Quick Answer: Baofeng UV-9R Pro handheld two-way radio. Used once, no damage or scratches. Includes original battery and antenna, charges via USB-C. No external mic or extras.
The comms half of a serious loadout, barely touched. This Baofeng UV-9R Pro has been used exactly once — no damage, no scratches, nothing rattling. It’s the rugged, weather-sealed version of the radio that’s become the default handheld for milsim players who’ve outgrown shouting across the field.
Charges over USB-C — the small thing that quietly matters, because it means the same cable as your phone keeps it topped up, no proprietary cradle to lose. Comes with the original battery and antenna. That’s the lot: no external mic, no extras, just a clean radio ready to program and run.

🟣 The cheapest upgrade isn’t more power — it’s the antenna
Every new Baofeng owner’s first instinct is to chase watts for more range. But the stock stubby antenna is the single biggest thing holding these radios back — and it’s the easiest to fix. A longer aftermarket whip like a Nagoya 771 will do more for your real-world range than any power setting ever will, often turning a patchy across-the-field signal into clear comms with room to spare. It’s a sub-$25 swap and the most worthwhile thing you’ll do to one of these.
So if the range feels short out of the box, the radio isn’t the problem. Run the included antenna to learn it, then upgrade the whip when you want that extra reach for milsim — you’ll be amazed how much a $20 part changes the same handheld.

Frequently asked questions
What is included with the radio?
The UV-9R Pro radio, its original battery and its original antenna, charging over USB-C. There is no external mic or other extras — a clean radio ready to program and run. The photos form part of the description.
Do I need a licence to use a Baofeng in Australia?
This is the honest bit. A radio like this can transmit on amateur (HAM) frequencies, and transmitting on those bands legally requires an amateur licence in Australia. Plenty of milsim players run them, but you are responsible for using it lawfully — if you are unlicensed, keep to licence-free channels with a compliant radio. Worth knowing before you buy.
The range feels short — how do I fix it?
Range depends far more on the antenna than on power. The stock stubby antenna is the limiter; a longer aftermarket whip like a Nagoya 771 does more for real-world range than any power setting, and it is a sub-$25 swap. Run the included antenna to learn it, then upgrade when you want more reach.
What condition is it in?
Used exactly once, with no damage, scratches or wear — about as close to new as a used item gets. Payment runs through RedSpear, not person-to-person, so you are protected.
Can this be shipped?
Yes. It is small and light, so it ships easily within Queensland to buyers aged 18 and over, with payment handled through RedSpear.
