- In this video, we demonstrate how update the ITU Region for the correct frequency allocation on the new Retevis Ailunce HD2 Dual Band DMR Ham Radio.
Note: This radio was sent to me free of charge from Retevis in exchange for this video review.

Outstanding man thanks
Thanks GP 👍
hi! could you confirm if central knob in HD2 works well for changing channels?... in my HD1 central knob is useless due to erratic behavior o lagging speed and I have to use the arrows on the keyboard to change channels... XE2SL tks
Hopefully the ones Retevis is selling in the US on Amazon and elsewhere are set for the correct ITU region. That'd be a pretty silly mistake but at least we have some instructions on how to fix it now.
Thank you for continuing to release videos on this HT. I think it's potentially in a sweet spot of feature set, performance, price, and durability and if that holds true it could be a popular radio. I'd certainly be interesting in seeing a comparison between the HD2 and the HD1 in terms of reciever sensitivity & selectivity.
Hey CH, I tend to agree that you would configure them for each region. I did ask and was told that the expectation is that DMR users would know how to adjust this in the CPS.
@@TheSmokinApe Oof, my HD2 just came in from Amazon and it's default set on ITU region 1 so anything above 146 MHz isn't going to work until I get it reprogrammed. That's a big screw up IMO, it shouldn't be on the end user to configure the radio for their region's bands.
@@CaptainHat12 Hi dear, glad to know your feedback. We have indeed received feedback similar to yours. In order to optimize the user experience, we will enable users to switch frequency range directly on the device in future firmware updates without having to use a computer for programming.
Hi! I am a firefighter in Chile and our working frequency is 155,000 and 162,200. I would like to know if there is any way to release this frequency in the radio equipment, since none of the regions that appear in the video are compatible.
Is it possible to have the DH-2 on APRS? This would be my replacement for the TM-D75A.
It’s my understanding that it has APRS over DMR but I have not tested it
Anyone have an opinion on the HD2 vs. the AnyTone 878UV+
I wish the Ham Geek “APX8000” did DMR. Of course it’s not gonna be anything close to the “real” APX8000.
(I’d buy a Motorola APX80l0 if only it did DMR in addition to analog and P25 Phase 1+2)
I have a Hytera PD982 portable and a /\/\otorola XPR7550e which are fairly decent and rugged ( fire department use).
The only dilemma? I need ONE VHF channel for an adjoining town.
Great channel .. Thanks!
Hey PM, IMO the Anytones are much better radios 👍
Son, I wanna see SA in the video!
Me too son
TY SA
Is there a longer in depth video coming for the HD2?
No reason other than inquiring minds want to know...if they should spend the $200 or not! Cheers
There will be at some point...
@@TheSmokinApe Excellent, looking forward to it.
Given the pace of firmware updates, it seems like people are giving the radio a healthy beating(assessment), for bugs and enhancements.
Yeah, this is the second update already.
@@TheSmokinApe where are you finding the updated firmware? Looking on Ailunce and Retevis I only see the original CPS and no firmware. Thanks, they won’t reply to my emails.
They sent it to me...
Is it possible to disable or reassign the alarm button?
Sorry, I haven’t tried to do that
Yes, you can do, the new beta firmware is allowing this operation. And it will update on RETEVIS and Ailunce website in the near future. Now our testers are testing it, we want to make sure everything is ok.
Any firmware update to add GMRS TX in case of emergencies....
I am not aware of any GRMS expansion.
“You can spread the frequency band by following the steps below:
Press Menu+6+turn on the radio, enter the password 654321. choose the frequency range you want to use by typing it in”
With the way so many want to expand this I think it will hurt their sales

I am unable to download the file
Maybe they restricted access, the link was from Retevis
To open up the radio to all bands (2m, 70cm, and GMRS) do the following. (you lose the 220 band with this)
For current firmware 2.0.7 w/GPS
With the radio off
1) Press & Hold "Menu"+"8" then turn the radio on
2) Enter the password "777888"
3) "Menu" to step through all the setting fields and until it saves
RX/TX - 136Mhz - 174Mhz
RX/TX - 400Mhz - 480Mhz
Thanks for the info
Tried this and still getting frequency errors. Tried it multiple times in case it didn't take. Any idea?
@@jasonstem4378 what firmware version are you currently on?
@plutonium76 2.0.7 GPS. Just got the radio yesterday. I had to do it via their program on a laptop and enter a different password and manually adjust the parameters
Do you have a real promiscous? Can all calls be heard?
Haven't tested that yet...
Wondering the same thing myself. I'm hoping they improved the promiscuous mode from rhe HD1. I'm really hoping the HD2 will monitor everything on any DMR frequency regardless of color code and time slot. Just like the Anytones do.
I hope so. I'm waiting for my HD 2.
