Review on Retevis Waterproof Digital Recording Channels by John Miranda

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible software written to power the device

I had to write a review about this because I felt the need to help others. This is my first review ever, anywhere. I was just having trouble with this radio and trying to program the radio. The software programmed for this radio is EXTREMELY buggy. I'm an IT manager with C# programming experience and also an active radio amateur for 7 years, so I know what I'm doing when it comes to radio, but this device just doesn't live up to expectations. I've only had it for 2 weeks and as of last night after installing the added repeater the device is locked and not responding to programming software and won't unlock after various firmware updates. Stay away I say!

Pros
  • Higher power and 2800mah plus IP67 waterproof function allows you to keep the device safe outdoors; compatible with MOTOTRBO; Compatible with DMR Tier I and II
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
