Scoll down for more information about this item.

Step up to a high-performance mobile radio without the high-end price. The Retevis MA1 is a powerful, full-featured dual-band mobile radio designed for amateur radio operators who demand quality and flexibility.

Its main advantage lies in its true superheterodyne circuit, which provides superior selectivity and interference rejection compared to common, lower-cost "System on a Chip" (SoC) radios. This means cleaner audio and better performance in crowded urban environments. Combined with a fully detachable front panel, this radio is the perfect choice for clean, professional installations in any vehicle.

  • 📡
    True Superheterodyne Circuit: The advanced receiver design provides superior selectivity and strong rejection of out-of-band interference, giving you clearer audio.
  • 🎧
    Wide-Band Receive with AM Air Band: More than just a ham radio. Listen to news and music on the FM broadcast band (87-108 MHz) or scan for aircraft transmissions on the AM aviation band (108-136 MHz).
  • 🖥️
    Detachable Front Panel: Mount the main radio body under a seat or in the trunk for a clean install, with just the small control head on your dash. (Separation cable included).
  • ⚡️
    Tri-Power: 50W (VHF) / 40W (UHF): Full control of your signal with High (50W/40W), Mid (25W), and Low (10W) power settings to hit distant repeaters or go easy on local ones.
  • 🔁
    Cross-Band Repeat Function: Turn your vehicle into a powerful mobile repeater. Use your handheld radio on a hike and relay its signal through the MA1's 50W of power.
  • ⌨️
    Full DTMF Backlit Keypad: The hand microphone gives you full control. Easily navigate menus, enter frequencies directly, and send DTMF commands to control repeaters or Echolink nodes.
  • 📋
    Massive 500-Channel Memory: Save every repeater in your province. Program channels with alphanumeric names for local ops, road trips, and EMCOMM, all in one radio.
