Optimal (longest range of communication in good or bad weather) frequency for climbing in high mountains /in case when there is no radio frequency regulation.

Does anyone have any insight on this? Communication will be required between two teams positioned in different camps or to communicate with the base camp.

Is this the optimal frequency for the antenna and therefore provides the best range?

What will be antenna suggestions? Will Diamond rh 701/ nagoya na 771 be good enough in Baofeng UV 9R PLUS ?

I would appreciate any insight and suggestions. Thanks.

Authenticity of Baofeng uv 9r plus model

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a pair of Baofeng uv 9r plus radios Before purchasing I made multiple queries to 3 different sellers.To my surprise they showed me the same radio model (photo attached) which was visibly different than what was posted in website or in any of the youtube review videos/ baofeng official sites. I was told by the sellers that it was the updated model of uv 9r plus and only uv9r plus available to them. So I purchased.

The significant differences are-

  1. It comes with a usb c compatible battery(No ' BL 9' mentioned on battery).

  2. It comes with Kenwood style 2 holes/pin programming cable compatibility. Not screw in waterproof Motorola type programming cable ( as common in most of the uv 9r radios) option. Which should not be the case assuming it's a waterproof radio( even a update uv 9r Plus).

  3. There is no orange button on top and side guard to prevent accident switch on.

Have anyone of you come across this model?

What's ur opinion on this? Is it really upgraded uv 9r plus or I have been scammed?

Thanks
