    What I said awhile back is, the front camera allows you to say, "Oh shit"!

    Ya know, you could put a downward facing front cam on said ring. That would be way cool.

    I was going to make a joke about Brown Sugar being my stage name........ doesn't induce the same aura as something like Jackhammer and such.....

    But yes to front cameras and Baofengs.


    It might be an uninformed opinion, but I see Baofengs as the Androids of the radio world (which is good!). They have tons of options to mess with but quality isn't the greatest thus the cheaper price.

    Other kits seems to be made as easy as possible to use but lack any access to tweak stuff like Apple.

    Your Wouxuns and Radiodittys seem to ride the fine line between both since they offer the best of both worlds.

    Do you know what this USB cable is for? There is no info in the Baofeng UV 9G owners manual and I cannot find anything about on the net. I am guessing it's a charging cable?

    Used for re-programming it. You can do stuff like change what it says on the screen when you first turn it on.

    Anything you want......For you I can definitely see it saying "Fuggers":rofl:

    That cable is for programming security channels and repeater channels. (I'm too slow)

    It’s a programming cable so you can do all your config from the computer instead of the unit itself.

    chirp is the app most people use

    I was hoping it was a charger. Would make charging on the trail a bit more convenient. I currently use an AC/DC converter to plug in the charger.
