The key selling point is the single power source. Most average consumers carry charging tools for their phone, and don't want to manage another device like a radio.
I personally prefer standalone handy-talkies, but powering them is still a pain. I wish a company would redesign the baofeng to run off of 18650 cells
- rtkwe 2y agoThe UV-9R Pro takes batteries that have a USB-C charging port on the back. I have a couple I setup as my disaster radios because of that and them being water proof(ish, better than other models at least). Programmed them with the local repeaters, weather channel, and the 2m and 70cm simplex calling frequencies plus whatever the default channel setup was.
- tonymet 2y agoi have a couple usb-c and though they are better than the previous baofeng, they still don't scale very well, and the battery cells now cost more and are less reliable. I just want something that takes battery cells.
