As far as features go, it matches up to commercial radio broadcasting software like SAM Broadcaster. It has a seamless Auto DJ that cross-fades songs nicely with no extra settings. Adding sweepers or voice tracks to songs is one of the simplest things to do in Radio DJ.
It's an advanced radio automation and playout system for internet broadcasters. It's full of features, easy to install, and quick to learn, but with tutorials of course. Customers have also lauded its stability, programmability, and versatility.

The Wouxun KG-UV9G is a firmware-modified & GMRS-calibrated version of the revered and trusted Wouxun KG-UV9P & Wouxun KG-UV9D Plus amateur radios, co-designed by Mark Lindsey (K6LED/WQXR567) and sold exclusively by BetterSafeRadio. The Wouxun 9-Series radios known for their quality double-conversion superheterodyne receivers, performance & pro features, while remaining easy to use, even for beginners. The new 9G GMRS is functionally similar, with a few modified features that are restricted, prohibited or unwanted on the GMRS band, such as the cross-band repeater, power levels, modulation bandwidth, roger beep, and SOS & siren alarms.
With up to 5.5 Watts of power (on UHF) and a talk-around range of 2 to 7+ miles (much more when used with a GMRS repeater or at optimal elevations with minimal line-of-sight obstructions), the KG-UV9G provides reliable recreational or emergency radio communications for personal disaster preparedness, family outings, scouting, prepping, survival, camping, off-roading, trekking, business operations, Neighborhood Watch, REACT, CERT, Guardian Angels & EARS groups to keep in touch when other methods of communication break down. IP55 rated and Part 95E & 15B FCC Certified. The UV9G is custom power calibrated for GMRS simplex & repeater use (at a 465 MHz center) and transmits on all 30 GMRS frequencies with the proper legal power and modulation bandwidth.
The KG-UV9G operating range is as good or better than any other affordable Commercial/Ham or GMRS radio, even with its included high-gain stock flexible antenna, which is better than most radios in this price range (and above). As well, with an after-market high-gain duck, whip, telescoping, roll-up, 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-UV9G PRO GMRS with a repeater will greatly extend your potential operating range, even as far as 100+ miles.
The radio customer programming software available here as a free download is provided by the manufacturer as a courtesy and is not guaranteed to be compatible with every possible computer system, available in the future, or updated in the future. While nearly everyone has success operating the software, sometimes after several free BSR support sessions, the software does not constitute part of a radio product and the inability to successfully operate the software does not constitute a DOA, incomplete, or dysfunctional radio product.
IMPORTANT: By downloading and using the radio customer programing software, you agree to be solely responsible for operating your radios in compliance with FCC licensing and regulations. BSR and Wouxun are not responsible for any harm caused by the use or misuse of the software to or by your radios. Let me know if you have any questions before purchasing.
I purchased the backordered KG-UV9G June 2 and received the radio on July 16th. BetterSafeRadio updates a message on their home page stating what order number range they are working, this a nice touch. A month after I ordered the radio I ordered an extra battery and asked them to combine the two orders in one box, which they did.
The radio is a great size and easy to carry. One of the selling points besides all of the programming was the level of water and dust resistance. The screen is easy to read and has a good backlight. I was able to use the Wouxun programming software to add some repeater channels to the radio. I removed a few of the preprogrammed channels and added all of my local LEO, Fire, and Public Works frequencies for SHTF.
Speaking of SHTF, I have been asked by a couple of people about the need for some of the channels that come preprogrammed on the Pro model. Some of the channels may seem overkill, but last year we went through our states largest wildfire on record. We were forced to evacuate and leave our house and property for almost a week. Information we got from TV and radio was usually very general in nature and almost always 4-6 hours old (days old on the FM radio). I had a scanner programmed with LEO, Fire, Public Works, Air, and others. I was able to keep up with where the road blocks were being set up (LEO and Public Works), I could listen to the Fire Air command spotter plane directing water/retardant drops and directing ground crews, ground crews giving up to the minute updates to their command center and the utility company talking about power outages due to damaged equipment and proactive outages. We were among the lucky people who were able to return to an intact, undamaged home. Being able to listen to what was going on was a great help. SHTF can cover many different scenarios. This radio will be a great tool to have in your kit. Great radio, great company to deal with.
This radio is awesome and I feel the best GMRS handheld radio on the market. I have tested it quite a bit on repeaters and simplex and by far its receive superheterodyne capability is unmatched to other radios. The transmit side has easily exceeded 25 miles in flat urban terrain with buildings in downtown Denver. See this video on my youtube channel for proof:
All in all this radio is actually 6 stars if they had it and BetterSafeRadio has gone out of their way to ensure my satisfaction and Mark (K6LED/WQXR567) has been excellent with responses to my questions about the radio before I even purchased it.
I love this thing! I really like this radio. I did have an issue with the programming software (64-bit). Long story short, my 64-bit Windows 10 has to use the 32-bit programming software. I did not discover this on my own. I dropped a message to BSR via their Contact link and 15 minutes later, I say (type) again, 15 minutes later Mark sent me an e-mail explaining about some folks with Win10 have to use the 32-bit version. 15 dang minutes! Unbelievable!! I was expecting a two day return time.
I ordered the radio and misc. items at the end of October and at that time I knew it was looking like 4 weeks before I would receive it. It took a little closer to 5, but the holiday was in there so no problem.
I cannot say enough about Mark and his great help with my problem. He is quick with emails and the right options for any problem. It is very evident to me, that he truly stands behind what he sells and will be there for any customer with problems, questions or other needs for their radio experience.
For those of you who like to use wired headphones, there's even a headphone jack! This is increasingly rare on new phones and will be a refreshing change for some buyers. That said, if you're looking to go wireless, do take a look at our best wireless earbuds page.

In our tests, we found that the WR-11SE tended to flicker on FM channels, and we had a harder time locking on to a channel compared with the experience on some of the other radios we tested, even with the green LED signaling when the radio had found one. We were testing a refurbished unit, though, so this could just be an issue for the particular device we tested.
The SB2000 is more portable than some of our other picks. It has a handle at the top and a small telescoping antenna attached, and you can use either battery power or the built-in power cord, which tucks into the battery case. We especially like the variety of bright colors that Studebaker offers: The SB2000 comes in black, teal, and red, and the similar SB2002 comes in the same colors plus pink, so either radio is a fun choice for kids or for anyone who loves color.

When we originally conducted research for this guide in 2017, we surveyed potential tabletop radio buyers from around the country and asked why they wanted one and which features were most important. We also asked current owners about how they used their radios and what sorts of features they would look for, should their current radio meet an untimely end. By a large margin, most people surveyed reported a desire for a simple radio that they could tune to their favorite local public radio station and then leave set there in perpetuity. We expect that this core desire has remained unchanged. 2ff7e9595c
