Great sale and products. Removed a star because there was a long wait time to ship products and then for the owner to work through getting everything shipped once the product arrived. Nothing wrong... See more

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.

Very responsive customer service
I ordered a radio on June 3, I sent a follow up message on June 9 asking for an update and I got an update within a few hours that evening.
Mark clearly takes customer support seriously and is very responsive.

Wouxun KG 916 and 916 plus
I ordered t
Two 916’s last April.
Had problems getting repeater channels working.
The repeater is 18 miles away.
I live on top of ridge, have no problem hitting it with Midland Mxt 275 Mobile/base unit.
The 916’s do not pick up repeater.
Friend of mine brought over his Rocky Talkie 5 watt
GMRS HT they hit the repeater from inside my house as well as outside with no problem, sound loud and clear.I sold the two 916’s to a couple I know, they use them at the rv park and camping.
I ordered two 916 + thinking they would work since everything I read said they were upgraded to 5 watt.
Not the case, no better than the other 916’s.
Disappointed. Will be returning these two before 27 June. Thirty day return period.
I have no complaints with Mark and his customer service, he does a good job.
Wouxun is a great product, wish the 916’s would have worked for me.

Thanks Sam and sorry the 916+ radios didn't work out for you. It sounded like you were confused about the difference between simplex and repeater operation based on some of the your email message - I was trying to help you out but then never heard back from you.
I can assure you that the 916+ is every bit as powerful and potent as a RockyTalkie, so I suspect you just didn't have them setup properly.
I don't have an RMA for you, but I suspect you will contact me soon for one and I'll be happy to set that up for you.
Cheers and thanks.

WOUXUN UV9GX+ and some…
Just recieved my WOUXUN UV9GX+ and some other accessories I ordered. Only took a week.
According to NotARubicon this makes me a radio dork. I'm okay with that. This is superior to my WOUXUN UV9G PRO best part was that I could copy (ctrl c) and paste (ctrl v) right into the code plug to add my local repeaters to the updated codes.
Well worth the purchase. Next I'd like to get a Yagi antenna and an RF finder to do some fox hunting.

Packaged as he would want it to be shipped to him.
The radio and gear was packaged extremely well so it arrived safe. You can tell Mark takes pride in his business. I will definitely order from, better safe radios again. Prices were very reasonable, the included programming was a nice touch.

Happy Customer !
Mark Lindsey did great at getting my order out but it was USPS that dropped the ball. The package made it to my town but then got misplaced or it ended up on another truck going somewhere else but it's all good. It showed up a couple days later. I'm still happy with my purchase and of course I will be buying more from BSR ! 🙂
