Retevis RB627B License-Free PMR 446 Dual watch radio. (Inc longer range test).

[@davidhooper1767]

This looks a good handheld.A good review Fred thanks.

[@1903bretep]

Many thanks for the review, very clear and informative.

[@clydeosterhout1221]

In the US the Retevis RB27 family (RB27 GMRS, RB27b FRS, RB27b MURS) are my favorite 2 way radios. As others hafe ,entiined. Chirp allows for a great deal of costumization. The controls aŕ great, the weather and FM broadcast radio capabilities are useful, and the. Range us good. You can use the chirp RB27 file to modify it.

[@realliveradio447]

I these uncertain times, I think all households should have a PMR 446 device fully charged on standby.🤔

[@davidhooper1767]

You're right and I've got a range of handhelds even my 74 year old mum knows how to use one.

[@michaelloughlin734]

most of these retevis radios have a coil antannae which is smaller than the actual tubing I always cut mine and I put a proper stopper on the top makes it more discreet while still looking good.

Hi Fred a great video, with the handheld, I like in med Kent fly tipping is rife around here . 73 mark

[@luisveddhas]

Very good video, thank you

[@JohnC-lq1ny]

Hi Fred, Thanks again for a great review on the Retevis 627B . Just before your unexpected visitor arrived i believe you were saying the these radio's had an extra channel ability, how would you access them or would you have to do this via the "chirp" system. Keep these video's going Fred, very good.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Hi John. Yes if the radios are supported by CHIRP it may be possible to expand the freqs they cover and add extra channels. Not looked into it myself.

[@MichaelGüldenring]

Hello and thank you very much for your nice video it's so informative and interesting. My name is Michael i have two Retevis RB628 very good radios programming. The range is very good but i think with a longer antenna goes it better the RB628 are very short 4cm that is not so long. I say thank you and all the best for you 55/73 Michael ( Victor India )

Hi Fred and good evening do you remember me i have positive written to you for a lot of days. This radio is sold out in so many countries i can't tell you i will ask you is this radio old that Retevis closed the production? Did you know something about it? Greetings from Germany send Michael ( Victor India ) 🙋

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Greetings. I honestly dont know. They do change stock regular and bring out newer models. I do not get updated. Cheers.

Hi Fred. Thanks for the review. Have a hard time choosing between the Retevis RB27 vs RB618 vs RT649P Vs RB628? Any tips or feedback since you have tested several of them on wich one to get? I know its diffrent modells. But some reviews here in youtube really bashes the quality of the speakers and microfon vs the motorolla ones. Im intrested in the Retevis since you can chose a Hight 2w output by a software fix from Retevis in China.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

I really like this RB627B. Its not got the loudest speaker but it feels higher quality.

[@DAGLI91]

You can program repeaters on him, and give him higher power - 2watts. But it will be not PMR anymore but ham radio or GRMS. I found the way how to do that.

[@TontonZen]

Looks like a disguised UV5R, same display and menu behavior except the menu seems simplified. Seems to be the same firmware with some patches to allow only PMR/FRS type options.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

You could be right, not a bad thing though. Its does sound exactly the same.

[@xxxljorg1127]

Als kleiner Tipp...mit der entsprechenden Software lässt sich das Gerät auch auf Freenet programmieren und die Leistung lässt sich ein klein wenig erhöhen. Chirp geht da nicht!

[@ralphbernd2801]

Jetzt bin ich Neugierig, Freenet und die 16 Pmr Kanäle? Welche Software?

[@johnbolt806]

Hi Fred. Nice radio. Just a couple of questions. Where can I buy one and who can you talk to on it. Thanks

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Hi John. Direct buying link in the video description. PMR446 is a public band. Its also used by business and schools etc

Does that warning alarm also TX like the 5R?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Not that iam aware.

[@AndyOutdoorsman]

You could put them on high power, using chirp software, I did it with my RT 668 radios

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Thats good to hear.

[@AndyOutdoorsman]

@@CB-RADIO-UK if you haven’t used chirp for a while, update it so you get the latest radios that have been added Fred, love the videos 👍

[@dinisazevedo]

Hello. I bought one of these. I wonder what's the advantage of putting into 2w mode? Thanks

[@AndyOutdoorsman]

@@dinisazevedo you will get a longer range out of it, more distance

Still waiting for a decent 26-30 mhz all mode CB walkie talkie at a reasonable price point

Yes iam with you on that. CB has been forgotten

[@T.M.G2014]

Don't you have a 446 t2lt wee blue one you could have used for receive

[@TonyLing]

0:04 PMR and PMR446 are not the same thing, in fact there is a huge difference.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Interesting Tony tell me more ?

[@TonyLing]

@@CB-RADIO-UK PMR (Private Mobile Radio) has been around for decades. It describes licenced business radio and comes in the following bands (approx) VHF Low band 66-88MHz VHF Mid band 118 - 150 MHz VHF High Band 150 - 189 MHz VHF Band III 200 - 220 MHz UHF Band 1 400 - 450 MHz UHF Band 2 450 - 570 MHz PMR 446, by contrast, is a UHF low power licence exempt service occupying just 200 kHz
