- The Retevis RT95 is a compact and easy to use dual band HAM radio that can also be expanded to cover GMRS frequencies. This makes the radio versatile for emergency situations. Also, I added a 12v cigar lighter port adapter so that the radio can easily be moved from one vehicle to another. At 25 watts max power it seems to work fine being powered by my 12v port in my Prius. The screen is easy to read in all lighting conditions and all controls are intuitive and easy to use. Audio is loud and clear both receiving signals and transmitting. For the money it’s hard to top this radio. I’ve used radios that were twice the price and not as good an overall package as this RT95.

l've been a licensed ham for over 50 years and have purchased hundreds (yes hundreds!) of VHF and UHF rigs. In my opinion this little radio is a great rig with clean output and superb audio both on transmit and receive. -C5FCC
I agree. For the money they are hard to top!
passed my tech on friday. now im looking into affordable radios, this radio is on the list. good video. thanks
It's a god option. Also see: www.areaguides.com/gmrs
Very satisfied with mine. And it works perfectly with Chirp.
I've had one for three weeks now in the shack. I was skeptical, as it is a rebranded Anytone AT-778UVii , and my previous experiences with Anytone were disasters. But I needed a cheap 25 watt rig for the shack and go box, and thought "why not?" Frankly, I'm amazed at how good it is. TX and RX audio are top shelf. The front end can get overloaded in metro areas, but not as bad as many Chinese rigs. Construction is top notch. It punches above its weight class in both durability and performance. If this was my $400 Yaesu, I might have nitpicks, but for a $100 rig, it's a real bargain.
I agree!
@@MidAtlanticTVwhat would be a good antenna to pair with this in the vehicle? Amazon offers an option for radio and antenna.
@@dustinjohnson2116 I have a Larson antenna and it’s really nice.
@@MidAtlanticTV ok where is that ordered from?
@@dustinjohnson2116 I got mine from www.dxengineering.com/
I just ordered one of these. Amazon did not tell me it was shipping from Hong Kong lol. Can't wait. Was on sale for $109.99
Had mine for about 4 years and i love it
Have one myself. Love it. Great little radio.
It sure is!
VERY well done. Well explained! Subbed!👏🇨🇮🇵🇸
I was on the fence about buying it. I think I'm sold. Thanks!
It’s a nice radio.
Great and thorough video, thank you!
Muito Bom esse Rádio. Tenho um AT-778UV VOX. Estou gostando muito dele....
Band width is the channel spacing; 25K (Wide Band) 20K(Middle Band) 12.5K (Narrow band). Entirely depends on your use case. GMRS has a mix of 20k and 12.5k
Brilliant description,thank you. Rick, G7VNK.
Glad you liked it. I still use the radio and it works great. Very good value.
I received this radio from my wife as a Xmas gift. I currently have this antenna “Authentic Genuine Nagoya UT-72 Super Loading Coil 20-Inch Magnetic Mount (Heavy Duty) VHF/UHF (144/430Mhz) Antenna PL-259, Includes Additional SMA Adaptor for BTECH and BaoFeng Handheld Radios. Which I use with my DB25G. Will this antenna work with my RT95? TIA. 73!
Just bought one (yet to be delivered) AUD$164 via eBay and an Australian address. Looking forward to getting it.
I’m sure you will like it!
Great video! But I do have a quick question. When changing from GMRS to ham frequencies, do you lose the programmed frequencies?
No. You can just add the HAM frequencies.
When you hit P6 for volume and then adjust the knob to the proper volume, will it remember that you hit P6 last or do you have to hit P6 every time you want to adjust the volume? That would seem like a real pain instead of just being able to simply turn a knob every time. Thanks.
It remembers.
In the software you can enter Ham radio and GMRS repeaters with no problems being cause to transmitting and receiving?
Any chance this thing can listen (RX only) to Air Band?
Not sure.
I'm trying to get it to communicate with chirp on a Mac also... and no luck. What a pain...
Yep I couldn’t do it. Let us know if you figure it out!
Just got mine but I didn't order it with the antenna that they had with it. I wanted to ask what would be a good antenna choice for my vehicle?
Larsen makes good antennas.
How do you adjust SWR on the antennas?
That depends on the antenna.
@@MidAtlanticTV I was figuring on a Nagoya 770 or a Bingfu. Neither seems to have an adjustable whip, though.
Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks.

You don't. This isn't CB...
I just got this radio for my car and love it. However, WHY does the VFO shortcut NOT work if the settings are saved to display channel name? I'd much rather see Channel x, etc instead of the frequently for FRS channels.
If I set it to freq or name, it works fine, but still displays 1-22 as the frequency instead of actual name? Really not a fan of this at all. Any idea what's happening why I can't save as channel name on display if I want to use VFO at all?
Hi, how do you power it at home?, thanks
A 12 volt power supply.
@@MidAtlanticTV what connectors, forgive me, I am new to this
@@RobSolid you might need to get some help from somebody who knows about electricity.
Or a LiFePO4 battery. Anderson Powerpoles for connections
@@v0n1b0 Good idea!
What’s the output power on gmrs
I’m not sure. Maybe 20 Watts??
You said P1 when you actually held P4?
Sorry.
What do you use to power it from home?
Just a 12 V power supply.
Very noisy audio ... i hear both receiver noise (distortion) ... and also noise from the audio- amplifier ... not good.
To bad no one wants to fix the radio when it stops working..
So far mine is working.
