[@chrispike5773]

Retevis are great little units. i have 4 older pmr radios they have been brilliant.

[@RingwayManchester]

Love that you’re promoting the licence free stuff Fred!

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Hi Lewis and fully legal as well :-).

[@billmorrison4746]

I jumped when the siren went off, great safety feature for personal protection!

I bought it from Amazon. It just arrived. It's a great product. Thank you. hello from Turkey

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Great to hear!

[@VaderWhoop]

Apart from being useful locally, I think these low cost radios are an excellent way to introduce and peek peoples interests in radio communications in general.

[@nikazp]

Good review! Bought for my son who turns 7 within short, assuming this will be a really fun present!

Does the walkie-talkie have a frequency capture mode along with a tone/code and recording in memory?!!!! 1. Switch to channel 1. Turn off the radio. 2. holding + volume, turn on the walkie-talkie. After 2-3 seconds, the green LED starts flashing, release the + button. Capture mode is enabled. 3. Use the + or - buttons to select the channel number. 4. on another walkie-talkie, the frequency of which we want to capture, we press the transmit button, the tone / code frequency is captured for 2-3 seconds, recording to the selected cell and the speaker emits a peak (capture confirmation) and the walkie-talkie turns on reception. Release the transfer button. If you need to record more frequencies, then use the + - buttons to select another channel and repeat step 4.5. Upon completion of programming all the necessary channels, we simply turn off, so to speak, exit the frequency capture mode. You can communicate even if we don't know its frequency tone/code!!!

[@HubbHubbs]

Amazing, didnt know about this and it does work with this model

[@bergie5414]

A bit confused. Maybe because i have the rt622. But you mean hold the plus button and then turn on the walkie talkie with the volume togfle5?

[@Daverocks-zp3kh]

Look a decent set of PMR 436 radios.

[@Orilian1]

Hello. I did not see in the chirp the opportunity to program this model. In the standard program, it seems that you can not change the power. Have you tried to increase the power of the station to 2W using a chirp? Because FRS version is 2w power. Perhaps she will perceive it as rt622 or rt622s

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Not all the retevis radios can be programmed in Chirp. Every time i look though they seem to add to the list.

[@cpbbg5bcbbg580]

All right interesting radios by the way you can do more than half a mile for sure tested the retrovise 16 which are roughly the same model in the city with minor line of sight you're doing about sometimes a mile 2 mi 3 MI if your line of sight from mountain to mountain your range is going to be a lot more increased as you know height and line of sight is your friend these are FRS gmrs or PMR you using the 446 I think it's 449 or 446 frequencies in Northern America they use the 462 and 467 frequencies megahertz on a unit on a cheap uniden radio Canadian tire did manage to achieve roughly 10 miles in the city of course line of sight this is from SFU mountain to downtown west end Vancouver signal still propagate this week mind you I also did some tests on those pushing the limits to 52 km going from one mountain to another mountain from UBC to mountain that was 52 km managed to achieve the distance however how to put the noise blinker off to get the signal to make the point is you can go further than half a mile if you're in buildings from building to building okay you'll be lucky if you can get that far from one building to another if there's not much optical you'll go a little bit further

[@okhamradio]

They are really nice and tiny

[@sutitigi]

Nice cheap radios for the children to see what fun you can have with radios.

[@HubbHubbs]

I have just got a set of these, mine dont seem to be able to be turned down, they seem quite loud even at the lowest volume setting and then get louder as you turn it up. Wonder if I have some from a bad batch with the wrong value variable resistors or are they just designed that way.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

No i think they were a bit loud.

[@jasonwoods4811]

Do they make more powerful Handheld PMR radios? :D

[@Perthshire]

These cheap and tacky 446 play things are limited by the rules and regs surrounding them. They are OK for kids or families within a very short range of one another. They are all much the same in terms of power and antenna length. You could always by a 70cm ham radio, though, and "broadband" it to open up 446mhz and then add an amp and a yagi. But that would be illegal in the UK.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Some of the models can be reprogrammed in Chirp and turned up to 2 watts. Mostly the cheaper models are fixed at 0.5w

[@jasonwoods4811]

@@CB-RADIO-UK Thanks buddy I will have a look at them :D

[@jasonwoods4811]

@@Perthshire Cheers for the tips :D

[@Tobinindustrial]

Wow, that is compact. They seem to be a bit of fun and interactive. Too bad they were not a bit more powerful.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Some you can turn up to 2w in chirp. Not these though.

[@ronalduljee3520]

Thank

[@Humble-Bee]

How to change frequency? Their software doesn't allow

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

It should within the radios tuning parameters. If still no luck try Chirp.

[@WaschyNumber1]

Radio sounds horrible, this flying saucer sound 😂 maybe a bad production version. 🤔

[@medjaisecurityconcepts]

These can't be programmed unfortunately.

[@wayne7939]

Yes they can

[@Humble-Bee]

They can not? Their software doesn't allow to change frequencies

[@St.Maurice]

@@Humble-BeeThank you! Retevis themselves told me they couldn’t be reprogrammed.
