The Baofeng UV-9R Plus is a water-resistant solution for a ham radio without breaking the bank. Baofeng is a great Chinese alternative to the bigger brands. Their main product is the Baofeng UV-5R model (but this one is NOT water-resistant). If shopping on Amazon, make sure to buy from the MIRKIT vendor, as there are not as trusted other Chinese sellers on Amazon.
Watch the videos below to see tests for both radios.

The ARRL Repeater Directory is a perfect addition to any emergency go-kit. This allows you to transmit/receive transmissions at extremely far distances, in some cases, nearly across the entire country. Refer to it whenever you’re on the move or want to find local activity. It’s the world’s largest printed directory of repeater systems. It includes “crowdsourced” listings contributed by users, repeater owners, and volunteer frequency coordinators.
28,000 listings for US and Canada, organized by state/province, city, and operating mode. Digital repeaters including FUSION, D-STAR, DMR, NXDN, and P25 systems. HF, VHF/UHF, and microwave band plans included.
