⚠️ Design Notice: Not Waterproof
Please note that unlike the original RA89, the RA89R does not have a specific waterproof rating. It purposefully trades its environmental sealing to incorporate powerful new components like Bluetooth app programming and cross-band repeating capabilities. Please protect this unit from heavy rain and submersion.
Smart Programming, Unmatched Versatility.
The Retevis RA89R is a high-power dual-band amateur radio engineered to tackle complex communication barriers. By bridging UHF and VHF systems through its built-in cross-band repeater, this radio eliminates the complexities of fragmented networks.
Forget the hassle of carrying around a laptop and programming cables. The RA89R features a dedicated Bluetooth app that allows you to wirelessly program frequencies, channels, and advanced settings directly from your smartphone. Paired with a massive 10W power output and the ability to monitor AM aviation traffic, the RA89R is the ultimate command hub for outdoor explorers, event coordinators, and emergency responders.
-
📱
Bluetooth App Control: Wirelessly program frequencies, adjust power settings, and manage your fleet via the Bluetooth app. (Android available now, iOS support arriving soon).
-
🔄
Cross-Band Repeater: Act as a temporary repeater to bridge communication gaps. The radio can receive signals on VHF and seamlessly retransmit them on UHF (or vice versa) to drastically extend signal coverage.
-
✈️
Aviation Reception: Keep your ear to the sky. The RA89R reliably receives AM aviation band transmissions (108–134 MHz), allowing you to monitor real-time communications between aircraft and Air Traffic Control.
-
⚡
10W High Power Output: Cut through obstacles and interference with up to 10 Watts of transmission power. The power is fully selectable (10W / 5W / 2W / 1W) so you can conserve battery life when operating at close range.
