FAQ

The RB48 Plus is a 5W GMRS two-way radio built for tough job sites: IP67 waterproof and dust tight, 2m drop tested 1,000 times, dual PTT buttons for work gloves, pre-set GMRS repeater channels, a 2000mAh battery for up to 18 hours, USB-C and cradle charging, vibration alerts, VOX hands-free, one-key group call, an LCD with three-color backlight and emergency alarm.

In open country expect 3 to 5 km; inside buildings it stays usable across about 30 floors. Cities, hills and heavy construction shorten range like any radio. For sites that outgrow line of sight, switch to the pre-set repeater channels and link a GMRS repeater to multiply coverage. Plan your fleet around these honest numbers, not lab maximums.

Yes. GMRS radios in the US require an FCC GMRS license. It costs $35, lasts 10 years, requires no exam, and one license covers your entire family or household crew. Teams that need zero paperwork can choose the license-free FRS version of the RB48 instead.

Yes. Both radios work on the shared 462-467 MHz UHF band. Set both to the same frequency and matching CTCSS/DCS code and they will communicate. Note that GMRS channels allow higher power, so range may differ between the two models.

Yes. The RB48 Plus comes with pre-set GMRS repeater channels. Connect to a local GMRS repeater — or a Retevis GMRS repeater station such as the RT97P — and your signal is retransmitted from a high point, multiplying coverage across large properties, valleys and multi-building sites.

The RB48 Plus uses a 2.5mm single-pin audio jack shared with the RB48 family, so your existing earpieces and speaker mics carry over. Useful additions: acoustic tube earpieces like the EAS001, remote shoulder speaker mics, spare 2000mAh batteries, desktop cradles and the RTC48P/RTC48T multi-unit chargers for whole crews.

The built-in 2000mAh Li-ion battery runs up to 18 hours of continuous use, and the battery save mode stretches a shift further. Charge over USB Type-C from a vehicle, power bank or laptop, or drop it on the desktop cradle overnight. Retevis also offers 2000mAh replacement batteries for rotation.

Yes. It carries an IP67 rating: waterproof to 1m for 30 minutes and sealed against 0.1μm dense dust. The PC+TPE composite shell with anti-slip grip survived 1,000 drops from 2 meters in testing. It is built for rain, mud, dust and hard job-site handling.

The RB48 Plus is the upgraded GMRS version: 5W power, repeater support, up to 18 hours of battery and an FCC GMRS license required. The RB48 is the license-free FRS version: 2W, 22 channels, up to 12 hours, no paperwork. Both share the IP67 waterproof build, dual PTT buttons, 2000mAh battery platform and 2.5mm accessories.

Enter the menu, find the vibration (U1) setting, choose the vibration mode you need and confirm. The radio then vibrates on incoming calls, so you never miss a message over jackhammers, engines or factory noise. Adjust or turn it off the same way.

One-key group call broadcasts to everyone on the network with a single button press, bypassing individual channel restrictions. Use it for site-wide announcements, evacuations or quick coordination, so the whole crew hears the same instruction at the same moment.

Choose the RB48 Plus for long range on big outdoor sites: 5W GMRS power, repeater support and an 18-hour battery at a lower cost — ideal for construction, farms, hunting and large properties. Choose the RB48D when you need digital capacity and security: 512 channels, 16 zones and ARC4/AES encryption for industrial and enterprise fleets.
