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.

UPDATE 12/30/22. When asked why people were not receiving their programming cable's, I was advised that the department who works with Amazon orders is the only department selling the GMRS radios with cables. Meaning if you purchase anywhere but the link below, you will not get a cable. Somehow three departments at retevis cannot communicate :eyeroll:. This is concerning for me and I'll probably take a step from further reviewing these products. Sorry for any trouble this caused.

This is the amazon link to the retevis radio - RA25: [ Ссылка ] . It should be noted this is a Retevis Affiliate link, I don't make commissions off this .

My new, modified GMRS codeplug is located here: [ Ссылка ] to retevis as well.

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.

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 .
