Good afternoon, I have the retevis RA89, I bought it new and when I turn it on the keys do not work, it is not locked, and when I press the PTT button the legend STUN appears, I don't know how to correct it.

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Try a reset .

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

I have an RA-89. And I like it. If Retevis put the 89 in the case of the HA1G, with the color screen and weather (for the U.S. & Canada) it would be a perfect radio... or Make the HA1G 10 watts and unlock it

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Sounds like a good design .

[@JoeFramo-uw9fp]

Yes I love mine I feel very confident taking it out in the field and I can program it from the keypad if I had to put another repeater in very very nice company matter of fact I love this company I have their rt85 and the rt87 the rt87 is beautiful I wish you'd do a review on the RT 87 I love it because it has dual meters yes the estimators there's two of them if they made that in color I would buy two or three of them just to have❤

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Yes buy loads but also try all modes .

How to turn off tones?

[@AlexSwanson-rw7cv]

To turn off key beep set menu item 009 "BEEP" to "OFF". Or program with Chirp and turn off in settings.

[@cooloftheevening]

Is there any way to save FM radio broadcast channel names eg BBC R2?

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Yes use software

[@Sashquatsch]

mine has side buttons locked

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Program them in software

[@Sashquatsch]

@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones Yes thank you. I got to work on the side buttons but CHIRP has the configurations wrong. Mind you I use chirp on a Macbook. From Settings I clicked Advanced Settings and choose Side Key 1, on the right one can pick many functions like None VOX Dual Wait and others but if I clicked on None I got the next choice on my radio. Took me a while to figure this out. Still side key long press will not work and some functions do not work either. I am sure in the future Chirp will clean this mess. Anyhow I got Flashlight and Scan by choosing 1750 Tone and Dual Wait.

[@allenlark]

its crazy that they based the HA1G on a DMR radio and not this. this has a better waterproof rating and simpler hardware. well, they still have time to make the RA89G

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Yes lol

[@prxxyyy]

Nice ham-radio

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

[@stephenbrett4216]

[@davids9139]

Maybe you are talking too close to the microphone?

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Ok
