Such a cracking little radio had to make contact because mine had the incorrect charger included but made contact with the company and they were so helpful and sent me a replacement charger features are well thought out and easy to use programming via a laptop or pc using chirp is easy PLEASE DONT USE BEFORE PROGRAMMING WITH UK FREQUENCIES unless you’re licensed to use them this is my go too radio at the moment and have over 35ish ranging from yaesu to baofeng

Good little radio

Not very loud on air band, the primary reason I bought the set. I’ve tried several antennas, locations and I live quite high up a hill and have no trouble getting air band loud and clear on other rigs I own.70cm and 2metres work well and FM is loud and clear with the sound from the set being better than average.However, I bought this rig as a shirt pocket radio and the air band was something I was looking forward to using.I may have got a one off rig that’s not been tuned properly from the factory but I can’t see this one being used as it was intended.Alas, it’s way to quiet and there is so much background noise you struggle to make anything out from any received transmission and once you put the squelch on to lower the background noise it really does become very, very feint.Without the a.m. reception it’s just another Bao..ng……..very disappointed RADTEL.

Build quality value for money, Charging capability ease of programming

The Radtel Model RT-890 is a rather nice compact size transceiver at a very affordable price .The transceiver is constructed from good quality ABS materials , the screen offers an excellent TFT colour information that is clear and readable .The transceiver operates very well on transmit & receive .The down side to the Radtel RT-890 is that it's furnished with a low capacity 11mAh battery requiring frequent charge cycles , other downside factors are , the belt clip hinge is constructed from nylon rather then steel and more importantly the channel scanning mode does not resume scanning , it simply remains on the receive channel .

Excellent little transceiver for the price.

The Radio works fine But the base charger supplied in the box. The radio does not fit base charge so i can not charge radio. Please send me correct base charger and please also make sure it has UK plug fitted.Thank's very much. Dave.

changed my mind this radio is rubbishon airband to quiet and weak very annoying
