There’s no specific transmit power to distance ratio. There are a great many variables including terrain, the quality and location of both antennas, the sensitivity of the receiver, extraneous RF in the area, and probably others I haven’t thought of.

A couple summers ago, we lost power for 3 days due to wind. I used an old Radio Shack inverter on the car battery and a long extention into the house to run my laptop, modem, wifi and charge the cell phones. I made a promise to my self, to by a generator before the end of the year (you could't find one for a couple hundred miles around during the outage) and I did. I also bought two 100w solar panels and controller and 3 110AH heavy duty forklift batteries along with a 1000w pure sinewave inverter. One of the batteries is on the DC backup sump pump but can be used to run the blower on the natural gas furnace. Also have a dozen portable batteries. THe best one runs my CPAP in outages and when camping.

I have both the UHF and VHF versions of this radio and they are fantastic. Dead simple and do exactly what you would need an inexperienced operator to do. They are tough radios and have battery life for days. Program them up with some simplex frequencies or your local repeaters and go to town. Have I tested them on MURS and GMRS frequencies with a dummy load in a steel container and do they transmit? Yes. Would I use them on these frequencies to transmit outside the container? Absolutely not. Am I a licensed HAM, also yes.

Thank you for giving a clear and accurate review of the RT-29. I am a quasi sad ham, as well as a licensed GMRS operator, and was confused with the advertisement information from Retevis as I did not see any mention of a Ham license being required to operate the radio when there is no actual emergency. Your review very clearly pointed out when the radio could legally be operated and when it could not be legally operated by a person that did not have a Ham license. In general, I find your reviews to be enlightening, somewhat humerous, and always entertaining. Thanks!

You need a license to use it, period. Using radios in emergencies covers all radio services and radios, not just this radio. An emergency means a real emergency, not something minor. Lost in he woods and starving with a broken leg, that is the type of emergency that would allow you to use a ham radio without a license. You can but any radio, you just cannot transmit on any radio, unless it is an emergency. I think the reason it says nothing about a license is because this radio has not been certified by the FCC, which means you're not supposed to use the radio even with a license. I looked on the FCC page, and this radio has not been certified.

@@TheNotaRubicon Complete lack of enforcement? Is that what you were told, because that is not true. The facts show that a lot of people get fined and even lose their right to own a radio. You should stop believing everything you are told. Some have even went to jail. My personal favorite is the guy who had already been fined years ago for harassing people on the CB. Then years later they catch him again. They gave him a warning, then out of nowhere he starts doing it again, but even worse, so they fined him and took away his radio privileges for a couple years. Then he does it again, but this time he is challenging the government while transmitting, and he ended up getting arrested for it. I have personally seen countless cases where people have been fined, lost radio privileges and even jailed. They are in fact enforcing it, just like they enforce TV and broadcast radio. TV networks and radio stations also get fined all the time for breaking the riles. You think they're not paying attention, but they are always watching and listening. They will literally come and measure your antenna to make sure your antenna is not too big, and will even make you take it down, move it or whatever else to make sure your antenna is in accordance with the rules. Those people claiming the FCC is not enforcing the rules, are either lying or misinformed. Get on your radio and start doing things you are not supposed to do for an entire day, and see how fast they send you a letter or knock on your door. Prove to yourself they are not enforcing the rules. Come on chicken, do it.

Thankfully the FCC, by law, is required to make every enforcement public, which they do in their public enforcement database which is easily searchable by anyone with a web-browser and an internet connection. Apparently you dont know this, or have not looked through it, because if you had, you would know there the FCC has enforced basically nothing since 2012.

I absolutely love these for the money you can't touch them and even better when paired up to thee rt99 in its repeat mode you can easily quadruple your range . This hunting season i will be putting a base station antenna on a push up pole 30 or 40 feet hook to rt99 in my truck to test how many fars we can get.

I have only one real complaint: the Retevis speaker mic is not that great. That being said, they (Retevis) does sell a optional speaker mic jack that will allow you to use two-pin plug in microphone...I went with a Kenwood speaker mic and it sounds far better then the Retevis by far. I'm using the VHF version and can honestly say for the money this thing works great in the wilderness setting.

To have an amateur radio station, means that you have an amateur radio station license period which in turn means that you have to be a licensed amateur radio operator. When I first receive my amateur radio license they sent me booth and amateur radio station license and a wallet license. Now these must be printed out, however it still applies when you print out the PDF it has both a station license and a wallet license. That way you don't have to carry around a large document roughly 8.5 x 5-6 inches

I’m an off-roader , scuba diver, bowhunter, and competitive shooter. It doesn’t make you an instant dork. What it does is open up a whole lot of useable radio waves and infrastructure of repeaters that GMRS will never catch up too. I would talk to my buddies on a repeater until we got into simplex range. It’s very useful. Just do it damn it.

But no one is going to get in trouble if someone without any license uses a radio to save someone's life.

Correct. Out of the box and without reprogramming, the RT-29s are on amateur frequencies and any kind of encryption is illegal. Doesn't matter if it's simple inversion that's been around since the Second World War, analog rolling code, DVP, AES, or FHDSS. If the intent is to obscure communications in any way it's illegal. Even non-standard 10-codes and the like are a no-no. If your intent is to be covert and code your messages in any way it's against the FCC regs. Interestingly, though, there are a number of proprietary amateur digital voice modes that are not entirely mainstream and whose CODECs aren't in scanners. Things like Yaesu System Fusion VW mode, or Icom's D-star, for example. They're not encrypted or coded in any way, but they're also impossible to monitor unless you have a compatible radio.

I was just about to order a couple of the Baofengs you seem to love, but then I saw this new video. Now I don’t know what to do! I was about to press “buy now”! Could you offer me some advice please? I’m totally green, no idea what I’m doing. But over here in Australia things are getting really bad. I’m ready to head inland with my family to get away. Need coms. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Love your channel BTW. Dry humour, my favourite.

I just got a couple of these radios, and viewers should know that Retevis _does not_ include headsets with its RT29 walkie-talkies. My radios are still charging (I got them today), but Randy, the instruction manual has _nothing_ in it that tells you how to use the scrambling feature. Thankfully, my sharp eye and keen wit noticed you pushing a button on the side of your walkie-talkie. And even if you call it "scrambling inversion," the manual calls it "encryption," which is defined as "the process of converting information or data into a code, especially to prevent unauthorized access." Not many people are going to have descramblers, so yeah, it could be a form of encryption. Besides your RT29s, which radios do you own that can de-scramble that gibberish? If someone had an RT29 in the area you're transmitting in, he could break the scrambling. But what are the chances of that? I also don't want to sound conspiratorial, but has anyone compared the IP67 to the standard version? What are the differences? Why is one water- and dust-proof and the other isn't? And how would the RT29 stand up to your blender?

Randy, since they seem to listen to you. Maybe you could suggest to Retevis that if they are goin to use the worlds smallest Torx style bit (T8) for the belt clip, it would be nice to include the worlds smallest Torx driver (T8). Or a better Idea....use a Philips screw like everyone else. I'm still waiting on my programming cable. Also on a side note. I know you like your toys and are also around other peoples radios. Check out the Surecom SF-401Plus frequency counter. It'll instantly tell you the frequency and CTCSS or Digital code being transmitted with no connections needed. It might be a quick and easy tool to use when pre-checking radios. This is how I am seeing what frequencies are preloaded on my RT29. Thanks for the channel, Love the content and attitude. My friends cracked up when you got beaten up by the Sad Ham.

Hello, I enjoy your videos. I have the RT29 in VHF, it seems you and other videos focus on UHF radios, is there a reason for that? From the little I know VHF is for long distance outdoors and UHF is for inside buildings. Have you done a video explaining the difference?
