A simple, thorough, and no-frills power test with available equipment, practical to the task! Looks like, power-wise, the A1 is up to the task, and predictable specs. Thanks to TheSmokinApe, Retevis, and PCBWay for their respective parts. 73, -TheFirefishe

When are you going to do the spurious emissions test?

[@TheSmokinApe]

I’d imagine soon 👀

[@bobkopf227]

Good afternoon Mr. The Smokin Ape, thanks for sharing another great video. Question: I’m just curious about what you do with the radios etc that the manufacturers send to you in return for a review?

[@TheSmokinApe]

I donate some and give some to channel subscribers. Some go into a big box for future testing videos 👍

[@aymericschaeffer4210]

Is it a good radio ?

[@TheSmokinApe]

Not sure yet, just took it out of the box

[@robertmeyer4744]

the manual missing information . nothing new. from testing radios from China ,I find power levels all over. even in a 2 pack each radio may test different. well to solve that problem they did not give power level. their is in fact 3 power levels. so we can't complain about power levels being to high or low. 73's

Hey Robert, thanks for watching 👍

[@retevisQA]

Hi Robert, we would like to know what information you would like to see in the manual so that we can improve it in the future. 😣

[@robertmeyer4744]

@@retevisQA did not see the whole manual yet. but the manual in this video did not have the transmit power listed. just had HML for power. thank you for asking. I have many Retevis radios and use them . love the MURS/GMRS/FRS ones. listing the transmit power in watts was left out.
