The Retevis Ailunce HD2 V3 is the uncompromising evolution of our most rugged, high-performance DMR amateur transceiver. Building upon the legendary waterproof, dual-band, GPS, and Bluetooth foundation, the V3 has been significantly re-engineered to deliver a refined user experience for the modern operator. Priced to compete with our previous bundle options, the HD2 V3 now includes the essential USB Programming Cable as a standard inclusion.
Fleetwood Digital is proud to offer the HD2 V3 as a forward-thinking, eco-conscious comms platform. By eliminating unnecessary eWaste and standardizing on the included cables, we ensure you have everything required to program and power your radio right out of the box without the inflated cost of redundant accessories.
📻 Amateur Radio Licensing Notice
An Amateur Radio Operator Certificate issued by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) (or an FCC Amateur License for US operators) is required to operate this transmitting equipment on amateur frequencies. Licensed operators are responsible for ensuring station operation complies with the guidelines set out in ISED RBR-4.
🌍 eWaste Conscious Packaging & Included Programming Cable
To align with global eWaste reduction standards, the HD2 V3 does not include a standard USB wall power cube. Instead, a standard USB charging cable is provided, allowing you to charge the radio from any standard 5V USB source (e.g., existing wall adapters, PCs, power banks). Additionally, the previously optional USB Programming Cable is now included in the box, ensuring you have the tools to manage your codeplug on day one.

-
📻
Tri-Band DMR & Analog: Operates on 2M (144-148 MHz), 1.25M (222-225 MHz), and 70CM (430-450 MHz). Compatible with Motorola Tier I & II and standard analog systems.
-
🎧
Built-in Bluetooth: Pair the HD2 with wireless Bluetooth PTT earpieces or compatible vehicle audio systems for true hands-free operation. Remote PTT is required for in-vehicle systems.
-
📍
GPS Integration: Send and receive location data with integrated GPS, supporting digital DMR tracking.
-
🌊
IP67 Waterproof: A true tank. Fully submersible in water (1M/30min) and dust repellent, making it the perfect companion for overlanding, boating, or SAR operations.
💻 Important DMR Programming Notice
Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) operates very differently from standard analog radios. You cannot simply dial in a frequency and press the PTT. To use DMR networks (like BrandMeister or TGIF), you must build or download a Codeplug utilizing Talkgroups, Color Codes, and Timeslots. Please be aware that DMR has a steep learning curve and requires computer programming using the free Ailunce software.
💡 Waterproof Accessory Connector Check
Because this radio is IP68 waterproof, it does not use the standard 2-Pin Kenwood plug found on Baofengs. It requires specific Ailunce HD1/HD2 multi-pin waterproof accessories (similar to the Motorola GP328Plus connector). Standard 2-pin speaker mics will not fit.
