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.



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.

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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