Review on πŸ“» Retevis RT73 Mini Mobile Car Radios, Dual Band Transceiver GPS, 4000 Channels, 200000+ Contacts, Dual Time Slot, with Microphone (1 Pack) by David Gibbs

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good radio, best in CB and radios

This is a good radio. Seems to do what it says. APRS modulation can be a bit shaky. It seems my Kenwood and Yaesu don't like to decode it directly, but Digi solves it. So when it goes through digipeater I see the position on my HT. I honestly bought it mainly for use as a 25W APRS Beacon so I'm a bit disappointed with it but looks like a good radio for analog and DMR. Also, they seem to be rolling out some firmware updates, so that's promising. I like the length of the microphone cable, especially considering it's intended for use in mobile applications where it can be mounted quite far from the head. It is also nice that the microphone can also be used as a speaker.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • No
