DaveGOOD RadioReviewed on Aug 30,2022I received the radio, fine. I am using it for amateur radio. I find the over all feel of the radio very good. The receive audio is very good with good sensitivity and plenty of volume. It has easy to navigate menus on its clear to read display. The broadcast radio is a useful addition and works well with good audio.JGRetevis RA685 defiantly worth buying..Reviewed on May 09,2022I love the ra685 it sounds almost as good as my $180 Wouxun. The PTT button feels real really good but.......one thing is it does have a very sensitive PTT button I mean waaaay too sensitive, barely touch it and its transmitting. Bright clear screen. Battery life is ok, would be nice if they sold extra batteries.. or larger mah batteries. side USB charging is nice just the rubber flap doesn't stay closed all the time, easily lifts up just brushing you finger past it so not really splash resistant. If they made an 10 watt version of this radio would be nice :) over all the ra685 is defiantly worth buying..FrancisLittle great radioReviewed on May 05,2022The build quality and functionality of this radio are amazing and very easy to program. It fits comfortable in the hand and its very light to carry. The autonomy the battery has is capable to last a good number of hours. The cost effectiveness versus capability is Great. Technically it can take everything in the field.FrancisThe hand held RA 685 is light and agronomical to handleReviewed on Apr 29,2022I just purchased the Retevis RA 95 and the Retevis RA 685. Both radios performed well. I was amazed of the build quality and functionality these radios possess. Very easy to program and handy to use. The hand held RA 685 is light and agronomical to handle, while the RA 95’s microphone Is so comfortable and fits perfectly in the hand with ease of use. In my opinion both transceivers were designed to reach their expectation and function as intended.Baraton JérômeMieux que Baofeng UV-5RReviewed on Apr 13,2022Pas mal du tout le matériel de Retevis. Je pense que la qualité est meilleure que Baofeng uv5r. Perso je ne suis pas déçu à ce jour. On verra à plus long terme. C’était très sympa les images à la campagne durant les tests.BreakingPint MediaThey perform very well for their rated power output and price!Reviewed on Mar 26,2022I've had a pair of the RA85 (same hardware but GMRS-centric firmware...doesn't allow Tx'ing on 2m or non-GMRS 70cm frequencies...only Rx) for a few months and they are fantastic radios for the price. They perform very well for their rated power output and price!Lewis30+ Mile Range Beginner Two-Way RadioReviewed on Mar 26,2022Show the performance in the video.Callum McCormickGood Range & Good AduioReviewed on Dec 18,2021I like its buttons. The buttons feel sturdy, sometimes you can tell a design if these sorted volume knobs wobble a bit and there isn't any wobble on there so it feels like it's nicely tight designed I'll tell what I liked about it the only thing I've got to point is that I liked the PTT. It comes with a charger with a USB because it' would be nice if you can charge this without having to rely on the charger. I played a hide-and-seek game with my buddy to test its range.What I reckon is that actually the audio quality was genuinely very good. Honestly I was quite surprised. I haven't done repeater work with it or anything.
