Retevis sent me the Retevis RA25 for a Black Friday Promotion. I did not feel comfortable with a review at the time. Over the past month, I have worked with Retevis and we came up with one or two solutions to the RA25 for people looking to have a GMRS radio that cannot mistakenly transmit out of band. This is the amazon link to the retevis radio - RA25: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NWMDMST . It should be noted this is a Retevis Affiliate link, I don't make commissions off this . This is the Retevis website link to the radio - https://www.retevis.com/ra25-20w-gmrs-mobile-radio-us My new, modified GMRS codeplug is located here: https://www.hamradiodude.com/retevis-ra25/ ************************************* I did a little spoof of @TheNotaRubicon 's intro (in good humor). I suggest if you want to know about GMRS, you watch his videos; as he has tested plenty of radios and has way more knowledge on GMRS. https://www.youtube.com/@TheNotaRubicon https://notarubicon.com/gmrs-frs-murs-frequency-lists ******************************************* Other Links: A portion of this video was sponsored by: https://Shop.73qrz.com https://fccid.io/T4K-779UV/Internal-Photos/Internal-Photos-4955980 https://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/GMRS https://www.rightchannelradios.com/blogs/newsletters/gmrs-radio-frequencies-and-channels *********************************************** No hate with Modifications here or opening your radio, but there are some people who wish to keep the radio locked down, and I understand why. This is what I've done to try to make the GMRS Experience, a little more friendly .
