Retevis RT27 License Free Walkie Talkie - Surprising Features! 

Thanks for watching 👍

Sorry that you are broke. Check around to find out where the nearest Amateur Radio Club is in your area. Many of them are giving free Baofeng UV-5R walkie talkies to people who take a class with them and pass their FCC Technician License. (assuming you are in the US) Even if you can’t find a club that provides this service, that particular radio only costs $25.00. The radio in this video is for the non license radio service, meaning that it is low power and the antenna is fixed and non removable. This can be used for camping and hiking and similar activities. If you get the amateur license you can talk at much greater distances and with more power.

I find that the sensitivity is not to good for distance communication; they just cannot be heard.

Yes, the RT667 is superb

Try Hubnet, 145.687. Hopefully you have a repeater near you which is enabled for Hubnet, otherwise you will need a "hotspot" Once you've set it up, you can talk through your radio to others all around the world; I chatted to a VK2 near Canberra a couple of days ago. It IS cheating, because it uses VOIP, internet protocol to talk to others, but you soon forget that!

@Jeff Boogers Sorry to heat you have not had a very good experience so far. May I ask what country/area you live in? Maybe we can figure out a way for you to find some contacts :)

Thanks mate, but never mind. I seriously tried for the last few years and now totally gave up. Zello is even more fun and clearer. And in case of the zombie apocalypse, I still have my anytone 878, and might get the icom IC SAT 100 and that gsm/uhf hybrid phone (forgot the name).

lol ham radios.... Just get yourself a liscence free samsung galaxy thats world wide communication and internet access and much more.

Cheers!

There’s no need for a shift function in this case because the TX and RX frequency is being manually specific. A shift would normally be used if only programming an RX frequency.

Not all of it is crap

@@TechMindsOfficial If you don't mind buying 3 or 4 since they are cheap and throw away them as they fail, no problem. The issue is QUALITY and RELIABILITY. There are *absolutely* scores of people with reviews that showcase the complete *grabbag of problems* that the cheap chinese junk has - it simply comes with the cheap price tag. Its all about high volume and low quality to get the price down. If you don't mind low quality and poor reliability, then you can always justify 'well I got it cheap !!' and yes you did; but for situations where you need it for reliability and simply cannot tolerate constant failures and shoddy workmanship, then its time to pony up more money. Moreover, its always apparent that the quality of signal in receiver sensitivity, selectivity, and overall power conversion efficiency is better from well known, decades proven companies (American, Japanese, and European) that will not trade off quality and reliability simply as their reputation cannot afford to lose customers ! With cheap chineese junk its all about volume sales and they can lost hundreds of thousands of customers since they are selling MILLIONS.

And the device you are typing this on is probably produced in China !

T bailey this one has 16 but it’s the UK version.

@@TechMindsOfficial ok cool thank youb

Great video btw love my set

I didn’t do a distance test as terrain will make a difference and will vary for every user, so there’s no point seeing how far 500mw can go in open space. Hope that makes sense :)

@@gnuclur8952 Bit of dickhead comment mate.

@Greg Fox, well the video was about the radios, not how far 500mw on NFM can travel. I’m sure you’re NOT lazy enough to go try this yourself!

@@TechMindsOfficial isnt the effective distance part of the Review? I havent got the Sets ,hence watching your Vid, would have been a bit of a Misguidance if Radios were only cpl Houses apart

The distance in the actual test was around 500 meters, across an open field. The outside test was more for audio quality while out in the open, which is why I never mentioned distance in the video. However, if enough people want to see some range tests I’ll gladly do another video on ranges. :)

Where ? What country are you in ? In the US the GMRS walkie talkie license is for 5 watt radios. Amateur walkie talkies which are 5 watts require a license with a test.
