Pretty good little radio. I have lots of handhelds, and this one seems pretty solid. The build quality is great. Fit and finish are definitely good, especially when you consider the price point. It feels rugged and durable in the hand, not like some of the other cheap plastic radios you see online. It's packed with features. You get quad-band transmission, which is really neat. It also has the NOAA weather alert channels, which, let's face it, is a must-have for any emergency radio. I like that it has a decent 2500mAh internal battery and charges via USB-C. The more options to power the unit the better, and using a standard cable is a big plus. Using it is pretty straightforward. There's a bit of a learning curve but nothing too difficult, especially if you've used these types of radios before. It says it's waterproof, and while I wouldn't hesitate to take this on a rafting trip, it definitely looks like it could handle some serious rain. It seems extremely water resistant. The range is as good as most radios in this class. Reception seems on par with similar radios I've used. No complaints there. It also comes with a ton of accessories. You get three different antennas, which for the price is awesome. All and all, this is a good product. It’s a feature-packed unit that does what it's supposed to. Given the solid build, the USB-C charging, and all the extra antennas, I think it's a great value for what it is. If you're in the market for a new handheld, I would buy this again. I recommend.

A ton of features packed into this little guy. Extremely versatile radio. To many functions and features to list. For the affordable price, sound quality and portability, you will not be disappointing. I'm very happy with it.

Very nice HT, 70cm 1.2m, 2m, 10m, 11m (CB), GMRS, and marine frequencies capable with programming, plus HF receiving. Power ranges from 2 watts to almost 8 watts on the 70cm band.

Great Little Quad Band Radio

Good, and compact multiband HT

Awesome radio

Pretty good little radio

Good range, battery life, and audio quality

As a new ham, I wanted one radio to explore everything. The A3 is perfect.

This radio bridges the gap between hobbyist fun and serious emergency preparedness. The quad-band TX provides multiple communication options if one band is down. The wide RX keeps me informed. It’s the most capable all-in-one comms device I own for any scenario

The 10 W (9 W actual) quad‑band handheld transceiver delivers a solid blend of versatility and performance for both professional and amateur use. Its sideband (both lower and upper) capability (SSB‑TX/RX) and full support for standard, high‑band FM, and the complete ham FM spectrum make it a valuable asset for HAM radio as well as emergency personnel and seasoned operators alike.

Sturdy and durable

This 2 way radio has good range, and also has good battery life. It is very compact, and has good audio quality.

A good radio

The package is outstanding value

What I like about the A3: 1. Great display 2. Good sound quality 3. Retevis is adding new features like shortwave and SSB reception. That's exciting! 4. Colors. I like the green, but I'd like to see black, and I also hope there will be more color options! 5. Supports USB-C charging

Good coverage, battery life, and sound quality. Unlocked via a combination of buttons. This two-way radio offers wide coverage and decent battery life. It's very compact and has good sound quality. The casing is made of durable ABS material.

I think this walkie-talkie is good value for money, performs well, and is easy to use.
