Description
RA89R High Power Dual-Band Handheld Ham Radio with Bluetooth APP Programming
Repeater Communicator
The build-in cross-band repeater function in the RA89R allows the radio to temporarily act as a repeater between VHF and UHF two different frequency bands. This means it can receive signals on one frequency and retransmit them on another, effectively bridging different radio systems or communication gaps in areas with limited signal coverage.
Bluetooth APP Programming & Audio
Wirelessly program frequencies, channels, and power settings via the Android app—no laptop needed. The dedicated app allows you to program frequencies, channels, and all advanced settings remotely, offering unparalleled convenience for field adjustments or fleet management. Bluetooth headset support enables hands-free operation with crystal-clear audio. Make onsite adjustments or emergency frequency changes with just a tap on your phone.
(Note: iOS support is under active development and will be released in a future update)
Aviation Reception
The RA89R offers wide-range coverage including VHF/UHF full bands and FM radio (64–108 MHz). Specifically, it provides reliable reception of transmissions in the aviation band (AM 108–134 MHz), allowing you to monitor real-time communications between aircraft and Air Traffic Control (ATC). This keeps you connected to vital aviation broadcasts, enhancing safety and ensuring up-to-date situational awareness for both enthusiasts and outdoor operators.
High Power Output
Tackle distance and obstacles with flexible power output. The RA89R offers selectable power levels of 10W, 5W, 2W, and 1W, allowing you to optimize for range or battery conservation as needed. With up to 10W of transmission power, the RA89R ensures clear, reliable communication, even in challenging environments. Whether you're working in urban areas, open fields, or rugged terrains, this helps your team stay connected over long distances, cutting through interference and ensuring your message gets through.
All-Day Power
With a 2800mAh battery, the RA89R supports up to 15.2 hours of continuous use. Fast recharging via the USB Type-C port (5V/2A) minimizes downtime, keeping you connected throughout the toughest shifts. Beyond its reliable hardware, the RA89R supports firmware upgrades, ensuring continuous performance improvements and long-term value.
Dual PTT Control
The two independent PTT buttons allow you to communicate with separate teams or manage multiple channels effortlessly. The instant switching between lines ensures seamless coordination between two teams without delays, enhancing command efficiency in multi-team operations.
Environment Adaptation
The RA89R is designed to optimize clarity, range, and battery life based on your specific environment. Whether you're in an urban jungle, a remote location, or dealing with extreme weather, its selectable wide/mid/narrow bandwidth options help fine-tune the device for maximum performance in any situation.
Efficient Channel Management
Stay on top of multiple channels at once with dual-band and dual-standby capabilities. The RA89R provides clear, independent management of two channels, each with its own display, ensuring that your communication stays organized and efficient. This is perfect for teams working across different frequencies or locations.
200-Channel Capacity
Organize your communication with ease by storing up to 200 channels in the RA89R. You can categorize channels by team, location, or mission type, making it easy to switch between different groups and environments with just a few clicks.
Selective Calling: 2-Tone/5-Tone
The RA89R supports 2-Tone/5-Tone signaling, offering the ability to make both single and group calls. This reduces channel congestion and improves communication efficiency, enabling targeted communication without interrupting other users on the same frequency.
Dual Alert System
With the Dual Alert System, the RA89R is equipped to help you respond to emergencies. The local and remote emergency alarms provide a comprehensive safety solution, triggering loud alerts and notifications across all team radios. Whether you're in the field or on-site, this system ensures you're prepared to act quickly in critical situations.
NOAA Weather Alerts
Retevis RA89R supports NOAA weather alerts (US Version Only), providing real-time updates on sudden weather changes. Built-in NOAA weather channels (12 channels) provide automatic alerts for severe weather—keeping you informed of critical weather changes without requiring active channel monitoring.
Custom VFO Scan Range
Customize your VFO scanning range by setting specific start and stop frequencies, allowing you to focus on the most relevant bands. This greatly improves scanning precision, making it ideal for tracking key signals and monitoring specific communication channels. Narrowing the scan to your selected range ensures more efficient and targeted signal acquisition, optimizing the overall monitoring performance.
CTCSS/DCS
Ensure private and interference-free communication on shared frequencies. The RA89R is equipped with CTCSS and DCS, ensuring that communication remains secure and private. Your radio will only open audio for transmissions from others using the same code, effectively filtering out unwanted conversations and noise, which guarantees clear, uninterrupted communication in remote or demanding conditions.
VOX Hands-Free Operation
Stay connected without missing a beat. With 3 sensitivity levels, the VOX (Voice-Activated Transmission) function enables hands-free operation, allowing you to transmit without pressing the PTT button. VOX is particularly useful in environments where you need both hands free to operate equipment or engage in outdoor activities, ensuring uninterrupted communication.
Design and Layout
The RA89R features a rugged, ergonomic design that’s built to withstand the elements while remaining comfortable for long-term use. From the intuitive control buttons to the clear display, every part of the radio is crafted for simplicity and reliability, making it perfect for demanding environments.
