Retevis RA25 Mobile Repeater-Capable GMRS Radio 20W

I really enjoy this mobile radio A lot of great features on it. If you need a great radio at a reasonable price, this is the one to get.

Great Radio!! Buy one you wont regret it

The Retevis RA-25 is an outstanding radio. I paired it with the Midland low profile GMRS antenna. It gets great reception and transmits very well. I have a newer model hyundai sonata, so its compact form factor is great for my car. The sound is outstanding as well. It is easy to program the radio directly. I actually remove the factory install privacy codes in order to transmit where others could hear me. Chirp will eventually catch up to this radio. I purchased a separate program cable although I have not hooked up to the computer using the download software I will be doing that soon. I purchased a cupholder radio mount on Amazon and the radio. Sits there in my cupholder area perfectly you cannot beat this radio for the money. Love it.

Nearly worthless for an average user.

One who knows what they are doing can make this radio useable but it is a tedious struggle. Lines cannot be added for the same frequencies with different tones and global changes have to be performed line by line, window by window. 6 pages of tiny print, you call that an instruction manual? Often, it is wrong!
