**CORRECTION: In the video I said this radio can receive all the way up to 854Mhz - this was taken from the Amazon specs the day the radio was released. This was apparently a error which they have since corrected - The MANUAL says it can only scan up to 480Mhz I review the new UV-9G GMRS handheld HT radio from Baofeng. I go over the features, usability, and issues (yah, it has some issues). I do a power-output test, range test AND, find out if the UV9G is really waterproof. and in case you were wondering, yes, this radio IS better than any UV-5R ! NOTE: Sharp-eyed viewers will notice that when the UV-9G went in the water, the flashlight was on, but at the end, it was off. This is because I cut the camera several times while the radio was in the water and had to pull it out/move/re-adjust it a few times - while doing all that I inadvertently turned-off the flashlight.

I explain what privacy tones and sub-channels on your GMRS or FRS walkie-talkie are, and why these tones and subchannels are NOT encrypted, not secure and cannot be used for secure radio transmission. Whether you use GMRS to talk to your friends off-road, hiking, etc, or for SHTF emergency radio communications you should understand that these "privacy tones' do not encrypt or secure your transmissions in any way. Most GMRS and FRS radios and even HAM radios like the Baofeng UV-5R can use these privacy tones aka CTCSS and DCS tones, but you should know what they are and that they do not provide any kind of radio or GMRS encryption or security before you use them in a private conversation - because, they are not private! --Want to help support my channel?
