Retevis RT27 PMR446 Walkie Talkies, 2 Pack License-Free Two Way Radios with VOX Hands-Free, 16 Channels, Long Range Rechargeable USB Radios for Security, School, Hotel, Retail Use – Black

Cheap as chips but are brilliant little radios. Easy to work, charge easily and quickly, easy to hear other person very clearly. Good range. Small. The clip is very strong. The only drawback is the plastic feels a little cheap and i can only imagine would be brittle of dropped? However, they are awesome for the price.

Unlike other handheld two way radios on sale on this site that say they will operate on PMR frequencies the Retevis RT24 is an approved PMR446 product and as such no licence is required to operate them throughout Europe. The 16 channels are factory set to the analogue PMR European frequencies, the ERP (effective radiated power) is set to 0.5 Watts and the antenna is not removable (without the use of a tool) in line with PMR regulations. The units come programmed with CTCSS set to 114.8Hz on channels 1-8 and DCS is set D026N on channels 9-16. They work out of the box with each other, but you may need to change these settings if you want to talk to other PMR equipment. To do this you will need the free downloadable programming software from the Retevis website and buy a programming cable. A note of warning. Beware other radios that offer long range on PMR, often giving output power over 5 Watts. Any radio offering an output power of more than 0.5 Watt ERP is not legal to use on PMR frequencies even though they can be programmed to work on these frequencies. They are for licenced amateurs and licenced business users only. If you buy them for your kids or for going camping etc. and you are caught using them then you are committing an offense and may be prosecuted. Lecture over. These two units come with excellent packaging and a pretty good user manual. They are ready to use out of the box. I have had good communication between the two units over a mile in a semi built-up area and this would undoubtedly be further in open country. For the price the build quality and audio is excellent. There are only three controls; channel, power/volume and Push To Talk button, so really easy to operate. The radio speaks the channel number when you switch on or change channel (you can turn this off if you have the programming cable and rely on the imprinted numbers on the channel dial). There is a green/red LED to show when you are transmitting or receiving a signal. The units come with earphones/microphone and a wrist strap. The unit come with charging base, each of which is fitted with a USB connector. You need to provide your own adaptor. Not an issue and safer than many chargers that are fitted with a mains connector and single insulated cable. When I received the units it took about an hour to fully charge them, this may take longer dependent on the level of charge already in the battery. All in all, these are an excellent pair of legal PMR handsets, good value for money.

We tested these walkie talkies and found that the quality was good they feel solid and are a nice size the antenna is a permanent placed antenna and the power is only. 0.5 w however the range is good we tested them in a built up area and hilly terane and the reception was clear over a quarter of a mile. We are sure they will go a lot ferther that's good for a quarter of a watt. They can also be programmed to apply a scramble modulation on what ever channel you choose. For the price they are good but remember they are not top of the range but for basic communication they work well.

Fantastic item, they have really good range, fun for the kids, they use these while playing and we also use when camping and they work amazing, charge lasts long and really easy to use, nice design not bulky at all and not heavy so great for carrying around. Would recommend these to anyone!

Great package for the price. Came with some charge, but soon charged up. Good mic and audio quality from the units themselves. Plenty of volume to be had. Outside distance just fine, limited only by regulations, but meets expectations. I had a signal about 500m from my house which is more than fine for my use. I got them for cycling with a friend. Nice and chunky with a wrist strap and removable clothing clip. The earpiece/mic accessoires are a mixed bag. The audio quality through the earpiece is really good. However, the mic quality is pretty poor, and the push to talk button is a bit flimsy. I was in contact with the company regarding the software download and they responded very quickly. In my reply I mentioned the earpiece issue and they said they appreciated me taking the time to let them know. There's a paper manual included which talks about programming them. Not really needed for casual use. Literally push to talk using one of the 16 PMR channels available. But for geeky folk, the software is downloadable from the Retevis website. You'll need a cable and the cable software if trying this out. The tweaks really aren't worth the hassle for the average user. Worth every penny. I'd have loved these as a child! Highly recommended.

These are excellent PMR radios with simple controls. There's no need to cycle through a menu to change channels or other settings. The range is as good as you'll get with any legal UK spec 500mw 446 PMR radio. Maximum PMR range is obtained in open countryside/line of sight, but expect much less in built-up areas. 16 channels, so using channels 9-16 will avoid interference from any (more common) 8 channel radios in use nearby. The radio speaks the channels as you change them and there's also a voice low-battery warning (there is no visible battery-level indicator). This and other features can be disabled/modified using the optional programming lead connected to a PC. Check out YouTube for tutorials on how to do this. Be aware that modifying some programme settings will render the radios illegal to use in the UK. The active element of the antenna does not extend the full length of the plastic outer, so you can shorten the plastic section by 4cms if you find the length too unwieldy. The removable antenna has a male SMA connector, secured with a hex grub screw, but be aware that fitting different antennas may render them illegal to use in the UK. I use the radios every day and find them reliable and easy to use. I have owned several models of PMR radio over 20 years and these are the best yet. I strongly recommend. This is not a paid review!

Ottimi apparecchi ricetrasmittenti PMR omologati di qualità elettronica e ottimo rapporto prestazione / prezzo. Conosciuti e apprezzati anche tra i radioamatori. La semplicità è il loro punto di forza, assieme alla buona distanza di comunicazione. Un controllo superiore accensione - volume, un controllo superiore cambio canale con sedici posizioni di memoria-frequenza e voce guida in inglese, un tasto push-to-talk a sinistra e basta. Le batterie di ricambio, spesso in offerta, si trovano su Amazon e sono economiche rispetto a quelle di molti altri apparati PMR. Questa versione USB è più versatile rispetto a quella alimentata da tensione di rete per la possibilità di essere ricaricata anche in auto o attraverso un powerbank. Una nota negativa è che nella confezione non è presente un cavo di programmazione, necessario per allineare le frequenze per l'uso con apparati di altra marca e modello. Infatti i canali sono codificati con subtoni, tuttavia i due dispositivi comunicano tra di loro senza problemi. Allego la tabella di codifica canali dei miei due, che ho in seguito modificato togliendo i subtoni tramite il software scaricato dal sito web Retevis. Nella colonna a destra "Scan Add" è possibile abilitare i canali per la funzione Scan cambiando il valore in Yes. In tal modo la radio, se accesa con la manopola superiore precedentemente impostata sul canale 16 (ultima posizione) esegue dopo circa 10-15 secondi la scansione automatica dei canali per la ricerca dei segnali radio attivi in ricezione, segnalata dal led lampeggiante in colore verde. Altra nota dolente è il manuale con una traduzione incomprensibile persino in inglese. Meglio guardare qualche video su Youtube, ce ne sono almeno quattro in lingua italiana. Li ricomprerei.

Great value walkie talkie. Using them on a building site.

Producto que no es caro y funciona muy, muy bien. Lo recomiendo. Reparto muy serio

Semble de très bonne qualité, pour un prix correct. (distance +- 2 km) Le produit est TRES TRES bien conçu (et dans les petits détails), simple, très bien étudier, ergonomique, poids léger, (éviter l'eau !!!). Accessible à tous. Qualité de son = TB++. Pas trop grand et pas trop petit = parfait dans une main "standard" :)) Simple à utiliser , mais pas encore réussi à utiliser le mode "VOC" un peu complexe, mais quand on trouve la solution, = . Manuel d'utilisation multi langues très explicite et très complet. . . . . . je recommande cet article pour les intéressés. Bref, TRES surpris et SATISFAIT, ! A voir la longévité !

- Bra kvalité - Bra räckvidd för att vara licensfritt - Stadig och snygg design - Bra tillbehör - Snabb leverans Saknar dock en programmeringskabel, anser att det borde ingå. Dock är de så billiga att man lika gärna kan köpa till, så det räknas inte som en negativ aspekt på själva produkten.
