This ham radio can be very easily unlocked making it perfect for SHTF or emergency prepper use for the upcoming civil war, World War III, regular boring civil-conflict and collapse of society, and even all those hurricanes from the Global Warming. The KG-UV9PX amateur radio hand-held can transmit over 8 watts and it comes pre-programmed with over 800 SHTF, prepper, U.S.Goverment agency, and other frequencies, making it an excellent choice for preppers.

Two very important things come to mind when I watch this video.
1. As always, great and entertaining video Randy.
2. Mark the owner of Better Safe Radio is a stand up guy and I hope you all give him your business. Quality products and great service!
YES Mark is GREAT for sure!!!!
Thanks, I really appreciate that! Now I can see why you're Randy's favorite viewer also. ;)
@@bettersaferadioHey! Randy said that I was his favorite viewer😢
I’m glad there is a channel like this that doesn’t play into the FCC Brown Shirts marching orders.
I got mine from BSR. Worth the money for the programming. Its cloneable.
Awesome video per usual Randy! One minor correction that I'm sure will make everyone happy... you CAN actually modify the custom display message and custom sub-band message in CHIRP, it's just that those fields are buried a bit. You can find both next to each other near the bottom of the Settings > Configuration > Admin Functions tabs, thanks to Mel the programmer who created this CHIRP UV9PX driver. :)
My pleasure Mark!
I have a few uv5-r's just in case. I watched one of your videos and I am hooked. I don't even really care about most radios. But your videos are so good and fun.
I want to change my ham call sign to UV5R and wallow in the bathtub with spurious emissions, Mom's meat loaf and a triple roger beep while being corrected by the authoritarian gate keepers. Great Video!!
As a happy ham, I always look forward to Randy’s non-woke brand of American sarcasm. Keep up the great work you do and have a good weekend.
Ditto
Same here!!
wankers
I like his style! (I'm a happy ham.)
Yup!!
Some People will be griping about this video all week. Mose People will appreciate the time spent on this video and the info provided. Thanks Randy
If you get the Smiley tri-band antenna, it is adjustable and will work on 2m, 220 and 440 Ham bands as well as the GMRS channels.
Will this UV9PX transmit on 220? (after chirp enabled?)
Thanks for the tip, was looking for a triband ht antenna!
So during the last week I’ve gone down the ham rabbit hole and out of all the videos I’ve encountered, yours have been the best. There’s always something you say in each one I watch that cracks me up, definitely subscribed
I have this radio and love it. It’s rugged, and I love all the SHTF channels, and the APO to save the battery so it doesn’t come on accidentally in a pack and drain the battery to zero.
Great reception and clear sound.
About time we get blessed by your presence.
Thanks! Got mine ordered from them (back ordered but should ship in next two-three weeks). I appreciate the educational content, and the humor.
I have a ham license but still recommend people have a radio similar to this in the event of an emergency. Keep up the good work Randy!
I came for your comedy show. It was an amazing performance as usual. I even felt more educated than ever on another radio I still cannot pronounce. Thank you.
So good to see you back on the YT! We were going though notarubicon withdrawal!
In case you haven't checked out the latest $15 quansheng UV-K5(8) radio, with the egzumer fimware it will receive between 15mhz up to 1300mhz including USB CB, AM airband, VHF, marine, VHF 220mhz, AM 250-400 mil bands etc, 5.5w with this firmware and even has a spectrum analyzer and usb-c charging port 👍
Love Better Safe Radio! Great products and superb service - thank you Mark!
This is the video I've been waiting for. Thank you! I appreciate your perspective.
I'm so “happy to hear a man who knows how to deliver a straight forward video”👌 Love your presentation👈👌😊
Beautiful radio…I’ve wanted one for a while now.
I have the GMRS version of this radio, KG-UV9GX, and absolutely love it!👍
I have to agree. I've been using mine frequently for about a year and it works really well. Zero complaints.

Thank you for throwing up the map of my great state on the screen 👍
Randy, youre the man! As a new to radio larper ive learned a great amount from you and subsequently spent alot of money on radios i can barely use. Using your links of course. Not as much as i do on firearms, but close!
Better safe radio is a solid business. He works with you to get you what you want. Good guy.
Thanks Nick!
I've owned this HT for about a year. Well worth the coin. Most impressive is the receive sensitivity.
Thanks for showing how to plug in the charger into the power cord. Very informative!
Best radio show on YT!
Nothing else compares.
Love the UV9P series of radios.
KG-UV9PX is a good radio, I've been running a couple since the end days of the Delta7 net.
Randy, always a welcome and expressionless Jedi Master of sarcasm. You’ve gotten me to get my GMRS license and 3 different “Boof-wang” HTs to learn myself up on. Thanks for the endless, relevant and spicy content!
You always crack me up.
Thanks for the Texas shoutout in the background. Keep up the good work.
You're killin me! Love the videos and information. Subscribed. I'm still laughing about the policing the arrows on the floor of the grocery store comment. LOL
Another no BS straight up review. Thank you
I have the UV9P (no X) and I love it. Definitely unlocked it, that was the first thing I did. Just now diving back into the subject. Got my GMRS license a few weeks ago and I’m taking the HAM technician test in 2 days. Gonna get a signal stick to go on it and take it with me to the Grand Canyon in May.
Just ordered mine today, can’t wait!
Liked and subscribed without desperation
Well done. Not many would review a black object and accessories in front of a dark back drop.
Another great video. Thanks Randy. I have a KG-UV9P (not X) and it is an excellent radio.
Let’s check in on Not-AI-Rubicon, and see what his feelings are on the KG-UV9PX:
“Feelings? My feelings are irrelevant. But let's talk about the Wouxun KG-UV9PX. It's a dual-band handheld radio, and compared to its predecessors, it's got a few new tricks up its sleeve. Things like dark color screen modes for covert operations, a quick-jump feature to your favorite emergency channel, and an extended receive range on the 1.25m band. Plus, it's got a brighter flashlight, stiffer knobs to avoid accidental changes, and it can be reset to a standard HAM configuration with 29 channels.
So, in essence, the KG-UV9PX is like the Swiss Army Knife of radios. It's feature-rich and durable, which makes it a good choice for ham operators who want a bit more than just a simple push-to-talk experience. However, remember that with great power comes great responsibility, and also a thicker manual. So what I am really saying is, if you're into HAM radios and need a versatile, rugged device, the KG-UV9PX is a solid choice. But don't come crying to me if you can't figure out all its features; I'm busy enough swinging my Boofwhang UV-5R by its antenna. ..... 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸... ⬇️ 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄....”
I need one of these. ❤.
Thanks Randy.
i got my self an KG-UV9K its been really good for me
I'll bet you would love to have the Scan Advance feature though, yeah? ;)
Gracias Randolfo.
I watch and laugh imagining how mad "some people" can get on you. Very entertaining and informative.
Great video!
I have a similar older model of the same radio, and it drains the battery after a few few weeks -- even when not in use.
Anyone intending to use this radio for emergencies, please add a piece of plastic between the battery and the body of the radio so the contacts don't touch. It will prevent your battery from being completely drained whenever you want to use it.
Or just store the battery off of the radio, which is a good practice for all radios, as any rechargeable battery could potentially leak or swell or worse (rare, but it can happen), which would not be good for the radio. :)
Best show to date!
So many easter eggs. Thank you for introducing me to Mr. Poon.
I'm a ham and bought 2m/70cm HTs for my family members in the area and programmed them with simplex frequencies that ill monitor if SHTF. I told them if they have a need to use this its because something has gone sideways in the world and the last thing they need to worry about is getting busted by the FCC. If they have a need for it, it's an emergency so use it.
Brilliant, Thanks for the great information.
G’damn this channel is a fook’n gem fjb
I just noticed the call sign KMG365 - Roy and Johnny would have loved this radio!
Randy you are a American Treasure!!! Your intro was priceless 😂😂😂
I'm confused, isn't gmrs freqs in the UHF and would thus be fine using the dual band antenna? Sorry for the dumb question but I'm a recovering sad ham and thus now leaning more about gmrs.
The stock antenna on the PX is tuned for the Ham bands, so while it is widely tuned and can be used on GMRS, it's not optimal. You would be better off getting a GMRS-tunes antenna, like the Smiley 5/8 Slim Duck or SuperStick mentioned in the video (at BSR), for the best fars on GMRS, for emergency use only, of course.
Who cares if your not a ham the info you put out is great.
Hams care. They all care deeply. I wonder how they even know, being so far up their own ass
Love your posting
Nice review, THANKS ❤!
thanks,i will now get one,outstanding video
Being in Georgia. I shop at either WeBee Radios or Mo-Betta Raid-Eo, in the metros Atlanta ghettocide district. There prices are always a steal! 😅
I always sent your video to my Ham radio club, because too many sad hams. 😂
That's how you find out who can't deal with sarcasm and dry humor.
You have me rolling man!!🤣 im gonna go by a ham radio just to push the button 😳
I love your “license”
Back in the day when I got my Quansheng Tg-UV 2 I found that the radio could be unlocked to Transmit on any frequency that is receivable including the FM broadcast band.
I pealed the protective cover off my new Fluke Multi-Meter yesterday in the presence of my buddy....I heard the music playing, but the dude next to me had no idea what was happening.....it was an inward, intimate moment....and no one was the wiser.
Cemen-eters...! You got me on that one. Nice.
Randy, have you patented that technique for making the display work better in bright sunlight? Genius!!!
Would like to see the rundown of the KG-Q10h . Great video ty
Nice receiver - sweet!
Liked this video before the 30 second mark.
Great channel... Thank You
Thank you!!
you really enjoy this....
First off, I love the T shirt! It is the kind an engineer loves!
I wanted to talk about another class of users. I volunteer at two railroad museums. We use radios to ensure safety and to facilitate control. While our organizations are licensed, our individual users are typically not ham operators. They follow the rules of the organization. One group, on VHF in the railroad frequencies, has rules that are quite compliant. The dispatcher controls communications and ever communication is ended by the dispatcher using our call sign. The other group, on a UHF business frequency, is like the Wild West!
Our users like to own their own radios to control accessories and battery life. And we don’t wish to spend $50 to have someone program 2 frequencies for us.
So these “non-ham” radios with decent quality audio are important to us. Sure, a Buofeng cheapo has an interesting value proposition but we are willing to invest in better quality.
Keep up the good reviews. And yes, we are working to tighten up the Wild West radio useage though they are not all that bad and there is not any useless chatter on the air.
To boot, the UV9PX comes pre-programmed with over 130 AAR channels and the dual-receivers work great for your purpose. :)
Most excellent radio, just remember to backup the out of the box configuration right away, because a factory reset will undo all Mark's GREAT programming.
And the KG-UV980P makes an excellent mobile companion radio for this one.
Jest say'in
@dannydivine7699 Is it possible to unlock the KG-UV980P mobile radio for GMRS frequencies or add in Chirp? I haven’t found if this is possible.
@@eem3iii Yes, with the UV950P freq lock tool found on the web, but maybe also CHIRP now.
Love this!
Love the Station 51 (Emergency) call letters on the radio screen.
Great video! Ordered a super-stick for your affiliate monies💸
Ofc uploaded when my kg935g+ (not a sexuality) came in. I already like this thing way more than my first gmrs radio. I already have a ft60 to tinker on ham bands (a boofwang too ofc), but I may have to snag one of these 👀 later on.
Very nice suggestion! Love this radio!
nail on the head
Love the chewed up pencil😂
OMG! You did blink! I had to rewind and play at quarter speed to see it! That probably means we’re seeing the real Randy and not the AI this time. I’m another happy ham and giddy gmrs user, keep on keeping on!
I have my gmrs license and 3 "legal" gmrs radios, however I started buying only unlockable radios since in an emergency I want as many options as possible.
Randy, you are a 'national Treasure'. We love you, keep up the awesome work. regards from Blighty! 🇬🇧
I got 3 President Lincoln II+ radios. 6 Baofeng UV 5R Pros.
You have the best intros known to ham.
You just LOVE that antenna, don’t you? 😂
Always enjoy your stuff, buddy!
I Love My Wouxun KG-UV9PX KG-UV9GX they are Great radios Been impressed how Long the batteries last Even when using a ton from transmitting on high gotten well over 2 days worth with heavy transmitting great video as always Randy 3:00 @NotaRubicon Productions
First...Love the wall pic for this one! Second...love the Federal Concealed Cary (FCC) license allowing you to carry your radio in your pocket! Is that your antenna? or are you happy to see me?! LMAO!
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
I am a novice when it comes to GMRS and HAM and find your videos very insightful and empowering.
I have taken an initial step and received my GMRS license.
Regarding the unlock capabilities of the KG-UV9PX “HAM” radio that permits access to GMRS frequencies, is it possible for a GMRS licensed individual to transmit on all GMRS frequencies and use GMRS repeaters with the unlocked radio?
I must have this!!!!!
Oh my, you still got it Randy, still funny.😂😂😂 I have 2 previous versions of the uv-9 and they're my most used HTs. Now, how did you get yours b4 me? Been on the waiting list for weeks😢😢. Keep up the good work!
lol I was thinking the same thing because I’m on the waiting list too. Hopefully that means ours is going to ship soon.
Hope so, I ordered mine this morning...
Great video. 73
OMG that FCC non-license license under the box was priceless!
I still have the KG935G that you recommended a while back... decent radio but I never found any kind of unlock feature for it... so it was kind of a waste of money for what it is... the uv5r out does it imo.
I apologize if you've already been asked this question but for a SHTF situation and were only allowed to pick one GMRS radio which would it be. Thank you for your help and informative channel. Take care
I knew I was your favorite viewer. 😉
@TheNotaRubicon I've been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now and thoroughly enjoy the tongue in cheek humor. I'm sure "Those People" watch it for the same reason!
I have started a list of your t-shirts so I can have my wife make some for me. Do you have a place online to buy them?
BTW, I had to rewind to get a better look at your HAM license! For your information, I have started a go fund me in order to purchase a case of #2 pencils for you.....just in case you get hungry and need a little snack!
He provides a link in the description for the shirts
🤣 Do we need to start calling you Captain Kelly now? Nice station id.
