Didn’t you hear Jim KC9HI – He told us to shut up about the Baofeng’s.

I’m guessing that he’s a moderator of sorts so it might be a good idea to pay attention to him.

I had a two page response with comparison pictures of the F8/F9 written that I didn’t hit send on out of respect for his authority - after I get his reminder that this is NOT a Baofeng listserv.

 And...................Chirp didn't help with the F9 that I had.  Maybe was a bad rig.

Chirp came up and "programmed" the F9 but couldn't get the repeaters to work.

Others may have a different experience.

Works fine with the F8HP I got and easily programmed it with Chirp. Cost was $6.00

more than the F9.    Now if Chirp could work with an Alinco DJ-296 that

would be peachy keen for me. The DJ-596 is A-OK but not the 296.  Kurt KC9LDH
