Thx for this! it also seem very solid in build! 73 Levi in Sweden - one question: what is used as datacabel?

I got the iPhone version and I had trouble to find it, as not much information online or the information book. No links or anything. That what lets it down. Otherwise I’m like the radio. Bluetooth software doesn’t show what to use. But when you find it i found it interesting. I love technology and communication, pmr 446 work well. And I have a few different radio for if day out with my family. It’s a learning curve but it adds understanding as mostly same as other radio with some interesting features on it. Thanks for the video i enjoyed watching it.

Yagi directional antenna from Amazon there for the frequencies specific for gmrs they have different sizes that have different dbi ratings The bigger the antenna the more the DBI so the more energy you're putting towards range or focusing in one direction directional antennas of course you get more power more range out of them I have been able to hit repeaters 37 mi on the other side of Tuscaloosa County in West Alabama and it's very wooded here and hilly I have a 30 ft antenna outside and just say it works great I can pick up all over the county very large County at that I paid like 40 bucks for it it was the 7 dbi 400 to 470 MHz UHF Yagi directional antenna

Got mine yesterday. Easy to program my local repeater. Seems like it's just what I need.

Does this radio need a license?

👍🔥🙏⚔️🗡🛡✝️🇬🇪🏴⛪️

Can you turn that awful ‘welcome tone’ off? It reminds me of an Instant Pot pressure cooker. 🤦‍♂️

I also didnthee rt99 setnthe rt99 up ant.60 foot up on my tower . Paired to the rt29 i now have a nearly 40 miles in any direction repeater.

Those are great little radios. You would also find thee rt29 uhf radio gmrs programmed are 10 watts hooked to a mobile antenna does as good. For similar short distance

Great video just ordered one,they have a ton of features for the price,and the are doing custom firmware for it,and make it even more better..

Is it hard to program for the GRMS channels though and to use a repeater? This I think is a business radio. ?? They usually are 16 channels in the UHF frequencies and sometimes you need a license. I would like to be able to use it for GRMS and it would be great to do so and be encrypted if needed. I don't know if that's allowed though so I probably wouldn't use it. Was it easy enough to use the software to program the GRMS channels? Thanks . Good video. ❤

I have mine setup as a base unit. I love the straight forward no bells and whistles operation. Does everything I need it to.

Interesting radio. We have a DMR (Ham) repeater in the GMRS club repeaters group here.

That's a Hytera style antenna. I don't like how the shroud is flat along the socket end. If you thread that antenna on a UV5R there will be a gap. If you try to thread a UV5R antenna onto that radio the rubber shroud might get in the way because the radio's antenna socket is deeper. There's nothing wrong with that antenna, and spares are easy enough to get on Amazon or Ebay. They're just a bit oddball. Hang on to it, one day the FCC will wake up and allow digital on GMRS just like PMR446.

Rt68 works with rt86 ?

So is it a LMR radio? Or just a digital amateur radio.

How long does it take you to charge it? Are there simply problems with charging this radio? Привет с России ))

I have a set of 6 of the regular RB17 for passing out when I do audio gigs and they are fantastic! I might give the RB17P a try to put in the kit to have a couple dual monitor radios that are simple to use.

What coax are you using from radio thru the duplexer to help with loss there ? That be where you lost watts !

Keep up the good work boss

You stated your case well. I live in Baytiwn and enjoy a wide variety of two way radio cmmmunications. Your group sounds like what should be the standard for such groups. I haven't heard much about a group like yours in the Baytown area, yet am looking.

Interesting. Yeah, it's okay, but I would probably go all the way and get a new Midland .. Just me though. ❤ Thanks for sharing.

Just order one this morning, should be here,,tomorrow, I will compare it with my baofeng 5G plus I really needed this video wouldn't know how to operate it with out you,,,thanks bud !!!

Thanks!

Thank You for the review. I bought a DB-40 G about a month ago. I was fairly happy with it. It is pretty basic radio for the money. It output just under 45 watts, which was unexpected. Now the bad. I made a rookie mistake. I had run a coax to the other side of the house for a future antenna. It was not terminated, not shorted, just open. I hooked up that coax instead of my coax hooked to my GMRS antenna (I have been using the radio for a month with zero problems). I keyed down for less than 3 seconds. Smoke pored out of the radio. I opened the radio and the main chip was melted. Any quality radio will fold back the power to save the radio when the antenna port is open. Not this radio. Again, the coax was open, not shorted...I checked. Bottom line, if you have any problem with your coax or antenna, this radio will roach itself. Not an ideal thing as it cooked itself so quickly. Even with a SWR meter in line, if there was a problem, your radio would be toast before you could hardly realize there was a problem. Radioddity promptly sent me another radio, so kutos to them. Be very careful and be sure to check your coax/antenna on a regular basis. For the asking price, this radio should have high SWR protection. It does not. Buyer beware. Given what happened to my radio, I would not buy one if I knew how easily this radio will fry itself.

It's about $93 on the Retevis web site now. You can program it via the mic port.

looks like my Radioditty DB 20

Just ordered one of these and can't wait to try it I am from the UK and have a ham licence and use radios and walkie talkies all the time, love this hobbie. I have too many radios lol 😅😊😂 great review. I chosen this because of the display and hopefully for the long range.

My 1st H3 went out in flames while charging, replacement radio doesn't transmit at all. TID refusing to send the replacement, advising me to put the battery of replacement radio to 1st radio (one that burned out in flames). Tragi-Comedy...

lol just hook up an amp for a 50watt sms location to ping nearby APRS SMS integrated radios for your location in an emergency. I really believe they should add something similar to these types of radios for holding down an emergency button so that anyone nearby can get a constant pinging GPS location like VHF marine radios mayday feature.

Can i use my bafeng bf 1904 it is a 12 watt will it work on my radio

Hi can you tell me did this repeater work good on the amplifite

Now 1 year later I saw this video, thank you It worked like a dream and I have my compass. 😉👍👍👍

Can I just simply plug this into the accessory outlet (cigarette symbol) socket in my car? I don’t want to start with any wiring or fuse boxes in the car…

If it's crap, why did you buy it?

Just ordered an H3 for GMRS, and an H8 for amateur bands. Your walk-thru on using the app to program, and basic functions was logical and succinct. Excellent video, very helpful. You’re a cool guy in a very hot place. Best wishes.

best uhf radios ul ever get ,,,and they sound a lot clear than that ,, ive had 32 miles radio to radio , works brilliantly with the boafeng uv13 pro v2 which kicks out 7.5watss

Will this radio receive railroad communications?

Hello there, good video. Does this radio have any voice prompts at all? Being blind, I am looking for a radio with voice prompts. Thanks.

This isvmy 1st radio just got it off the charger trying to hear some traffic but can't hear anything

Subscribed. Thanks for a great review

Hello there. Nice video. Does this radio have voice prompts? In other words, does it talk when you press buttons? Thanks very much.

I was gonna buy this radio for my Jeep, till I saw this video. I downloaded that joke of a manual, and that was a red flag and not being able to program extra channels was another red flag. I have the RA86, and really like it.

I recently installed it in my minivan. Consistently transmitting 45W on high power. Consistent 5W on low. I have it paired with a Nagoya UT-72G magnetic base getting 1.35 SWR out of the box. Not too hard to program with the mic. There is software and a programming cable, but the features are limited enough that it can be done without. Works well, transmits clearly. Mic has a good feel and weight. Onboard speaker a bit tinny but tolerable.

I am looking at this radio along with a few others to set one up as a base radio with that said in your honest opinion what would be the best base radio to purchase

Thanks for the video. Do you know if this can be used with a Bluetooth headset? Many thanks

Mine came with backlit buttons on the mic. Still not impressed though...

Can u get the police on that raido?¿

Just like the rest, horrible front end, radios desense each other. Horrible quality, horrible product.

Hi from Canada,Great video Sir .
