I love my HD1. I was surprised they didn't expand the contacts storage like I heard they were going to though. It would be so nice to just get all of them. Perhaps you could suggest this to them. Great videos, keep up the good work! 73 de K8MRD.
I am liking the radio myself! The contacts is a bit of a bummer, I will make sure to let them know that is a feature people ask about. Thanks for watching and the comment!
I noticed when you turned on the radio it talked and said channel mode. I am a blind ham and are all ways looking for accessible DMR Radios for us blind hams. What other things will the radio speak? Will it speak channels, Talk Groups, frequencies or anything else? Currently I use a Radioddity GD77S which talks and will speak most things but with no screen or keypad cannot enter a talk group directly without using a PC. Thanks for your reviews of Ham Radio Gear.
Hey Joel. The voice output is somewhat limited. For example I will tell you when you switch vfo A from frequency mode to channel mode but it will not tell you when you switch from vfo A to vfo B. Also, it will not tell you when you switch menu options but it will tell you what button, from 0-9, is being pressed.
I'm trying to get a PTT for this radio, but idk the name or what specific motorola connector it is? I bought a PTT based on some information I read online forums but it ended up being a bigger connector :(
I would never recommend for anybody else to ever by one. Mine has a white screen of death. Dealing with the company to get it fixed is ridiculous 😡. I check the internal ribbon cable and I check the firmware upgrade. Buyer beware
Thanks for getting me passed the McAfee issue. I'm updated now.
Nice! Glad it helped.
awesome dude neat rig
Yeah, it’s been pretty fun to play around with. Thanks for the comment UC!

Thanks for your suggestions, if more suggestion on this radio, please email us: partner@retevis.com
Thanks @retevis!
Well done! Seems that we cannot do anything these days without a USB cable.
Ain’t that the truth! I just wish we had one single standard USB that didn’t require the installation of drivers.
@@TheSmokinApe Yeah....that too!
This radio can be programmed by its keypad, so if you don't have more requires, you can program it without pc and cable.
@@retevis That is a good feature!

This is the model I tested, Motorola MDPMMN4023A. Pretty sure is that a headset jack.

Yeah, the issues with the screen have been rather unfortunate.
