Although I’ve yet to test the range, I’ve tried them at close proximity, and, up to now, the sound quality appears to be excellent.
As for charging, using an iPhone charger, the radios didn’t take long at all, but I’ve yet to test battery stamina too.
Anyway, the units are solid and will surely withstand a drop test, they fit snugly into the charging cradles and, thus far, are just what we need for our camping trips.
Even though some say the belt clip is difficult to fit, it’s not that bad. All you need is a small screwdriver and a bit of patience. However, I can’t decide whether I actually need the belt clips or not, as it makes the radios less comfortable in one’s hand.
And so, my conclusion is that these radios are well worth the price. Once I’ve tested them properly, I’ll let you know the outcome.
Gesucht wurde ein stabiles wertiges Handfunkgert mit ordentlicher Leistung. Vorab sei gesagt, das der Betrieb dieses Gertes in Deutschland nur fr lizenzierte Funktamateure oder Inhaber einer Betriebsfunklizenz gestattet ist. Dort wo die Gerte jedoch bentigt werden ist es…sagen wir mal gelinge…egal. Dort zhlt in der Weite nur die Kommunikation. Und die hat das Gert drauf. Genutzt wird es innerhalb eines Gebudekomplexes. Ausseneinstze sind weniger zu empfehlen, da das Gert nicht wasserfest/wasserdicht ist. Fr den avisierten Einsatzort sind diese jedoch perfekt. Die Programmierung war simpel und schnell durchgefhrt. Das entsprechende Programm kann direkt kostenfrei von der Herstellerseite heruntergeladen werden. Die Rauschunterdrckung arbeitet hervorragend. Generell haben die Gerte einen sehr guten Klang. Lediglich der Lautstrkeregler ist etwas zu leichtgngig…ist aber auch Geschmackssache. Fazit: Es ist kein Motorola…aber fr gut ein Viertel des Motorolapreises ist es ein echt sehr gutes Handfunkgert mit ordentlich Dampf!
I ordered these to keep for the inevitable SHTF situation that we’re long overdue in the western world. Like most radios imported from China, the default channels don’t align with our legal PMR frequencies, and the radios exceed the UK’s power limit of 0.5w (these are 10w) but realistically, who’s going to enforce this when it’s every man for himself?! Anyway, I tested a pair of RB85’s tonight in a standard British suburban area at varying stages, with assorted obstacles and interference increasing every step of the way. My partner sat in the house in the living room and I just went out walking! I began to lose transmissions at 0.9 miles, by which time I’d crossed a river, two fields, two railway lines, hundreds of houses, a church and an enormous Tesco Express next to a 4G phone mast. Needless to say, I was VERY impressed! Transmission clarity started out at 10/10 and decreased to a 5/10 at the furthest point. YouTubers seem to give it the big ‘un suggesting these radios will transmit for anywhere between 3-10 miles… Perhaps in open, flat land within line of sight of one another. For a realistic, standard urban test, this performance blew me away – I haven’t seen anything that will touch this, but then again given their power level, perhaps that’s not surprising. It’s just a shame the batteries aren’t interchangeable with AA’s for real emergencies and increased longevity. Otherwise, these are well worth the price!
Excellent radios. Once programmed to legal frequencies. Excellent transmit and receive audio.
Base chargers are OK and easy to drop the radios into them. Don’t stand in the holder unless charging if you stand it towards the front it is extremely unstable and will fall out at the slightest knock.Download the programming software or use the latest version of Chirp. I think the Retevis software is better.
Standard Baofeng type interface lead works very well.
Power output measured as per specification.
Only two letdowns
1 Appalling instruction manual poorly written and tells you nothing that’s of any use.
2 Belt clip is a pain in the rear to fit onto the radio, but once fitted it’s very good.
In my opinion overall excellent value for money. The five stars are for its performance.
