This is an excellent little ham radio transceiver and especially so because of the budget price. It is solidly built, very easy to operate and program (if I can do it, anyone can). I have mine set up in my shack connected to a Diamond x30 antenna in my loft and the signal quality on receive and transmit is spot on. I’ve also got the Anytone identical clone of this in my car, and it works flawlessly. I highly recommend this radio.

Cannot find a single gripe about this radio. Clear bright screen, easy software programming solid build.This radio is the mobile/driver users dream in my opinion. Hand mic can be programmed with shortcuts, swap VFO’s and volume etc.Some reviews complain about the modulation being quiet, but I find its only 1 in a dozen operators who remark on quiet audio.Have used it mobile for a month now and I have had copies a good 60-70 miles away and worked repeaters with similar distances on the mobile Nagoya 2/70 on mirror mount.Loud audio with generous number of volume steps (36) mean I can find a setting that isn’t to loud or quiet unlike my HT that is one or the other.Runs OK on 7amp mostly for home use into a slim jim im getting into repeaters in Southport, Buxton and Wales with ease running mid power.On 70cm the radio runs hotter on 25w but for general QSO not an issue.Smaller than you imagine when you look at it.The microphone is really solid and not creaky.Nothing bad to say at all. Love it… would buy another just to save swapping to the car!

Nice, easy to use, value for money. One downside is that there is no programming software for Mac users, and the programming cable is not recognised by Mac to use Chirp. So, the only way to go and program it is using a Windows PC, which is very frustrating. (Not test it with Linux)

I’m new to Ham Radio and have just recently passed the Foundation exam.This Retevis RT95 transceiver is very easy to set up and use. It is compact and suitable for a vehicle, but I have put mine on my desktop. Inputting repeaters is a cinch and it has good audio.I have found it to be excellent so far, with no issues.

Arrived with a non-functioning internal speaker. The mic speaker worked fine. Sent back for a refund. Looking to buy something else like a Yaesu UHF/VHF rig or HT.

The product arrived very quickly and was well packaged. In the box you get the radio, mounting bracket with thumb turn screws, foam pads to stop the bracket rubbing on the radio body, self tapping screws to fasten the bracket to the vehicle, 2 metre approx. power lead with inline fuse, spare fuse, keypad microphone, programming cable and user guide. My user guide was in German, however the guys at Retevis provided me with the English download.The radio looks professionally designed and assembled. The centre piece is the colour display, which while small is easily readable and displays everything you need. 2 S meters can be displayed when in dual watch mode, they look great. Functions are selected via 6 programmable buttons, all very easy to set up. Note that there is no fan on the radio, the body does get warm particularly if you are transmitting on 25W for any length of time. The speaker is mounted on the underside of the radio and the audio quality is excellent.Minor drawback is that you can only use 5 character channel names on the display. This is OK if you are setting up repeaters, e.g. GB3HG, as they fit perfectly, but would be better if this could be longer.It is very easy to perform Reverse Repeater, i.e. listen on the input of a repeater to determine if you can work a station simplex. This sets it aside from some of the other “amateur” radios available for a few pounds less.Note that whilst you have a dual watch feature you do not have two independent receivers. If you are receiving on one bank the other bank is not available.The hand microphone has a good rugged feel to it and is well illuminated for easy operation in the dark. I’m not sure why the A/B button has to be so large! The LEDs on the microphone indicate which Dual Watch bank you are using, and separate LEDs illuminate either red or green to show when you are transmitting or receiving on each bank. The handset also has a built in speaker that can be turned on / off by the radio software. On the side is the PTT button, up/down buttons and a lock slide switch to stop you changing frequency inadvertently. Yes, you can send DTMF from the keypad, and there are 4 programmable buttons there too. I’ve had good reports of transmission quality.All in all a very good radio at a very good price.

Buena emisora para empezar
Esta emisora doble banda es una muy buena opción para un radioaficionado que empieza y no quiere gastar grandes cantidades de dinero. Funciona perfectamente en las bandas de radioaficionado de VHF y UHF y dispone de todas las funciones básicas para hablar en rondas locales y en los repetidores que tengamos cerca.Esta emisora es muy compacta y pequeña, ocupa un poco mas que dos walkies de tamaño intermedio.Se trata de una emisora puramente analógica y modulación FM, por lo que no sirve para modos digitales. Tiene doble recepción, pero no simultánea. También tiene la función de escaner las memorias que hayamos programado (tiene 200 en total, lo que debería ser suficiente para la mayoría de usos) funcional pero bastante lenta, a unos 3 canales por segundo.Tiene 3 ajustes de potencia de salida: 5W (Low), 15W(Mid) y 25W(High). En el modo High y con una antena del tipo X-30 montada (de momento) en mi balcón llego perfectamente a un repetidor a unos 80Km de mi domicilio y por supuesto a todos los repetidores locales de mi ciudad (Sevilla), para los que la potencia “Mid” de 15W es mas que suficiente. En todos los casos tengo muy buenos reportes de señal y de calidad de audio con el micrófono que incluye de serie.El altavoz del equipo también tiene bastante buen audio, si bien se encuentra en la parte inferior de la emisora. Las conversaciones son perfectamente inteligibles.La emisora se controla mediante un solo mando giratorio y una serie de teclas programables a lado y lado de la pantalla. El mando giratorio tiene un tacto y manejo bastante firmes, lo que impide que cambiemos accidentalmente algún ajuste al tocarlo sin querer. Al contrario de muchas otras emisoras, en la pantalla se muestra la funcionalidad de cada una de las teclas, lo que hace el manejo estremadamente fácil, al no tener que memorizar estos datos.La conmutación entre transmisión y recepción es un poco larga. Si el repetidor tiene una “cola” muy corta, puede ser que la emisora no la escuche y equivocadamente pensemos que no estamos llegando.En cuanto a la programación, por lo visto se puede utilizar el programa Chirp-NEXT gratuito y de código abierto, pero también el propio del fabricante que se puede descargar de la página oficial. Este último está disponible únicamente en inglés (o en chino) pero es sencillo de utilizar, cubre todos los ajustes de memorias de canales y de toda la emisora y se incluye el cable de USB a la toma de micrófono (la emisora se programa de esta manera) que ha funcionado perfectamente y sin instalar ningún controlador o driver adicional y a la primera.
Bra att ha –
Retevis RT95. En mycket bra radio
Mycket nöjd med denna radio, enkel att programmera, liten och nätt. Bra pris och kvalitéEnkel att låsa upp frekvens-spannet om man behöver det.Hållit på med amatörradio i 45år och helt nöjd som kund.Men mikrofonen hade lågt ljud, fanns ej nån mick-gain i radion då min var tillverkad 2023.Kontaktade Retevis och dom skickade mig en nyare firmware och nu fungerar det 100%Tänk dock på att det är svårt om man ej är erfaren och läs dokumentet för att göra rätt.

Ottima radio entry-level per uso veicolare o fisso
Sono radioamatore da diversi anni e ho acquistato la Retevis RT95 come stazione secondaria da montare in auto. Per il prezzo a cui viene proposta, devo dire che offre davvero tanto.Il case è in metallo, ben dissipato, e non scalda troppo nemmeno in trasmissione prolungata alla massima potenza (25 W). L’audio in ricezione è pulito, con uno speaker interno che si difende bene anche in ambienti rumorosi, ma volendo si può usare uno esterno.Il frontale rotabile è una comodità se l’installazione sul cruscotto impone un’angolazione non frontale. Il microfono ha tastierino DTMF e consente un accesso comodo alle funzioni base, anche se la navigazione nei menu richiede un po’ di abitudine.Supporta pienamente VHF e UHF, con buona sensibilità e stabilità in frequenza. Programmazione facile via software (consiglio Chirp o quello proprietario), comodo anche per caricare rapidamente canali, CTCSS, DCS, ecc.Ovviamente non è paragonabile a modelli Yaesu o Icom in termini di filtri o DSP, ma per uso quotidiano, in macchina o come base economica, è davvero un’ottima scelta. Riceve anche bene in frequenza larga (utile per PMR, LPD, ecc.) e ha una discreta selettività.Nel complesso: ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Lo consiglio a chi cerca una radio solida, programmabile e adatta all’uso pratico, senza spendere cifre importanti.
