In today's fast-paced business world, communications need to be efficient, reliable and convenient. That's where the Retevis RA89 two-way radio comes in, with features like: 10w high power, long range, 2500 mAh lithium battery, waterproof and dustproof, intelligent noise reduction, durable material design and versatility.
RA89 with antenna can achieve ultra-long-distance stable calls. The walkie-talkie has three adjustable power levels of 10W/5W/1W. The higher the power, the longer the call distance. The actual use distance will be affected by weather, terrain and other interference. When your signal is unstable, you can adjust the power and add an antenna to achieve long-distance calls.
Don't let the harsh environment block your communication.The RA89 walkie-talkie has a dustproof rating of level 6 (highest level): completely prevents foreign matter and dust from entering, and a waterproof rating of level 8 (highest level): continuously immersed in water at a depth of one meter for one hour.
Reliable communication requires both stable signals and good noise reduction technology.Retevis RA89 Ham radio has clear sound quality and built-in the latest noise reduction chip (receiving noise reduction), which can effectively filter background noise and achieve automatic noise reduction.
The RA89 walkie-talkie is equipped with a 2500 mAh lithium battery and can work continuously for 15 hours. The large-capacity battery is designed to help personnel who need to work in shifts in harsh environments maintain long-term communication.
In VFO mode, long press the A/B button to quickly identify the scanned signal, and copy and save the frequency and CTCSS/DCS at the same time. This is a very important function for users who often do outdoor communications.
USB-C is a versatile and efficient charging option that is suitable for a wide range of devices, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other electronics. RA89 is also equipped with a charging base for more stable charging.
RA89 is equipped with two ham bands, UHF and VHF, to meet the different usage environments of amateur radio enthusiasts. Whether in the city or outdoors, everything is under your control. Dual standby means that you can "listen" to two channels (half-duplex) and listen to two different frequencies (even on different bands (VHF/UHF)). When listening to two frequencies at the same time, the walkie-talkie will give priority to the incoming radio station.
Tip: When you are in the city, you can use its UHF band for stronger penetration. When you are outdoors, you can use its VHF band for a larger communication range. Choose the appropriate band for the scene to maximize the communication function of the walkie-talkie.
RA89 is equipped with FM radio for you to enjoy in your leisure time. In addition, the dual monitoring function allows you to easily answer calls while using the FM radio function, ensuring that you will not miss important calls while listening to the radio.
The scrambling function can effectively avoid eavesdropping by changing or mixing voice and information during transmission. It can ensure the privacy of your communication when you want to communicate privately with your teammates.
You can press the "F" key and then the "# Radio" key to turn on this feature to call for help in an emergency.
VFO mode provides great convenience for editing frequencies and CTCSS/DCS. In addition, you can save them as regular channels to meet daily use.

SERVICE SUPPORT After a lot of research and analyses I decided to go for two RA89 from Retevis. To make sure I got all information right and to ask for a nice package I contacted Laura from Retevis by email. 1) Laura answered all my technical questions within a few hours 2) Laura sent me the relevant information to do the programming 3) Laura gave me a very attractive price for the package including shipment to Europe 4) Laura took my order and sent me only a few hours later the tracking number 5) Surprisingly the package arrived 6 days later in front of my door in Europe (I did expect three to four weeks) ***** : five out of five for the entire service support ! THE RADIO: The RA89 is a great and solid build radio with IP68 waterproof, USB-C charging jack and a large battery to support the up to 10 Watt transmission power. The audio transfer is pretty good and the speaker sounds loud and clear. This is an excellent Radio, especially for this price point! ***** : five out of five for the radio at this price point ! PROGRAMMING: programming the RA89 was and still is an easy job - even for me as an absolute beginner. Laura pointed me to the relevant software downloads and manuals. With the programming cable that was part of my package and the programming software from Retevis the configuration of my two devices was quickly done and without any obstacles. Chirp shall work as well, but I did not try so far. ***** : five out of five for the programming
Great radio, thanks to its solid construction and IP68 rating it can even be submerged in water (assuming the mic/headphone jack cover and USB-C charging jack rubber plug are attached correctly) as retevis says the connector for this mic is also waterproof . The speakers are loud and clear, audio transfer is good, the generous 10 watts of power come in handy occasionally, and it has a large battery to back up the extra power. The noise reduction feature does have an impact on edge signals.
