I love this handheld radio, and will be buying more for my family! Easy to see screen, and easy to navigate menu. Sound is very good. I like that it is so resilient, because I have a tendency to drop things!

I rarely give a product a five-star rating. However, this device deserves it. It's a solidly built radio that delivers what it's designed to do—reliable and unfailing communication. Its simple design delivers crisp, clear audio both in transmit mode and receiving mode. Mind you, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles like some of my GMRS portables have, but when it comes to performance and reliability, this radio beats them hands down.

After the firmware update, this radio is a Beast, the best cheap analog dual band, IP67 rugged beast on the market, also the oem mike rocks. Would love to colaborate with retevis to test products.

Very nice radios. I found after doing a bit of reading and understanding the radio it becomes very easy to program and use

They are cheaper and stronger than most GMRS radios that won't got passed 1.2 miles

Feels durable, strong and not cheap, like it will survive some beating from outdoor use. It’s not waterproof, but at this price point, it doesn’t matter.

This is one of the most sturdy well built easy-to-use radios on the market if you can't program this then you need to get off the air and out of gmrs and ham, the sister Radio HD1 is equal or better too long lasting battery's and drop proof and waterproof I tested it to 5 meters for 30 min still worked! Unbelievable highly recommended next to motorola this is my new go to ham and gmrs radio

Most cheap radios feel and look like toys, this ha1g feels and looks solid and rugged, like a radio you would see at a job site. Not quite a Motorola or Kenwood, but it feels fantastically heavy duty and feels like I expect a radio to feel that's 4-5x this price. Even though it's waterproof, the speaker sounds louder and clearer than any other radio I have. Receiver sensitivity sems very good and audio quality both ways is excellent. Comes programmed out of the box ready to use on GMRS. Mine came with the latest update firmware already. P.S. in an *emergency* you can lock the keypad and hit 123456 and it will then allow transmission on the HAM bands. Mine came with a programming cable also. For the money this is an unbelievable value.

I'm running several retevis radios and they are excellent radios especially for the cost and they are super easy to program

I've had mine two months now and have used it every single day. I leave one channel on law enforcement and the other on the GMRS I communicate with my wife on while I work (journalist). With the stock antenna we got about 5-6 miles of range in rural environment. After upgrading to a Nagoya we can get about 12 miles in rural environment - and we've tested this extensively. I only have to charge this radio at most once a week. It is extremely user friendly and programming manually on the radio is a breeze. I get others may not have had good experience but mines is perfection and I've put it to extensive use.

I was looking for a professional GMRS radio. The question is what makes a GMRS radio professional? I believe this radio checks all the boxes. It’s very sturdy, appears well made, has a professional Motorola look to it, simple concise menus, and an overall quality appearance and operation.

Great radios for the price. We are pretty impressed so far and would buy again. Battery life seems good, we do not live near big city and considered rural but reception is decent. With some different attenas we believe we could get better reception. We have looked at YouTube videos saying the same thing.

Works very good but stock antenna shows higher than wanted SWR 2.38:1. Nagoya 771 had 1.12:1. Power showing 5.04W on most channels on the high setting. Great features and all are programmable thru menu so don't really need the CPS software to use it.

I'm just gonna say that what I paid for this radio when it was on sale before Christmas, well I almost feel like I stole something. It without a doubt is the best GMRS HT on the market. Very well built and solid radios. To many features to list that a person wouldn't expect from a radio at this price. Easy to use heavy duty channel knob on top instead of a flash light that's one way a person can tell if a radio is pretty good is if it does not have a flashlight on the top. Will buy more I wont even wait for a sale again. The radios are so good I wouldn't hesitate buying another if the price went up to around $80.

The battery life on this radio is good and the range is good and can go about 8 miles. It is very easy to program with the menu options. You get what you paid for the product is very sturdy and durable. The communication is great on this radio. It is also very functional, your value for your money is great. I had this radio for about 2 months and it is still going strong. I would highly recommend this item. 10/10

While I am still fairly new to GMRS, I have been experimenting with various radios which is a lot easier when there are so many affordable options. The HA1G is currently my favorite. Right out of the box, I loved the general build quality and feel in the hand, it has a good solid feel. Then after turning it on, it also has what I feel is one of the cleanest and easy to use menu systems of similar radios in this price range.

The strong audio quality and loud speaker are definitely standout features, making communication clear and effective. The impressive battery life for both talk and standby time is a significant plus for users who rely on their devices throughout the day. Durability is also a huge factor for me, especially with the waterproof feature, which adds peace of mind for outdoor use. The comfortable feel in hand and the thoughtful design of the antenna and connector show that the manufacturer prioritized usability and practicality. Overall, it seems like the Ailunce HA1G is well-engineered to meet the needs of its users. It’s my new favorite GMRS radio.

I bought this for the programming cable to program a retevis radio. I figured for a few more dollars for a cable alone I could get another radio to play with. This thing is awesome. I like the fact it uses a sma male antenna. Loud speaker and clear sounding especially when you consider the it has a good water resistance rating. Not chirp compatible but used the free software from the company with no issue. Liked it so much I ordered a second one already.

Its simple design delivers crisp, clear audio both in transmit mode and receiving mode. Mind you, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles like some of my GMRS portables have, but when it comes to performance and reliability, this radio beats them hands down.

It’s very sturdy, appears well made, has a professional Motorola look to it, simple concise menus, and an overall quality appearance and operation. I haven’t used many features of this device yet, but simple GMRS operation is crystal clear. Privacy tones are simple to set up. I haven’t personally used it in the rain but have have seen many videos of it holding up in harsh conditions. I’ll be using it in very cold weather doing snow removal and in other various wet weather conditions. So far so good; going to be THE GMRS handheld for my family. I have plenty of GMRS Baofeng and they just don’t compare.

Got the radio fast. Set up was easy enough and ready to go. Build quality is really good. My radio came with the programming cable even though I could find nowhere in the discription that say it's included. Great deal there. One problem I have and my return because of is the sticker with the product name was missing along with a back sticker looking like a bad application and also I haven't seen any videos I'm going to boxing yet but the screen didn't have a peel on it. I don't know if it was supposed to come on or not. The box was sealed and nothing other than the missing sticker really makes it look like it was used but I'm wondering if it's bad quality control or someone actually went through the effort of sealing it in plastic and returning it. I only concern with the missing sticker is it looks like it might have exposed the microphone which I mean it's not waterproof. So I think I'm going to contact seller and maybe get a replacement sticker or just return the radio or get a replacement radio. All the reviews I've read a very positive about the radio and aside from my little issues it's a great little radio it feels very rugged doesn't feel like a $40 radio it feels like a several hundred dollar radio. What it's worth I would recommend it. Update : I was contacted by the seller and they expressed concern and wanted to make it right. Shipped me out a new one and send the old one back. Thank you.

I rarely give a product a five-star rating. However, this device deserves it. It's a solidly built radio that delivers what it's designed to do—reliable and unfailing communication

I have tried this and compared it to Midland and several other brands. I like the fact it is IP67 rated meaning it can be submerged in a couple of feet of water for up to an hour without worry about water ingress. Haven't tried it yet but expect this will be a very desirable feature to have when camping or recreating. Also it has the ability to swap out discharged batteries if needed. It comes with lots of open channels for custom programming. Seems to go head to head with other radios in the 5w power class. The one thing I dislike so far is the colors of the display, at least the dark blue is hard to read the lettering. A nice power saving feature (optional) is the ability to turn off the backlight during standby. The display comes back to life when transmitting, receiving, or changing a channel. After the preset time has elapsed the display then goes dark again saving battery life.

These are quality radios. I live on an island and we are using these to set up an emergency communications network in case of natural or manmade disaster. Our radio club did extensive testing on multiple brands and models of GSRM. This radio ticked most of the boxes for function and quality. Especially given the price.

Getting the CPS working is a nightmare. But once programmed it’s a good radio, lasted a while snow clearing season and a landscape season. Will probably be buying more.

Very nice GMRS Radio, it feels good in the hand and programming was easy.

I ordered this radio during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale period because of positive reviews I watched on YouTube. The radio showed up a couple of days earlier than promised and everything was packed well and no damage at all. Setup and programming was simple, using the Retevis CPS software, I even updated the Firmware without problems. Great little radio, built like a tank and sounds great. I also like the water resistance in case I happen to drop it in a creek or lake I won't have to worry about damaging the radio. Great lifetime on the battery, I monitor it daily and it's been days since I fully charged it and I still have "full bars" on the battery display.

Very sturdy and easy to program! I have the Ham version and it’s basically the same. But with a few button pushes you can open it up to GMRS and MURS for about the same price!
