Pros & Cons
Pros
I use these radios everyday doing comm work and they have held up with zero issues. They're not 1k motorola's, but for the price point.
The rt29 can be used as a ham radio if you have a ham license. The battery life seems to be on point.

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.

Price

As of 10/2021, rt29 batteries are going for $41-$42.
They're not 1k motorola's, but for the price point.
Shipping
I received the product on time in good condition.
Competitiveness
Construction is decent, not sure it would be military grade, but better than baofeng radios we purchased years ago.
Not too bad of a range considering most other brands only go out a mile.

Even if you dont want to change the freqs the programing wire will be needed to shut off the voice prompts which talk when you change the channel and turn the radio on

There is no way to shut it off without using the software and acquiring the wire
