Review and range test of the Retevis RT45P & RT645P walkie talkie. This is another Motorola T80 / T82 look-alike from Retevis, but how well does it perform?

Retevis have really ventured into different styles of radios in the last year or two. Gone are their plain black radios with the metal plate behind the battery. We now have a choice of styles, colours, IP ratings and functionality. Are the new radios as good as the old though? In my experience, it seems to be a bit of a gamble, with some of the new style radios being great performers and others being a bit of a letdown.
Retevis RT45P Features:
• 16 channels with 121 Privacy Codes (CTCSS/DCS)
• VOX function for handsfree operation
• IP67 Waterproof (tested to 1m for 30 minutes)
• Dual-Channel Watch Feature
• 10 Call Tones to Allow
• Clear Always On LCD Display
• Room Monitor Function
• Built-in LED torch
• SOS Siren to attract attention
• USB-C Charging
The RT45P is, overall, a nice radio to use with excellent audio clarity and lovely build quality. It’s not without its problems, though.
‪@CB-RADIO-UK‬ did a range test on these and got much better performance. It really shows that PMR446 is massively dependent on your surroundings, elevation and the type of stone you're asking the signal to penetrate.

Motorola are Quality. I always look for ease of use . Battery (easy to buy ). Aerial adapter (if you want to ) Etc etc (Funny little review on whistle TD 😆

I would love to see how the Retevis performs when compared to the Motorola T80 that it clearly draws inspiration from. Bringing in the XT420 was insightful, you get what you pay for I guess. But as you mentioned the RT45P isn't meant for the same kind of applications as the XT420.

I have both the Motorolas and the 45p, and they had the same range in my tests. Of course here in the US our radios have 2 watts (in reality they test out at 1.5 watts, just like the Motorolas). And my whistle handles actually sort of kind of work. Are the Retevis units as good as the Motorolas? No, not really. But the Motorolas cost twice as much, and they really aren’t twice as good. I would say that the Retevis provides about 85% of what the Motorolas provide. I take groups out in kayaks and use these radios to help everyone in touch without yelling and scaring the wildlife. The Retevis perform this task just as well as the Motorolas. Sitting in a kayak the range for any FM signal is about 1.5-2 miles before the Earth gets in the way. Over water the Retevis radios have no problem reaching out that far.

What do you recommend for open waters use. Like kitesurfing, hands free?

@wisteela 2 года назад

I've been wondering if ones with the 0-121 privacy codes match the Motorolas. I've got Floureon FC200s like that, and it would be great if there was some kind of standard. 73 M7TUD

I've just subsribed. Are you able to reccomend a pair of walkie-,talkies better than Cobra microtalk?

@blue_jm Год назад

Only place to put the lanyard is around the belt clip. So far I haven't been able to make the whistle make any sound either so yeah take your emergency whistle with you.

USB-C is a highly versatile port, on computers for example the same port can charge the device, pass display audio and all other peripheral signals you could wish for, so it is very normal to have the USB-C also work as a headset port on a walkie talkie. I only wish that the charging cable would be USB-C on both ends, given that it is USB-A on the other end means that this cable is not going to be able to charge at high speeds, i doubt anyway that the walkie talkies have fast charging, but if I were to use that cable for charging two other devices they wouldn't charge very quickly, given that this cable is probably rated for 12 watts (divided by 2) at 5 volts, 2.4 amps.

My gripe with these radios is you can’t really lower the volume on the beeps it makes when you push the buttons. It is LOUD even on the lowest setting.

@thebigcarri 11 месяцев назад

You can actually turn the beeps off within the settings.

@thunderbear0 10 месяцев назад

Thats why you go for 2 watt 0.5watt sucks in long range developed areas

@davejones4202 2 года назад

When you press SOS button and alarm button does it ring on the other radio would be happy if someone answer me thank you

@The_editor28 2 года назад

Yes it does

Everything you tests near your home is going to provide sub par results. They dont work well in areas like that, they are made to be used out in nature where there arent signals coming from every direction.

Is the antenna changeable?

@spig021 2 года назад

Not only was the signal inferior on the Retevis, but the audio was quiet too making the speech unintelligible.

@azarelthecreator7098 11 месяцев назад

This is what happens when you test these things outside of your house in a developed area. They will always perform poorly, its not the environment they are made to work in. Take them out into nature away from a developed area and that quality will jump drastically.
