When every call matters, equip your team with the Retevis RT29S—the durable radio built for demanding environments. Combining high-power long-range communication with advanced AI noise cancellation, it delivers clear voice even in loud industrial, security, or outdoor settings. Featuring IP67 waterproofing, a full keypad, and a clear display, RT29S is made to perform wherever you work. Available in GMRS (US), UV Dual Band (EU), and UV Dual Band (US/Canada) versions. Dependable. Loud. Clear. Built for the pros.
Command an impressive communication range that keeps your team in sync. With robust high-power transmission, the RT29S reliably covers vast areas up to 700,000 sq.ft (60,000 sq.m) or 50 vertical floors. For even greater distances and to overcome the toughest signal obstacles, it is fully compatible with repeaters, allowing you to significantly extend the communication range, making it ideal for coordinating across sprawling construction sites, factories, multi-level facilities, and large outdoor environments without losing connection.

The Retevis RT29S offers unparalleled communication adaptability with its dual-band capability, allowing your team to switch between frequency bands for optimal signal penetration in dense areas or clearer coverage in open spaces. The Dual Watch function takes it a step further, enabling simultaneous monitoring of two channels—perfect for supervisors who need to stay connected to both primary work and safety channels, ensuring no critical message is missed.

Navigate settings and information with ease. The 1.77-inch LCD screen clearly shows channel, battery, and signal status, with an adjustable LCD backlight for perfect visibility in bright sun or low light. The full keypad allows for quick manual frequency input and direct access to all features, enabling easy and efficient menu-free operation even when wearing gloves.


Experience exceptional audio clarity that cuts through the din. Advanced AI noise cancellation actively filters out background noise from machinery, crowds, and wind, while an optimized acoustic design and +9dB maximum volume boost ensure every instruction is heard loud and clear, even in the noisiest industrial or outdoor settings. RT29S two way radio also offers 0–9 squelch levels to block disturbance and background noise; communication stays clean and reliable in noisy industrial or urban environments.

Built to survive the toughest conditions. With a full IP67 rating, RT29S long-range radio is completely dustproof and can withstand immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Its rugged ABS housing is engineered to resist impacts and accidental drops, guaranteeing reliable performance in rain, mud, dust, perfect for outdoor and industrial environments.


Power through the longest shifts without worry. The high-capacity 2800mAh lithium-ion battery delivers up to 25 hours of continuous use, supported by an energy-saving mode. When it's time to recharge, the modern USB Type-C port offers fast, convenient power-ups using common cables and power banks, keeping teams connected throughout long shifts without downtime.

Coordinate your entire team instantly. With the One-Touch Group Call function, a single press broadcasts your message to every member simultaneously, enabling rapid, delay-free updates for swift group movements or urgent safety alerts—perfect for site-wide announcements or emergency coordination.

Eliminate unwanted chatter and secure your team's conversations. By setting CTCSS or DCS sub-audible tones, your radios will only hear transmissions from others in your private group, effectively blocking out interference from other teams operating on the same frequency nearby, a must-have for busy job sites and events.

Be prepared for any situation. The prominent emergency alarm provides a vital safety lifeline.RT29S two way radio features a one-key SOS emergency alarm sends an immediate distress alert to all team radios, facilitating a swift and organized response to critical situations. For teams in applicable regions, the GMRS version includes direct access to 12 NOAA weather channels, delivering real-time official weather forecasts and emergency alerts directly to your radio to keep outdoor teams safe from sudden storms.

Enhance your radio for any task with our rugged accessories. The IP67 Speaker Microphone offers loud, clear hands-free operation with a 360° rotatable clip and tough PU cable for supervisors on the move. For discreet communication, the G-Shape earhook provides secure, comfortable wear with an inline PTT and mic, perfect for security and covert operations.

Function:
I am very satisfied with my recently purchased RT29S radio. I like it not just one aspect, but the whole radio. I appreciate its design, but more importantly, its functionality. I really like the ability to select the power level as needed, which extends the already excellent battery life. Its menu is quite comprehensive, although some functions (such as the alarm) are not very useful to me.
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.
