When you can't compromise on power or durability, the Retevis RA89 is the radio you need. This isn't just another handheld; it's a rugged, high-power transceiver built to perform in the toughest Canadian conditions. With a full 10 watts of power on VHF and a best-in-class IP68 waterproof rating, the RA89 is ready for anything you throw at it—from back-country excursions and 4x4 off-roading to emergency operations.
Its professional-grade build is packed with modern features, including intelligent noise reduction, a large 2500mAh battery, and a convenient USB-C charging port, making it the ultimate workhorse for the serious ham operator.
RA89 Key Features
- 🚀 10W High-Power Output: Get maximum range and punch through interference. The RA89 transmits with a full 10 watts on VHF and 8 watts on UHF, with (High/Medium/Low) power levels to save battery when you don't need the extra distance.
- 🌊 IP68 Waterproof & Dustproof: Built for extreme environments. An IP68 rating means the RA89 is not just "splash-proof"—it can be fully submerged in up to 1.5 metres of water for 30 minutes and is completely sealed against dust and dirt.
- 🎧 Intelligent Noise Reduction: Hear the call, not the noise. The built-in DSP chip actively filters out background noise, ensuring your transmissions are crisp and incoming audio is clear, even in loud environments like a vehicle or worksite.
- 🔌 Convenient USB-C Charging: Charge it anywhere. The radio body features a built-in, waterproof USB-C port, allowing you to charge from your computer, a power bank, or any USB source in your vehicle.
- 🔋 High-Capacity 2500mAh Battery: A powerful radio needs a powerful battery. The 2500mAh Li-ion battery provides long-lasting operation for extended field use.
- 📻 FM Broadcast Radio: Listen to your favourite FM radio stations (65-108 MHz) during downtime.
🔌 Please Note: Power Adapter Not Included
Following industry practice, this radio includes a USB-C charging cable but no longer comes with a 110V USB wall adapter (power brick).
If you need an adapter, you can add one to your order right here.
