Review on πŸ“» Retevis RT72 Long Range Walkie Talkie, Digital and Analog Dual Band Two Way Radio, SMS 4000CH, 1800mAh Battery, Digital Walkie Talkie with 250 Zone Group Call (1 Pack) by Dave Johnson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Analog APRS doesn't work, maybe digital?

Although the seller claims it is an analog signal (in the questions section), this cannot be configured in software or through the radio. I think you'll be able to set up digital APRS in software somehow, but that's not what I was looking for. In that sense the software (and hardware as far as I know) is identical to the Baofeng 1802 but without modification does not use any code plugs with this radio. I basically got it for the APRS feature so mine will be back. Who cares, this could be a good radio, I was able to connect to my hotspot without too much trouble and the sound was ok. One star for the wrong description of the properties.

Pros
  • Full featured dual band DMR dual radio for long range watch; You can easily control the walkie-talkie in VFO mode
Cons
