Retevis Two-Way Radios: Trusted by Outdoor Experts
For 10 years, Retevis has been designing reliable two-way radios for adventurers. We partnered with the Ranger Program to test our gear in real-world scenarios. Rangers across the U.S.—from the deserts of Utah to the mountains of California—have praised the durability, long battery life, clear communications, and NOAA weather alerts of Retevis Ailunce radios. Here’s how they perform in action.
Kayaking: Stay on Top of the Weather
Ranger Daniel puts the Ailunce HA1UV 5W UHF VHF Dual Band radio to the test during a kayaking trip at Lewisville Lake State Recreation Area. The NOAA Weather Scan feature becomes his go-to tool for planning routes and avoiding risks. “It instantly locks onto the local weather forecast,” he says. By clipping the HA1UV to his life jacket and using a Retevis monitoring headset, Daniel stays connected to his family eight miles away. Even without cell service? No problem communicating.
Off-road: Always-on communications
Ranger Jenny relied on the Ailunce HA1G 5W GMRS radio while exploring Moab’s rugged Horsethief Campground. Her group traversed the rugged jeep trails with ease, using the radios to coordinate between vehicles. “These work better than CB radios,” she noted. The HA1G is rugged, powerful, and keeps her group connected even in the backcountry.
Group camping: Backcountry safety
At Silver Bowl Campground in California, Ranger Darin used the Ailunce HA1UV 5W UHF VHF Dual Band radio to stay connected during a 3-day fishing and hiking trip. “In the backcountry, communication is critical,” he said. The radios proved essential for emergencies and last-minute check-ins. Darin’s conclusion? “These are now essential camping gear.”
Solo Expeditions: Prepare Smartly
Ranger Kayla traveled solo to Rose Creek Retreat in Washington with the Ailunce HA1UV 5W UHF VHF Dual Band radio. Facing swarms of mosquitoes, she uses NOAA Weather Scan to skip the tent's rain cover on clear nights. "It gives me the confidence to sleep under the stars," she shares. The HA1UV's compact design and weather updates make her solo trips safer and stress-free.
