EngelbertWalkie TalkieReviewed on Oct 18,2024Retevis walkie talkies, so far, appear to be delivering clear communications. We have tested in different settings—garage, street, bathroom, etc.DieterBlows Baofeng out of the water.Reviewed on Oct 18,2024Some key points that I REALLY like, the antenna connector is a STANDARD SMA. Not the wonky SMA male like the Baofengs have. So any "normal" SMA antenna will work with it. A nice touch, because the included antenna is mediocre, but works fair. An upgraded "big daddy" antenna will definitely be a nice accessory though. Obviously, CHIRP programs these too which is a big plus and makes thing easy. The display is also STUPID bright on it's highest setting which makes seeing it outdoors easy. It is dimmable though so you don't need a welder's helmet to look at it. The biggest for me is HOW IT FEELS in the hand. It doesn't fee cheap. Sure, it isn't a Motorola Astro Saber, but it feels solid. It feels better than a Baofeng. I'll go out on a limb here and state It feels comparable to my Icom IC-V86, which is an absolute unit. For the price, you cannot go wrong, and even at a higher price point, you STILL wouldn't go wrong because it's just all around a better handheld than the UV5R ever thought about trying to be.CadwalladerWorks well for the priceReviewed on Oct 18,2024Each radio price is even cheaper than going out lunch, "that crazy!" It has tons of; bell. and whistles.BellerophonVery durable and good reachReviewed on Oct 18,2024We live in the forest on 30 acres and these work amazingly well.They are a very good product, they have a very good range, recommended.AlpheusSo far so good.Reviewed on Oct 18,2024I got the radios, tested them, but haven't had a chance to use them in the field yet. I think they are exactly what I wanted for my off-road explorations.ZebediahI was amazed at the clarity!Reviewed on Oct 17,2024I gave one to my wife and then set out across the stree to my neighbors garage to watch the hockey game and test them out. First thing that you notice is the audio clarity. The voice is crystal clear over these things! No cheap speaker distortion at all! Now the best part. My wife went down into my man cave (11 course basement) and I went out my neighbors back garage and then all the way to his back property line (1.6 acres) and still had crystal clear 2 way comms with my wife in my basement across the street!YarrowThere is nothing wrong with this radio!Reviewed on Oct 17,2024Very nice radio if there is someone who comments negatively on the radio it's because they have nothing else to do this is an entry level amateur radio very nice radio especially the priceTroyJust what I needReviewed on Mar 22,2024I bought this radio because our hunting channel is VHF and our racing channel is UHF. For the price, you can't beat it. Easy to program manually, long battery life, and clear sound.Viktorperform very wellReviewed on Jul 26,2023I think they perform very well , dual band radio with this price, overall i liked it and it worked pretty decentCharles Brodeur IIBest get themReviewed in United States on Sep 08,2022I was so pleased with the first two RT85 HTs, that I bought two more and four 3200mAh batteries; one for each. A true 5 watt HT that's easily unlocked and fully CHIRP programmable for all VHF, UHF, GMRS, and MURS channels. TX and RX is excellent and sound quality is clear. I highly recommend these to anyone that needs comms for everyday use or just for emergencies. Retevis rocks!
