I grabbed one of these. Stuff in the box is a good starter kit, but... Supplied programming cable didn't work, my other cables did. In CHIRP, I used a UV-5R profile and it uploaded without error. Batteries (2) are unique to the model, not compatible with UV-5R. Speaker mic and earpiece are okay. Comes with a long antenna, glue on the bottom shield broke free when tightened down. Rubber ducky is normal. Haven't gotten it on a meter, but it isn't as clean as other Baofengs at peak, seemed okay at M and L power. Cleaner with several Nagoyas. Unknown what it's actually pushing, I perceive lower than advertised. Base nut on the antenna stud loosened and spun off each antenna removal. Overall, pretty "meh", better to stick with a UV-5R or a BF-F8HP and a decent antenna, those models also share accessories. I'll keep the UV-S9 and use it mostly as a monitor.
