The Retevis P1 and Retevis RT29 are both construction radios, how do I make the best choice?

Many teams tend to get confused when it comes to picking a construction walkie talkie. This is because when they are choosing a building walkie-talkie, they not only have to consider the price factor, but also the features of the walkie-talkie and how well it will work in different scenarios. Together, these factors complicate the selection process.

Retevis customers are no exception to this confusion. To help you make a better choice, this article will explain in detail how to choose between two high-powered building radios, the Retevis P1 and the Retevis RT29, by comparing them.

Before we start exploring how to choose between these two radios, we need to understand what the differences are between them.

First of all, in terms of system, the RT29 is a high power analog, while the P1 is a DMR digital. In addition, the RT29 has an upgraded version, the RT29D, which is a DMR walkie-talkie.

Secondly, in terms of waterproof performance, RT29 provides both IP54 and IP67 versions for users to choose, while P1 only has IP54 version. This means that RT29 performs better in terms of waterproof and dustproof, and is able to adapt to harsher environments.

In terms of battery, Retevis RT29 is equipped with a high-capacity 3200mAh battery, while P1 is equipped with a 2500mAh battery. However, the Retevis P1 supports Type-C charging, which provides users with more charging convenience.

Moving on to the features, the Retevis RT29 is a classic business walkie-talkie that focuses on the call function. While the Retevis P1, as a digital radio, is capable of more functions, such as recording, over-the-horizon reception, etc. The Retevis P1 is also an over-the-horizon walkie-talkie, with a built-in single-frequency repeater function, as well as stand-alone work function, etc.

With the different functions and design features mentioned above, we can see that Retevis RT29 and Retevis P1 are each suitable for building scenarios.

Retevis RT29 has a business-like design, rugged waterproof and dustproof materials, and a high-capacity 3200mAh battery. In addition, Retevis RT29 also has a VHF version, which is suitable for more open construction environments, such as construction sites, warehouses, forests and other scenes.

The Retevis P1, on the other hand, as an superhet radio receiver, has a single-frequency repeater function, recording function, and lone work function, and even supports Type-C charging. These features make the Retevis P1 more suitable for high-quality conversations in confined spaces. The super-aberration reception function enhances anti-interference capability and ensures signal stability. The high power and single-frequency repeater functions, on the other hand, help to realize long-distance conversations. The work-alone function is for the safety consideration of personal work in confined space. Therefore, the P1 is more suitable for property teams, office complexes and confined scenarios with more serious interference.

Conclusion

In summary, if your team needs to work in an open and less confined architectural environment and doesn't need too many extra features, then the Retevis RT29 would be ideal for you.
Conversely, if you need to work in a confined building environment with a lot of interference and need more features to operate to ensure call quality, then we recommend the Retevis P1.

Finally, we also need to recognize that building environments are varied, ranging from open to closed building environments. Different environments have different requirements for walkie-talkies. Therefore, when selecting a walkie-talkie, it is important to make a choice based on the actual working environment and needs.
