Retevis RT49 Hi Power Family GMRS, wetterfestes, lizenzfreies Walkie-Talkie-Radio, 2er-Pack

Recomiendo este producto para quienes buscan, es tal como lo dice la descripción

Dicen que son impermeables pero después de mojarse se les baja el volumen y tienes que esperar a que sequen para que vuelvan a funcionar correctamente (para mí no funcionaron los quería para mis jet skis, todo el tiempo se están mojando) talvez para un uso menos rudo trabajen mejor

Great radios, I love the battery pack or disposable battery option

I have used these a few times now while camping. I have an autistic son who is is Boy Scouts and can get extremely over whelmed in new places. This has allowed me to give him more freedom since he is getting older with having to hover over him. He feels safe knowing I am just a push of the button away from him. The water proof aspect also works well for us since he is still a young boy that is rough on everything.

I have owned these for about a year now. My wife and I use them on our jet skis where they regularly get wet and have submerged on occasion in salt water. All things considered, they have held up well, but they are definitely degrading. Audio quality is not as good as it was and at long ranges (beyond visual) you cant make out anything, but if they're relatively close, (within a half mile) the quality is still intelligible. Also if they get wet, the light will blink and it cannot be turned off, which is at times annoying, though the buoyancy has kept us from loosing them a couple times. They've also started having trouble charging, where the charger pins wont make good contact.Overall I would recommend them, as they have served well, but if I had to replace them I may see about other options.

These were alot better than using our phones. They worked all over the larger ski mountains in New England with little to no issues reaching each other. For the price and ability, they work great and I dont care if they break or get lost. Overall good product.

bought them for a flat water kayak trip and the range was dismal, barely 50 yards across a open lake. not worth the money in my opinion.

The battery life is great however the sound clarity is terrible. We tested different distances trying to trouble shoot but didn’t have much luck. They are light weight.

These waterproof and floating radios are loud, easy to use, perfect for kayaking with family and friends, or just around the pool deck. The only con is a micro usb vs usb-c. However because they come with the charging cradle, just leave it plucked in and drop the radios in.

For the money they work well. A lot of good features. Able to talk to other brand radios just fine. We used them in the Gulf of Mexico while swimming to talk to family on the beach. The radios were submerged often. The only issue we encountered was the mic holes would have to be blown out from time to time so we could be heard when talking. Battery life seems good as we charged every nught but they were never more than half dead. The NOAA radio has somewhat weak reception but I don’t buy them for that feature although it could be useful.

The media could not be loaded.

Use the original batteries provided in the box, and they will float!I thought I'd be smart and use my own higher capacity batteries, but an extra 10 g of weight (two American nickels) compromises the bouyancy. My batteries added 30 g, so my radios became bricks.If you're worried about the batteries dying on a trip, buy an extra set of the originals. Be sure they're the same voltage and each weigh 20 g or less.

I purchased these for kayaking trips. The main feature I wanted was being waterproof. I had planned to purchase two more. But after using these, I held off. These can be made much better wit some simple revisions.1. The audio needs to be a bit louder. Please add some audio gain.2. The LCD display is not visible unless the backlight is on. Please replace the smoked window with a clear one.3. Add an option to disable the automatic flashlight for when it get wet. These are difficult to turn off when they get wet.Otherwise, these work well. I'll buy more when these changes are made.

Just as good as I’d expect from a more expensive item, sometimes we get interference but has performed very well. Battery dies if left off the charger, even if not being used. But those are my only complaints

I have other radios from Motorola and Midland, and the Retevis radios privacy channels, sub-codes, are not compatible with these other radios and cannot send or receive. It works between Retevis radios. However I’m in groups with friends that have their own radios and my family with other brand radios and we need to talk to each other. This is a deal breaker. I didn’t like that the LCD display turns off after a few seconds either. Confusing to tell at a glance if the radio is on or off or on the right channel. Returned to Amazon.

Over the summer my family did a lot of boating and swimming by the lake and wanted to be able to communicate between everyone out on the lake and people back at the shore. Since accidents happen, especially with kids, we wanted waterproof radios that floated. These did the trick: with the factory-installed batteries (I didn't try any others), they'd float to the surface in a freshwater lake and would function without any leaks or issues. Even with extensive submergence and being tied to a rope and dragged behind a kayak for an hour or so, there were no leaks. As a handy feature, whenever the radio is immersed in water the white flashlight lamp flashes on and off to aid in locating it even in the dark.Charging is simple: just plop them into the provided dock that you can plug into any USB power supply. Minor nitpick: the battery indicator on the radios constantly shows the "charging" animation whenever they're charging on the dock, even when the batteries are fully charged, so there's no way of knowing how full they actually are.They easily had a range of more than 4400 feet (>0.8 miles) over the lake's surface, even with one of the radios inside a house, when the radios were set to 2W of power. At that range, there was virtually no static and voices came through crystal clear. I didn't test them at 0.5 W.The user interface is simple and easy to navigate with the on-screen menu being easy to navigate. Some of the settings may not be intuitively clear as to what they do, but the manual explains them.The radios work on standard FRS frequencies and are completely compatible with other FRS radios. They support CTCSS tone and DCS code squelch (often misleading called "privacy codes", as they don't offer privacy, but allow you to only hear transmissions from others using the same tone/code), and if you set the radio to use the same channel and tone/code combination (or set the tone/code to "0" to turn it off entirely) they interoperate with any other FRS-standard radio. The tones/codes are selected from the list ranging from 0 to 121, but the manual does not specify which actual tones/codes (e.g. 127.3 Hz, or DCS223) correspond to those numeric values. After contacting Retevis and a few emails back and forth where I tried to explain exactly what I wanted to know (evidently there was some minor misunderstandings, but politeness and persistence paid off), they sent me a table showing which tones/codes match each numeric value. It turns out they use the "Common" values used by Motorola, Uniden, and many other manufacturers. You can find a table listing the Common values and what they correspond to on radios by other manufacturers by searching for "FRS/GMRS Privacy Codes Demystified".The radios are a bit bulky (since they need the extra bulk to be able to float) but my 6 and 9 year old kids were able to hold and use them with zero issues.The radios are also capable of receiving NOAA weather radio signals, which was handy, but a bit of a niche feature. They can be set to automatically switch to the weather radio signal when an alert is issued, but they don't allow one to set SAME codes or locations, so if you set them to use the weather alert then any time they receive any alert (even for one outside of your region) they'll switch to the weather radio.I tested but did not use the "SOS alarm" feature (which sounds a loud alarm, flashes a red light that is not otherwise able to be turned on, and transmits the alarm signal over the radio). The built-in white flashlight is basic and not terribly bright, but is handy if you already have the radio in-hand and don't want to fumble around for a proper flashlight.In short: for license-free FRS use where contact with or submersion in water is a possibility, these are great. I recommend them.

I bought 4 of these. I did so much research and read so many reviews. After hours of reading stats, I choose these for their waterproof and floating capabilities. I mean how bad could the range be we wasn't planning on being over a mile apart all trip ? We couldn't get a clear signal unless in a completely open area. Adding one wall or tree ruins everything. we couldn't even use them from one car to the next unless we both stepped outside the car. then the battery life OMG that's what did it for me on a 3 hour car drive on stand by using maybe 10-12 times. battery was less then half. they have a 8 hours life on all 4 of the ones I got, no matter how long i charge them. I spent too much time with them, at this point I'm too lazy to return for my 60$ refund and just gave them to the kids to struggle with in the backyard.

First off, these radios are very well built and the waterproof seals give me confidence that I can rely on these when out on river trips with a group. However, upon first use during the drive the follow vehicle had to get within 100-200 yards on the open highway (rural area, no mountains) to be able to keep a clear signal which is far below what you should expect from a set of radios... had we not been in cars you could have just yelled at that distance with the same efficacy in communication. Will test these on the river and hopefully have better results, so but far 'range anxiety' has me a little concerned

I really likethe ease of seeing display, much easier to see than some other models. I echo another reviewer who warned that you have to turn radio off prior to charging. Easy to check if radio on by just pushing the transmit key - if nothing happens, it is off. The keypad lock symbol much easier to see than other brands. And I do not seem to have weather accidentally activate with this model as used to happen with other models. Note! If you DO leave radio on and happen to hit the SOS button, the light will drain the batteries - but I think it took 2 days to do. Overall, I like radios - and I've taken swimming and they still work.

EDIT (July 16, 2021): Changed from 2 stars to 5 stars! See original review below.I had a problem turning OFF the units, but now realize the screen/display MUST BE ON AND LIT UP before pressing the Off button. That is, the display on these units goes dark quickly when in use (to save battery power, I assume), so if you have a dark screen and press the button to turn Off, it will not work properly. You MUST first light up or activate the display, THEN press to turn Off. Printed instructions could be a bit clearer as they do not mention this important detail.This is a very nice unit and worth the money.Even with brand new and excellent 2800mAh rechargeable batteries, both my new units will completely drain the batteries in just a couple of days! What?! Following the TURN OFF instructions exactly -- where the display turns off in a few seconds -- the radios apparently stay in some kind of standby mode and continue to munch away at the batteries. Why???[I will change this to *5 STARS* if a solution is found, especially if user error and no defect]

This is a solid, fairly heavy radio that fits in an adults hand well and I do like the fact that, if dropped in a pool or water, that it floats and it's tail light comes on. My only issues with it are the battery life in these isn't as good as I had hoped and the range isn't as far as my old Motorola radios were. I get static calling my sister just next door depending on where she is in her house whereas the Motorola I used to have, I could talk to her down the road from the gas station but all in all, these are good line of sight radios and work well outdoors.
