#retevis — Public Fediverse posts

@hamradio Hello Fediverse! Been playing around with the #Retevis #Aliunce #HA2. Can anyone point me to resources or help with pairing it to a Linux device for packet/APRS?

I haven’t been able to find much for this device, since the TNC was only added recently to the firmware.

#RetevisHA2 #APRS

Leider massive Probleme mit der Firma #Retevis Deutschland. Trotz Bezahlung seit 19 Tagen keine Lieferung eines Aliunce HD2 obwohl angeblich verfügbar. Die Firma reagiert nicht auf Mail oder Telefon. Ähnliche Probleme bei der Firma bekannt? #Hamradio #Amateurfunk #Handel

A bonus with activating #CTCSS *and* #tonesquelch (beware, its also possible to also set just CTCSS on TX and leave RX with no tone which may or may not be what you want) is the direct conversion RX on the #Baofeng with near 0 selectivity (these flaws are all "covered up" with DSP) no longer makes a racket when my car key fob is transmitting, as there is no CTCSS tone present to open squelch (maybe this is why #Retevis always activate it on their similarly priced radios?) #PMR446 #UHF #radio

#CTCSS and #tonesquelch coded on these #Baofeng #PMR446 using #CHIRP so they work with #Retevis sets which all have preset CTCSS and DCS activated out of the box.

Baofengs have to have this activated, or else you can transmit on the channel but the Retevis won't open squelch #radio #UHF

Any suggestions for waterproof #PMR #handset|s? The #Motorola #Talkabout #T92 looks decent and even swims, but ~€50 is steep when any random #Retevis does the same thing modulo being waterproof for ~€10.

Seems I really need waterproofing as this kind of holiday has us wet to the underwear somewhat regularly. Fun hikes, but still, I want the communication to work reliably.

New #Retevis #DMR handheld P1, superhet, should be nice. https://www.retevis.com/p1-high-power-superhet-aes256-uhf-dmr-walkie-talkie-eu #hamradio

Another #Retevis #PMR clone, again a new format of the codeplug. So once again some reverse engineering. https://b4d.sablun.org/blog/2024-01-30-hacking-retevis-b63s-aka-b3s/ #hamradio #ham #hack #radio

In this video I bring my #Retevis #RT43 along for some work at the cabin to find out if it's a good radio to have around here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8OzwnPKJRk

I brought a small #retevis #rt43 handset out hiking. Will it survive? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAWLTfsJCg0

Neues Gadget wenn ich mal wieder Endpunkte am Patchfeld durchprobieren muss.

(Auf Kanal 4 scheinen gerade ein paar Handwerker um die Ecke zu sein)

Has anyone install #OpenRTX #firmware on a #Retevis #RT3s to use it for #M17 ?

Who else running #OpenMDUV380 on their #Retevis #RT3s? I am enjoying it on mine as I do with #OpenGD77 on my #Radioddity #GD-77
