Function:
If you order the US and Canada version you will get the Canadian version that is 406-430Mhz and 450-470Mhz and as of this review it can't be unlocked. I am currently waiting to see if they are going to come out with the software or firmware to be able to unlock it. I have ran power tests on the radio and it is close to the claimed 10w on high, 5w on medium, and .25-.3w on low. I also checked the antenna on the SWR meter and it is actually pretty good in all the bands I checked. The transmitted audio is awesome if you use compandering and denoise with the mic gain turned to high. Even on low it sounds good but I think it is better on high. The radio shell is built rugged and solid like the HA1G/HA1UV and feels good in the hand. Speaker quality is good and loud enough. I wish the keyboard buttons were a little bigger but it's not a deal breaker. I do like the dark screen with the colored fonts much better than the screens like on my HA1G which are too bright in dark circumstances. I did try the programming software but when trying to read the radio it wanted a password. I didn't figure it out and support never told me since they were probably going to ship me the EU version if they don't have a fix for the UHF band problem. All in all it seems like a solid radio but they REALLY need to ship the EU version for the USA buyers since they always wind up unlocked anyway. I don't understand why you would want a dual band radio in the US that is not able to tune 430-450Mhz which is the major portion of the 70cm band. I hope Retevis reads this and starts shipping the EU version for the US like it should have been. Anyway, that's my take on the RT29S so I hope I save you a lot of trouble. I plan to edit this when we figure it all out.
