Recently, Retevis recently launched a new ham radio - HD2. This Ailunce HD2 is an upgraded version of HD1. As two popular products in the walkie-talkie market, Retevis HD1 and Retevis HD2 each have unique functions and advantages. This article will conduct an in-depth comparative analysis of these two products from aspects such as functions to price.
HD2 is optimized in detail on the basis of HD1, and it can be seen from the appearance that it is a series of its own. Based on the summary of HD1, the knob-damping effect of HD2 is better, which can better prevent accidental touching and switching channels. An alarm button is added above the machine. PTT has also taken protective measures to prevent accidental contact when placed in a backpack or pocket.
