Review on 📻 Retevis RT29 Long Range Walkie Talkies - Military Grade, Heavy Duty 2 Way Radio with 3200mAh Rechargeable Batteries, Emergency Communication for Adults - Includes Earpiece (2 Pack) by Jay Sterns

You're getting amazing performance with these two powerhouses, but I wish other reviewers would step back, take a breath, and consider the nonsense that they write. Here's the unvarnished truth. First, these are 10-watt walkie-talkies. (I don't call them hand-talkies, winky wonkys, tinky winkys, or any other ridiculous term. If you want to call them XT, fine, but they were walkie-talkies in 1963, and I'm not going to change it now! ) You'll be building and Don't burn trees or people on the moon with radio waves. Don't ask for more than they can give. Secondly, if you're going to climb an elevated position, say a hill or a mountain, these finned connections (ahem, walkie-talkies) will cover ten miles or more without issue. They really are portable radio powerhouses. But that brings me to three, based on their performance you must have a ham radio license. Technically. Most people who have them don't mind, and as long as you don't sing, whistle, or burp the Stars and Stripes on them, well I won't tell you. reported that they actually put out that power, which is impressive for a portable device. But it doesn't go through buildings, mountains or trees. If one radio is on the second floor of your home or office and the other is in a car on the road six miles away, your chances of getting a loud and clear call are good. They could be perfectly loud and clear for eight miles. They use UHF HT which I recommend instead of VHF. Finally, there is the waterproof/dustproof comparison to the standard. If you turn the HT upside down and remove the battery, you will see that the two connectors make contact with the back of the HT at about 2/3 the height. In the waterproof model, the connections are surrounded by a rubber seal. This seal is waterproof. The standard model also has a seal, but not as tight as the waterproof model. As of 10/2021, RT29 batteries cost between $41 and $42. It's a bit harsh, but they allow the RT29 to last up to 96 hours of standby time. However, it requires battery power to transmit, and the power actually drops off while transmitting and then returns to full power. There's no better radio to stay connected. The only other will be the Baofeng BF-H7, a 10W walkie-talkie that also requires a license to use legally. But it doesn't transmit 10 watts omnidirectionally. However, this is a very attractive radio.
