RT29D DMR radio, the upgrade of RT29. You must be familiar with the Retevis RT29 model. It is an analog-mode waterproof long-range radio. Lots of users ordered it because it's waterproof, long-range, heavy-duty with durable material, etc.
Now Retevis released the upgraded version of RT29, model RT29D. I think D means DMR because RT29D is the DMR mode two-way radio. If you don't know more about it, you may read this blog to get more information.
RT29D has 2 versions. One is built-in Bluetooth, another version is Non-Bluetooth. Now Bluetooth Walkie Talkies are really popular. Lots of users want to pair with the Bluetooth Headset to get the real Hands-free. (Means no need to touch, you may transmit)
The Bluetooth headset comes with the RT29D, and as far as I know, Retevis also has the Bluetooth Speaker Mic to be compatible with this DMR radio.
And now Bluetooth walkie-talkies are Widely used in dental clinics, school security, church security, and other places. The Bluetooth headsets have more Freedom of movement, More portable, and have No more wires.
So if you are looking for Bluetooth headphones walkie-talkie, and you also want the long-range, waterproof, RT29D will be the best choice.
Someone will ask, Is DMR better than analog?
I think the answer is Yes.
Compare Analog mode radio with DMR mode radio, analog mode two-way radio is simple.
You only need to check the channel's information like Frequency and CTCSS/DCS Codes, just make sure they are the same, and they may talk with each other.
But DMR radio has more functions.
Like group calls/private calls and all calls. You may add different members into one group, when making calls, the members in this group will all receive the signals.
And DMR radios will get better voice quality. Because the speech is digitally encoded, it will offer a clear voice even in extreme conditions.
More secure communication. We all know the simple analog mode radio only has the CTCSS/DCS codes, they will prevent unwanted signals. But if the other side turns off the codes, they will receive all the signals.
But DMR radio has an encryption function. Only the same model with the same encryption codes can transmit and receive.
RT29D has two versions of encryption. Normal and Enhanced. Normal use of 4-bit encrypted numbers or letters and Enhanced with 32-bit encrypted numbers or letters.
These two features are also a big difference from RT29.
So if you are looking for a Long-range, waterproof, clear voice, and heavy-duty walkie-talkie, RT29D will be the one you are looking for.
