6 Reasons Farmers Are Switching to Retevis Mobile Two-Way Radios
Farming is a demanding profession where communication can mean the difference between efficiency and chaos. From coordinating harvests to responding to emergencies, reliable connectivity is critical. Enter Retevis Mobile Two-Way Radios—trusted by farmers nationwide for their power, simplicity, and rugged design. Here’s why agriculture professionals are making the switch:
1. Unbeatable Range for Sprawling Farms
Farm operations stretch across vast fields, barns, and equipment yards. Retevis GMRS Mobile Radios delivers up to 50+ miles of range in open terrain, ensuring everyone stays connected—whether they’re in a tractor, combine, or on foot.
CB vs. GMRS Power: CB radios max out at 4 Watts, while Retevis GMRS models like the RA87 pump out 40 watts—10x more power.
Real-World Performance: The Retevis RA86 20W GMRS radio covers 5–15 miles, while the Retevis RA87 40W Mobile Radio reaches 10–25 miles. In flat landscapes, some users report 50+ miles of clear communication.
No more shouting across fields or losing signal near grain silos.
2. Crystal-Clear Audio, Even in Noise
Between roaring tractors and bustling livestock, farm environments are loud. Retevis radios use FM modulation (vs. CB’s static-prone AM) to cut through the noise. The result? Conversations are as crisp as a car radio, ensuring instructions about first aid needs, equipment issues, or weather alerts are heard without confusion.
3. Plug-and-Play Simplicity
Farmers don’t have time for complicated setups. Retevis radios are ready to use out of the box:
No Antenna Tuning: Unlike CBs, Retevis GMRS antennas are pre-tuned—just screw them on.
Easy Power: The Retevis RA86 20W GMRS radio plugs directly into a 12V outlet (cigarette lighter). Additionally, Retevis mobile radios include pre-programmed channels, making them ready to use right out of the box.
Pre-Programmed Channels: Start communicating immediately—no tech expertise required.
4. Flexible Mounting for Any Equipment
From tractors to ATVs, Retevis radios adapt to your setup:
Magnetic Antennas: Securely attach to vehicle roofs.
NMO Connectors: Newer tractors often have built-in ports—simply unscrew the cap and connect.
Portable Frames: Move radios between vehicles effortlessly.
5. Compatible with walkie-talkies
Pair Retevis mobile units with GMRS walkie-talkies for unmatched flexibility:
The HA1G waterproof handheld syncs with RA86/RA87 base radios, letting ground crews communicate with drivers.
Share walkie-talkies with seasonal workers or veterinarians during emergencies.
6. Lifesaving NOAA Weather Alerts
When storms strike, every second counts. All Retevis GMRS radios include NOAA Weather Radio, broadcasting real-time alerts from the National Weather Service. Farmers can:
Track severe weather (tornadoes, floods) while working remotely.
Safeguard livestock and crops by acting before conditions worsen. This gives those working outside on the farm the ability to react and seek shelter if necessary.
