The Wouxun KG-UV9D Plus+ is a pre-programmed & HAM-calibrated version of the original revered and trusted Wouxun KG-UV9D (Plus) amateur radio, available only from BetterSafeRadio. The Wouxun 9-Series radios are known for their quality double-conversion superheterodyne receivers, stable performance & pro features, while remaining easy to use, even for beginners. The new UV9D++ is functionally similar to other 9-Series radios.
If you like the clarity and reliability of other Wouxun radios, then you’ll love the advanced features, pre-programming, additional battery capacity, and convenience of USB-C charging, along with the true dual superheterodyne receivers on the UV9D (Plus)+ for normal everyday HAM use, as well as for emergency EmComm and SHTF uses.
The optional slimmer 2000 mAh battery pack from the original UV9D & UV9D (Plus) is also compatible with the UV9D++ for a lighter, thinner body. The optional extended-capacity 3200 mAh battery pack from the UV9P, UV9PX & UV9D Mate is also compatible with the UV9D++ for longer operating time. Check out all of the Wouxun 9-Series Accessories, which are all interchangeable.
Note: The UV9D++ can be RESET by a keypad Menu option. Doing so will erase all of the pre-programed SHTF channels and extra HAM channels. Please save a backup your radio codeplug (programing file) using the free Wouxun factory software and the “red” Wouxun USB cable (sold separately), CHIRP, or the RT Systems Advanced Programing Software & USB Cable Kit (sold separately) in case you ever unintentionally RESET the radio. If you’ve accidentally RESET your radio, please see the restoration options on my Custom Radio Programing Services page.
Note: Transmitting on the ARS (Amateur Radio Service) requires a test & license (currently $35 for 10 years and typically takes only a few days to obtain your HAM license from the FCC).
Shipping Note: Due to USPS restrictions, orders with 3 or more Li-ion battery packs in a box must be sent by Ground Advantage surface transport. Packages with batteries (with or without a radio) weighing over 5 pounds will need to be split up into multiple shipments, which may require an additional shipping fee. I will contact you about this if necessary. Contact me if you have any questions. Unfortunately, I’m not shipping internationally at this time (US-based mail forwarding services such as Shippsy.com Stackry.com are fine though). Contact me if you have any questions.
Detailed Description
The Wouxun KG-UV9D Plus+ is a 999 channel programable dual-band handheld analog double-conversion superheterodyne FM Amateur/HAM two-way radio transceiver with wide 7-band receive range, TDR (true dual receive), full-duplex, repeater capability (with CTCSS/DCS split-tones and non-standard PL tones), and pro features ideal for individuals, scouts, SHTF preppers, survivalists, over landers, truckers, or EmComm emergency communication groups. It has 2.5 kHz tuning steps and comes custom pre-programed with 858 channels for HAM + SHTF* (ships with Tx locked to HAM bands for Part 97 compliance), for dual-use HAM transceiver & analog AM/FM scanner operation. User programable with free downloadable Wouxun programing software (link above – requires optional USB cable & x86 Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 or 11, or a Mac running Parallels), free open-source CHIRP programing software, or the RT Systems UV9D Advanced Programing Software & USB Cable Kit.
With a full 5 Watts of VHF power (4 Watts on UHF) and a simplex/talk-around range of 2 to 7+ miles (much more when used with a repeater or at optimal elevations with minimal line-of-sight obstructions), the KG-UV9D (Plus)+ provides reliable amateur or emergency radio communications for personal disaster preparedness, scouting, prepping, survival, search & rescue, off-roading, trekking, hiking, Neighborhood Watch, ARES, RACES, SkyWarn, AMSAT, REACT, CERT, Guardian Angels & EARS groups to keep in touch when other methods of communication break down. IP55 rated, FCC Part 97 Compliant & Part 15B FCC Certified. The UV9D++ is custom power calibrated for US HAM simplex & repeater use (at a 146.520 & 440 MHz centers) and transmits on all 2 meter & 70 centimeter amateur radio frequencies.
The UV9D++ comes pre-programed with many ready-to-use Ham simplex channels. You can easily change the PL Tones (or DCS Codes) from the front panel on any of these pre-programed channels. This is handy when you want to find a talk-in frequency or quickly jump to an open simplex frequency without having to re-program on the fly every time. The 9D++ can be easily field programed via the front panel or you can use a variety of software options to add as many Ham (or other) channels (simplex or repeater) as you desire. Or, turn the radio into an all-receive scanner – It’s totally up to you!
Note that when the UV9D Plus+ is reset using the [MENU_61 “RESET” ALL] function, the radio will reset to a default configuration and you will lose all pre-programed HM+SHTF channels, so please backup your programming first.
The Wouxun KG-UV9D (Plus)+ operating range is as good or better than any other affordable Commercial/Ham or GMRS radio, even with its included high-gain flexible or dual-band duck antennas, which are better than most radios in this price range (and above). As well, with an after-market high-gain duck, whip, telescoping, emergency roll-up J-pole, mobile mag-mount or base station antenna, you will see a significantly improved talk range, even when communicating with another stock handheld. Using the Wouxun KG-UV9D Plus+ with a repeater will greatly extend your potential operating range, even as far as 100+ miles.
In addition, the UV9D++ features simultaneous dual-receiver scanning, 10 scanning groups, making the KG-UV9D (Plus)+ a reliable portable analog communication device & scanner, especially with its full transmit power, wide 7-band receive range, NOAA WX Weather Rx, FM Broadcast Radio Rx, and a full host of Wouxun UV9-Series compatible accessories (available separately).
Check out all of the UV9D++ 9-Series accessories, such as the highly-tuned HAM antenna options from Smiley Antenna.
Product Highlights
FCC Certified HAM Radio, Repeater Capable & IP55
Great for personal hobby, SHTF (S#it Hits The Fan) survival prepping, and Amateur Radio emergency EmComm communications for ARES, RACES, NNW (National Neighborhood Watch), CERT, REACT, GA (Guardian Angels) & EARS (Emergency Assistance Radio Syndicate organized by BetterSafeRadio in Long Beach, CA) municipal and private neighborhood safety groups. Full output 5 Watts of transmit power (on VHF, 4W on UHF) for maximum range and impressive simplex & repeater performance, with IP55 (dust & water jets resistant) rating for outdoor use.

True Dual Receive, Dual-Scanning, Cross-Band Repeater & Broadcast FM Radio
Allows monitoring two frequencies (in the VFO) or memory channels simultaneously (V+V, U+U, V+U or U+V) in TDR (True Dual Receive) mode. You can also use a “Dual-Watch” mode by setting the second “sub-receiver” to mute when first “main receiver” is actively receiving a signal. And, you can even scan frequencies or channels on both receivers simultaneously or use the Priority Scan feature to always scan a user-defined priority channel in the background, so you never miss a call. Great for scanning emergency channels while monitoring a “home” repeater or call channel, or even listening to a Broadcast FM Radio station while monitoring 2m or 70cm FM Call or any other frequency or channel. A single receiver mode is also available for simplified or dedicated operations. Set up a portable single or bidirectional cross-band repeater for field SAR, base-camp or remote base operation.
999 Channels, 3 Power Levels, Dual-PTT, VFO & FPP
Easily program up to 999 regular VHF/UHF channel memories with 8-character alpha-numeric tags, and 20 Broadcast FM Radio station memories (1019 channels total). A traditional FPP (Front Panel Programable) Dual-VFO mode allows you to enter any two frequencies in the radio’s wide RX range with the keypad at the same time. There are 3 programable power levels for operating compatibility and flexibility (VHF: 5/2/1 W, 4W on UHF) – Custom calibrated for HAM simplex & repeater operation at band centers of 146.520 & 440 MHz (instead of the odd Chinese factory tuning with other dealers). There’s even a handy LED Safety Flashlight and a Stopwatch feature built-in – great for emergencies, recreation & sporting events.
Pro Features & Ample 1 Year Warranty!
The UV9D++ is an easy to operate radio with its compact size, simple menu system and Front Panel Programing. It includes a kitchen-sink list of advanced features expected in a high-end amateur radio (see Key Features above) – The Wouxun KG-UV9D (Plus)+ is the Ham radio you will EDC (Every Day Carry) or Bug-Out with! Each radio includes an extra-capacity 2200 mAh Li-ion USB-C rechargeable battery (provides 22+ hours of operation between charges with battery-saver mode; thinner 2000 mAh and extended-capacity 3200 mAh battery packs are available separately), 2-4 hour desk charger, a flexible, removable multi-band 8″ high-gain & compact 4″ HAM-Tuned SMA-Male rubber duck antennas included for multiple operating situations, a sturdy belt clip with metal screws and threads, a wrist strap, an English manual (also downloadable as a PDF on this page).

Backed with an impressive manufacturer 1 year limited warranty (on radio, 6 months on battery, charger and accessories), the Wouxun KG-UV9D (Plus)+ is the Ham radio you always wanted!
Note: Transmitting on the ARS (Amateur Radio Service) requires a test & license (currently $35 for 10 years and typically takes only a few days to obtain your HAM license from the FCC). The Wouxun KG-UV9P is not “type-accepted” for use on other bands such as GMRS, FRS, MURS, MMS, LMR, etc. See the KG-UV9G PRO, new upgraded KG-UV9GX, or KG-916 GMRS for legal GMRS operation. The original KG-UV9P & this new upgraded UV9D++ can be unlocked (by authorized users) for MARS/CAP & exempt GOV uses via software on the web or with CHIRP-next. Contact me and ask for more information.
