I came across your channel just now and decided I “really really” like it. So you have yourself a new subscriber. 👍 Thanks for the great video! (Just a side note- if you got a dime for every time you said “really”, you’d make some serious cash!) 👍
Feedback about the video, Use the same sound source for the whole video, even if you need to make multiple recordings at the same time (this isn't a bad idea for redundancy, and for re-syncing the sound to the video). I nearly didn't bother watching because the opening audio was so poor, glad to see it changed when you changed camera source (looking sneakily like the Logitech camera). A few questions I'm sure many have about the features:- A) The recording firmware, does it make PCM wav files or MP3 files? or something proprietary that cannot be extracted from the radio easily? B) Can the GPS be used for APRS? If not, does it have a logging facility? EG does it produce a log of its location in a CSV like format (once extracted from it) showing GPS coordinates at regular intervals? (I'm thinking like the Icom IC-R30 does). C) Does the radio when using the recording firmware store any contacts at all such as perhaps 1000 or so? There doesn't seem to be anyone covering these details for one reason or another but I'd love to know and I'm sure many others would too. Thanks.

Hi Pal, got my License about a month ago now (M7) have been doing a lot on 70cm through our local repeater GB3CR (HUBNET connected) ha local, (about 18 miles away ). I have built my self an Allstar node & whilst doing some research came across your channel. You got me thinking about the digital side, as like you I have no interest in HF, so I have just ordered all the parts for the hotspot you built (arriving Friday) so I have a few questions for you which I can put on email if that's ok. Also just ordered the RT3S after watching this review £58 Bargain. Great in depth review on it Pal.

Thanks for the great video and review. I just got my radio the RT-3S with GPS and I don't know where to go to get the firmware. I only have the CPS software. Also, how do you upload the DMR database or CSV file?
Bruce Kempf hi buddy! Thanks for your comment I very much appreciate it :) in the description I have the link to my website that has the written review. You can find the firmware and instructions on how to import the contacts there :)
Hey Matt- Thanks! I finally got the firmware changed and the contacts working. Thanks again for a great video. Just wondering, where did you ever get the alternate firmware. Retevis does not have any firmware on their site that I could find.
Bruce Kempf hi buddy! Glad you got it working OK. I got the fw from retevis as the radio was acting up when I got it and wanted to reflash the fw to see if it sorted it. Luckily it did. These radios are bulletproof thanks again buddy :)

great video for a newbie like me.. thanks. Maybe add the upload data portion to radio after adding data to software.
Thanks a lot buddy :)
Having cable driver issues with Win 7, followed your guide step by step. Software works fine, but won't talk to the RT3S. Any thoughts ? cheers

I have just got one of these for work as we have multiple systems... Can this be programed up to our pmr radios and our vhf radios too?
I can't understand why no one reviewer talk about the RT3S VFO, also infos are little :/

Hi matt i have setup a repeater but when i key up the transmit led flashes and a sec later get a tone ,what am i doing wrong mate
It could be that the rx and tx are the wrong way round 🙏 thanks for watching buddy 😊👍
It will look into this but would this also happen if the repeater is not in range? Thanks for helping me
I have a made up id just to listen as i am just doing the foundation
Hey Matt! Do you want to upgrade your channel art?
Tiago Gonçalves hi Tiago! Thanks very much for your comment buddy and always room for improvement :)

Do you get clobbered for import duty and vat if you order direct off retevis?
No they usually send royal mail so goes straight through 😊😁 thanks for watching buddy 👍
@@m6ceb good video, like the TCARS shirt from M6IVI
This is a TYT UV 380 with a different sticker
does the rt3s use md 380 batteries
I'm not sure to be honest mate. I know the rt3 and the 380 were very similar so it's possible but I don't know for sure 👍😊
Mine has 7.4 volt 2000 mAh.
:21 "I was a massive fan of the RT3."
3:41 "I didn't like the RT3. Um, I didn't like that radio."
Me: WTF dude?!
Nope, at 3:41, he said "I *did* like..."
