Toby AlcoserWould buy again.Reviewed on Feb 04,2025The build is rugged and does not feel like a toy. Programing is not the easiest but it’s manageable. Probably get another one and make a repeater out of them.JimGreat performanceReviewed on Feb 04,2025this is a great radio. Measured : 40 watts out .A great radio for a base as i use it and a sturdy looking mobile . The manual again.. is almost useless.davidoSounds great, transmits really well, works with CHIRP, has a few quirks that are easy to work with.Reviewed on Jan 26,2025I bought this radio based on price, power, compatibility with CHIRP, and functionality. I researched a lot of options, and there are many reasonable options. This one happened to hit the sweet spot for me.LickRA87Reviewed on Jan 25,2025GREAT LITTLE RADIO AND ACTUALLY PUTS OUT MORE THAN 40 WATTSPlaceholderGreat radio, great company!Reviewed on Jan 18,2025I received the Retevis RA87 40watt, something was wrong with it, Retevis replaced that radio in 2 days. The new mobile radio works great, it's got great features and comes with easy to read instructions. I will be reviewing more Retevis products on YouTube!Charles GatchellBest mobile and repeater radio on the marketReviewed on Jan 14,2025I highly recomment this radio especiall for mobile use because it is built to handle off road uses. The spect seem to be very reliable and Retevis offers excellent technical support for their products. I own 4 of the RA87 radiosRF154Retevis RA 87Reviewed on Jan 12,2025Good radio, signal reports were good into a repeater some twenty five miles away. No problems with the features of the radio with the exception of RF power output which was not as advertised when measured by a meter into a dummy load.Samuel BootheGreat FunctionalityReviewed on Jan 01,2025The Retevis RA87 is exactly what is says it will do in performance. I am well satisfied. I specifically like the three different power settings. The size is perfect, the quality seems superior. I will recommend this make and model.CoreyGreat PurchaseReviewed on Oct 01,2024I was skeptical purchasing this on Amazon. I got the kit with the fiberglass antenna. Long story short I am hitting a repeater 48 miles away in the mountains of Virginia. Took me a little bit to get the repeater dialed in with the RA87 software and CHIRP but finally got it due to my incompetence. This in my opinion gets a 5 star. Just bought the RMB90F dual band base station hope it works just as well.Dave OswaldGreat sensitivity, sounds very good, a few strange shortcuts, Chirp compatibleReviewed on Jun 22,2024This is an inexpensive yet very effective GMRS radio. Here is what you can expect: 100 channels on the left bank, 100 channels on the right bank. Chirp compatibility / programability with cable included. Good scanning capability. Squelch knob or per-channel squelch programming. Low/High power selected from front panel. High power output reaches 40w in the 462.xxxx frequencies, and about 28w in the 467.xxxx frequencies (repeater inputs). Signal reports from a repeater 63 miles away from me state that I sound great, full quieting, minimal background static, rich voice. The speaker is loud, I can even hear it in my old Bronco with the windows down and the oversized exhaust rumbling away. You can *listen* on any frequency from 400MHZ to 480MHZ (transmit only on GMRS frequencies, of course). Channels can be named up to 6 characters. Potential things that will be confusing: Even the newer version of the manual is a little unclear in some respects. Strange translations. Frequency call-out feature is confusing to set and use. Front panel power selection only offers low/high, but Chirp offers L, L2, L3, M, and H (and they all work correctly). Every channel is preprogrammed with a different CTCSS or DCS tone. Why? Channel selector knob sometimes doesn't register clicks if you turn it fast (not a problem, just strange firmware behavior). But in the end, you get a high powered (nearly 40w) GMRS radio with fast scanning, 200 memory channels, repeater compatibility, great sound quality.
