Retevis RT22S

SKU: MTF-Rad-Ret-RT22S-001

Made by Retevis, a Chineese radio company, these little radios are actually of quite decent quality and can take quite a beating.

Advantages to this radio (aside from its low cost) is its small size, and long battery life. This makes it a #1 pick for most businesses and families due to its resilience when dropped, slammed, or rained on, and because if it is to become damaged beyond operation, the replacement cost is so low.

Disadvantage would be the radio and/or battery seems to survive only around 2 years of daily moderate-heavy use (heat exposure in vehicles, dropping, dust and dirt), but that's fine in an environment where you expect employees to often damage equipment anyway.

Includes 2 radios, 2 belt clips, 2 charger cables (power only Mini USB), and 1 power adapter (with 2 USB ports).

The belt clip is very convenient, fast and easy to use, and is relatively tough but is breakable should you get a good snag on a vine or cable.

While this radio is quite reliable, cirtainly the best of the Chineese radios we have seen, they are not as reliable as other big name brands in our experiance, and should not be used for emergency services. We have also noticed the battery life (when used every day and left in hot vehicles) is only about 2 years, however at this time replacement batteries are less then $7.

Note: If using the seperate drop-charger, the belt clip must be off the radio, and that charger is also powered by Mini USB.


Programming:

Basic: Radio is programmed with GMRS/FRS (walkie-talkie) frequencies, with or without a privacy code to limit interference. These would work with many other walkie-talkies.

Custom: Provide us with the frequencies / PL codes (or channels) you would like in your radio, as well as other settings. The programming cost is ONCE per order per program. Example: 20 radios with 2 different types of programming will be 2 programming charges.


New to programmable radios?

These radios can operate on frequencies in the UHF band, including GMRS and FRS (what regular walkie-talkies use). Many businesses and emergency services also operate in this frequency range.

Feel free to ask us about programming options.

GENERAL
Channels: 32
Modulation: FM (F3E)
Bandwidth: 12.5KHz & 25KHz
Power Source: 3.7VDC
Antenna: Integrated 1.8dBi
Accessory Port(s): Kenwood 2-Pin
Charge Port(s): USB Mini A F & Proprietary Connection for Drop Charger
Audio Manipulation: Standard & Beat Shift Voice Inversion Scrambler

RANGE
Theoretical Range (LoS): 0.5-2 miles
Theoretical range is provided by the manufacturer and is based on Line of Sight, where there is nothing in-between both radios.
Tested Range (in Center): .38 miles
Tested range is what we tested in Center Moriches. We often go to a near by park with woods but fairly even terrain.
We consider the limit to be when it is too difficult to understand eachother.
