Most people today take our modern communications system for granted and don’t realize that during a major “Act of God” like a natural disaster, civil unrest or the loss of the rule of law, which some refer to as a SHTF event (when the $hit Hits The Fan), or even what some speculate is a very real possibility in the modern age of warfare, an EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) blast, these systems that we’ve come to rely on such as your cell/mobile phone, your home telephone and the Internet may become unreliable, or even completely inoperable. In fact, it wouldn’t even take a major disaster to disrupt your ability to get help – it could be something as simple as the power going out due to excessive heat or a strong solar flare, which has happened in the past, and that’s when you need an EmComm (Emergency Communications) solution.

When the SHTF, BetterSafeRadio than Sorry!

Fast shipping

Fast shipping! Nothing is worse than placing an order, paying your money, then waiting for the retailer to pack and ship. BSR, got my LARGE order out first business day after I ordered over the weekend.

This is a top-notch company that excels in customer service. Very honest and kept me up to date while my order was backordered due to high demand. I was provided several options if I was in a hurry etc., but I opted to wait and was happy I did. We will continue to use BetterSafeRadio and refer our customers to them.

Better Safe Radio Excellent Choice

Just passed my technician exam and after hours of looking at different hand held radios my choice was the Wouxun KG-UV9PX. That lead me to Better Safe Radio for my purchase. Had absolutely no issues and would recommend Better Safe Radio to anyone who is looking to get into Ham radio. Pre programmed is a nice touch for the price and greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work and long live Ham radio.

A video review with recommendations of both "BetterSafeRadio.com"and the Wouxon KG-UV9GX GMRS/Scanner radio by Randy Cafe (NOTARUBICON), prompted me to purchase this radio from this dealer (Mark Lindsey). The radio and 2 support accessories were promptly shipped and arrived on time without damage. Mark also followed up with additional information. Highly recommend this dealer and radio. Thanks Randy!
