so I'm gonna have to rig something up to attach it to my Jeep dash that doesn't involve a belt clip holder. Would have given 5 stars if it came with the clip. [BSR Note: You can purchase the belt clip separately, since we choose not to charge people for a clip that most don't need.]

  • Smiley Antenna 46516A GMRS 465MHz 6-9dBd Gain 5–18in Telescoping 50W SMA-Male Antenna

    Smiley Antenna Super Stick 465MHz GMRS & NOAA SMA-M ($25.50)
    reviewed by tsavage64

    Really happy with this antenna:
    I ordered this early for the UV9GX. I have cheap radios too. I have a radioddity GMR-30, 5-watt, I threw this on and it was picking up a ton more signals. It was also more clear.
    Compared to the Nagoya NA- 771R, this kills it. Night and day difference I am ordering and SMA-Female version for my other Wouxun. I wanted something collapsible because I carry it in the truck.
    Lastly, Nagoya is notorious for counterfeits. I checked and made sure it's legit. But getting a smiley from BetterSafeRadio you don't have to worry about that at all, and you're supporting a local company and not a huge corporation.

    reviewed by EVOOA

    Very well built:
    I recently purchased the Wouxun KG-UV9PX and really enjoying it! With Mark's help at BetterSafeRadio I was able to get past a few new user hurdles. The radio is small enough to carry around comfortably yet large enough to be useable. Very well built and very well supported by BetterSafeRadio! Great customer service!!! Waiting for my new GMRS radio that I know I will enjoy just as well!

    Wouxun KG-916 GMRS Two-Way Radio & SHTF Scanner ( $109.00)
    reviewed by allenprice

    All are excellent:
    This is my third BSR GMRS radio purchase. One KG-UV9G PRO GMRS & now two KG-916 GMRS Radios; all are excellent.

    So good I bought this second KG-916 GMRS for a friend so he can have the same quality radio with this ease of use.

    I would have no problems buying another if the want or need arises. Simple to use, quality superheterodyne build, TX & RX are excellent and feels and operates like a solid rugged mobile GMRS radio. BetterSafeRadio support is excellent as well. Thank you.

    reviewed by bkw582

    I love the radio:
    I recently received my new Wouxun KG-UV9GX. I originally ordered the KG-UV9G Pro but it was backordered. Mark was able to work with me to get the upgrade to the KG-UV9GX which was available. (Thanks again Mark) I love the radio. It does exactly what I need it to do for my communications. I have since worked with Mark again on ordering some accessories and he has been the best in terms of customer service. I will definitely be buying more equipment from BetterSafeRadio to meet my GMRS radio needs in the future.

    reviewed by Dennis Crowley

    So loving my new radio:
    The UV9PX works great - added my local repeaters for the Philadelphia and Jersey Shore area and was able to hit several nearby. The RT Systems Advanced Programming Software and USB Cable Kit for the Wouxun KG-UV9P was very easy to use.

    reviewed by M. Stanley

    Customer Service - Excellent!
    I purchased a Wouxun UV9PX, and as I was attempting to correct my programing errors, I accidently performed a “RESET ALL” function. In addition to erasing my errors, I managed to erase all the BetterSafeRadio (“BSR”) channels (DO NOT perform a “MENU 61_RESET | ALL”). I reached out to Mr. Mark Lindsey – K6LED / WQXR567 and received a prompt response with technical advice on options for reloading the BSR proprietary channels.

    For my specific needs, Mr. Lindsey advised purchase of the RPS-KGUV9P-USB License for the RT Systems Advanced Programming Software and USB Cable Kit for the Wouxun KG-UV9P. In addition, I purchased the BSR proprietary and copyrighted “Codeplug” that allows for reloading of the BSR HAM + SHTF channels. Mr. Lindsey was once again (this is my second purchase) prompt in providing technical advice related to accessories that would ensure my satisfaction with the Wouxun UV9PX, and be a responsive member to the needs of my community through the Lake Oswego Amateur Radio Emergency Service (“LOARES”).

    Thank you Mr. Lindsey!

    P.S. I used the Wouxun UV9PX on a LOARES exercise this past weekend, and I'm very happy with its performance!

    The Best Radio:
    Finally, today I got the best radio that is currently on the market. Of course I'm talking about the Wouxun KG-UV9GX from BetterSafeRadio. Can't wait to program and use.

    You won't go wrong if you order. If you really want to be a GMRS user... KG-UV9GX that's so good and the best radio.

    Thank you very much Mark for being patient with me. Thank you once again, I hope we will cooperate in the future.

    Radio is great:
    I ordered a radio and messed up the order in a couple ways. After discussing with Mark we came up with a great solution and I'm good to go. Customer service was great, radio is great. Wish he had even more radios to sell me. :-)
