Worth the Money!

Tracey Holleman on Nov 16,2018

Very reliable and good for warehouse in environment.

Great tool in a small package

Merry Hudes on Nov 16,2018

I bought 10 of these for our office. They were very easy to program and deploy, and are a hit with everyone using them. Definitely getting some more. Battery life is good, and the clarity is impressive

Good in every regard.

Easy to use. Small, simple and durable. Not long range, but good at ~100 yards. Shared on an extended family adventure and worked well.

Excellent Value!

Bill Leaming on Oct 24,2018

Whether for the serious professional or amateur, these radios are without question an outstanding value. The reason why I used the adjective "serious" is because unless they are re-programmed with legal frequencies, the sixteen pre-programmed frequencies are useless in the United States. The programming cable is not supplied, so must be sourced separately. Fortunately, any FDTI USB cable to "Kenwood dual plug" will work, such as the one for the RT5R and its assorted clone cousins. The simple programming software is likewise freely available with a bit of Google-Fu. PROS: 1. Small form-factor makes it a very comfortable 'shirt-pocket' unit, and fits well in the hand. 2. Clean emissions on transmit with both 2nd and 3rd order harmonics >65db down. 3. Excellent receive sensitivity with clear and crisp audio and plenty of volume. 4. Li-ion battery when fully charged provides >18 hours of continuous use even when tuned to a very busy frequency, such as the Chicago PD's south-eastern district dispatch channel. 5. Units are solidly engineered with great attention to detail, and the injection-molded case has no 'sharp corners' at all. 6. With no front-panel programming ability, they are excellent and very inexpensive HTs that may be safely provided to non-technical people who only need to know how to turn them on, set the volume and press the PTT button to talk. CONS: 1. The "manual" is essentially useless, providing only a very brief illustrated overview of the controls with no mention of the need to re-program with legal frequencies, nor of any license requirements for use. 2. No base charger is included in this package, although the included wall-wart's mini-USB connector will plug directly into the radio's charging port. SUMMARY: This pair of shirt-pocket sized radios provide an excellent value for use with SAR, CERT, and RACES teams, groups of GMRS operators, or amateur radio licensees.

Nearly a 5-Star

Stoneadventures on Oct 24,2018

I have purchased these from several sellers and despite the fact that they have different names on the radios, they all work well. They are a well built pocket size programmable radio. I would have given them a 5 star rating but unlike my other purchases, these did not come with a charging cradle (charges by a USB cable). My only warning is that they only seem to program with Windows 7 and these did not come with a charging cable or software. The WLN brand cable and software works well, but only in windows 7

The radios are well built and I particularly like the USB charging

While these radios where gifts, after I programed them and did radio checks, they seem to work very well for their size. The radios are well built and I particularly like the USB charging.

GOOD

DAVIS on Oct 19,2018

This 20 unit pack was purchased for use in the warehouse where I work. 130,000 sf of space for tire wholesale distribution. We are wall to wall and floor to ceiling with inventory at all times and these radios have worked great for us. We have used a different model in the past that did not perform the way these radios have. Very good product for our needs and I will purchase again as needed!

Will buy more!

Jeff C. on Oct 19,2018

We ordered these radios for one of our customers and were very happy with quality of the product. Easy to use and seems to be well built for everyday use. They are being used inside of a facility and the coverage is great from different levels and areas.

Pretty nice little walkie

NONE on Oct 19,2018

The product is really useful and easy to use. Using the cable you can program on chirp program as well. I wish they would provide charging bases and that the belt clips didn’t break as quickly, however, for the price, these are top notch.

Retevis RT22 UHF HT's

Doc RD on Oct 16,2018

Received these today in a most timely manner. Initially impressed with these RT22's straight out of the box. Will update as I use them in the upcoming days, but wanted to get a 'first impression' report out. In the USA, you will need to reprogram these to FCC approved frequencies - either what you are licensed for, or for FRS/GMRS use. Note that GMRS does require FCC licensing. Also note, if choosing FRS frequencies, there is a 2017 FCC Rules change (FCC-17-56A1) with new power out rules for FRS frequencies and FRS shared GMRS frequencies (increases to 2w out, however some frequencies are still power limited to 0.5w for all users; GMRS still has the 5w handheld, 50w mobile/base limits) .. Programming with CHIRP (free download for Windows and Mac, search for it using your favorite search engine) using the optional cable was straightforward. Check the Retevis site resources for current USB drivers. All in all, a good package. Units feel good in the hand, solid, and hopefully will have great utility around town and out on the trail.
