Pros & Cons

Pros

I use these radios everyday doing comm work and they have held up with zero issues. Programming is simple enough with software available from retevis website. I wish this radio would have taken advantage of both uhf and vhf, as opposed to just uhf.

They have a fair amount of distance in town (roughly 3 miles), and feel really durable. Easily 1-2 miles over heavy forest w elevation changes. Not too bad of a range considering most other brands only go out a mile.



Cons

The channel changing chime is unnecessary and lends to poor noise discipline in use and a home security tool. Very irritating is the provided belt clips that so not attach. Scrapped after a week.

Competitiveness


Construction is decent, not sure it would be military grade, but better than baofeng radios we purchased years ago.
