This is a good radio for the price. The included antenna works well. I am consistently getting into repeaters from 30miles away. Receives clear enough. For the price it is great to have and keep in a vehicle. I did have to adjust the settings to get it to accept more frequencies/bands. Programmed with CHIRP easily with the INCLUDED CABLE. I ordered a programming cable separately because the specifications didn't list it as coming with one. It did in fact come with the appropriate cable.

Nice radio! Solidly built. Very nice volume. The Retevis programming software did not work for me but Chirp worked beautifully.

Love this radio and it was a good buy zero issues. I only disabled VOX after it came on one time. only complaint. probably my own error. other than that great radio. 25 watts and plenty of power in the mountains of Appalachia.

It’s a great Radio if you’re a new ham and just got your ticket. I got it on the spring sale so it was a very good value. It’s been working very well. I like the screen and the way that you can program it with either chirp or software or from the screen itself works very well.

Fairly easy to install, super easy to program thanks to CHIRP. Working just fine with a cigarette lighter adapter (I will hardwire it down the road). Amazingly easy to program with CHIRP, i just copied over a list from another radio and uploaded, perfect. Came pre-updated with the Mic Gain option. I am using a window antenna holder with the little ~6" antenna from a Retevis HA1G outside, Audio reports said i was "blowing them out of the water" (repeater 40 miles away) at only medium 15 watts (I had mic gain on 3, guess ill turn that down to 2...) Never had such good radio reports before, audio from head unit and speaker mic is clear and loud enough. Note: be careful of the minimum voltage, this thing seems to need 13+V. With my truck off and voltage around 12V, it was starting to not transmit and behave strangely. Manual says its designed for 13.8V which is what most cars/trucks output.

Great little radio for the price. Sounds great in my car and easy to customize. Make sure to research how to change the region setting to unlock all of the frequencies available to you as it sounds like these often leave the factory set to ITU Region 1 rather than Region 2.

A great radio if you work on a ranch, or a farm. Easy to use, and has great distance.

My first dual band 2 meter / 70 meter ham radio. Great little first rig. I like that I can program GMRS channels into it. Able to connect to both ham radio repeaters as well as GMRS repeaters. Came on time, as described. Would and will be buying another one of these for my nephew

Nice little radio, works great.

I love this radio. Works better than I expected for the price. I used Chirp to program it and was operating within hours of receiving it.

What a nice little kit! Easy to program with CHIRP over all build quality is good. This is all you need to get you on the air mobile in one afternoon. I have been a ham for 30 years and this is a good set for both beginner and for a seasoned guy like me. Especially nice that it is small and will fit well in todays smaller cars

Replaced my handheld HAM radio with this one. Love it. I like how easy it is to use and can program it without the software.

Great little radio for the price. Has great range with very clear sound. I use it as a base station for both GMRS and VHF. I used it during the Kentucky tornadoes. Worked fantastically. I'd recommend for beginners and for anyone looking for a working transceiver at a reasonable price. Scanning could be quicker. Minor programming issues, but nothing that makes it a deal breaker. Works just as well as the more expensive brands, but for a lot less.

Great dual-band (UHF/VHF) mobile radio for the price point. I got two of them, one for a base-station and one for my truck because I was so impressed that they work so well. Outputs a solid 20W. Easy to program with CHIRP (or face-programming). Easily unlocked to access GMRS and MURS if you're into that. Very close in functionality to my Icom 2730A for a fraction of the price.

I give the RT95 and antenna clip in this combo a thumbs up! I purchased a mobile radio for a delivery truck on a dairy farm. The RT95 is easy to install and has a clear screen. It's small, but compact and easy to read. I have to say this is a great little radio. At this size, power and price, it's hard to find anything comparable. The user interface issues are easy to fix, just like any other radio, and once you know how to use it properly it's not a big deal.

I did my research. When looking for a simple dual band radio for my truck I chose the retevis rt95. My truck has an all aluminum body so my magnetic mounted antenna won't work. I chose the MA07 Stainless Steel Antenna. I was nervous about drilling holes in the truck for installation. It took me some time to find out that it's quite simple. I will say that I am very impressed with the performance of this combination. I live in a rural environment and my repeater has never been completely silent. I highly recommend this combo to anyone. My only quirk is programming. Simple solution. Be sure to read the radio first, save the file, add frequencies etc, write to the radio and then save the file again. I have created a file while waiting for the radio to arrive. Followed my advice above and it worked great. retevis software is easy to use. highly recommended.
