Radtel RT-470X Duad Band Ham Radio Walkie Talkies 256CH Aviation Air Band Two Way Radio Long Range Handheld Transceiver USB-C Charger/Frequency Capture /2600mAh Battery

Wow for the price you pay for this radio you are getting a proper bit of kit. Feels like it’s well made and it does what it says on the box well worth the money

Ive only had tbis radio for a few days, but so far, I cant fault it. I bought it primary for listening mainly to the air band. And other users. (Im currently working on my licence, to be able to legally transmit.) The radio is very sturdy and has a good build quality. The sound quality is excellent. It picks up signals from very long distances. Although i dont think it would transmit that far, but thats not why i bought it in the first place. The functions are easy enough to work out, which is a good job really, as the instruction manual is pretty useless. All in all, a great little radio. I can highly recommend.

I'm still getting to grips with my new purchase, and to be honest it takes a fair amount of time to get your head around the operation of it, (it took me a day and I'm by no means stupid). The instruction manual could be so much clearer, for example, I searched and searched the manual for a way of storing frequencies on channels, but failed miserably. I eventually went onto YouTube and found a video which showed me how to do it in a matter of minutes. Why on earth the instructions aren't clearer is anyone's guess. I haven't had it anywhere near an airport yet, (I live 50 miles from the nearest commercial airport), but have been able to pick up a few aircraft conversations by scanning through the airband frequencies. I've also been able to pick up a few amateur radio conversations too, up to now around 50 miles away with the bigger aerial that I purchased. Like I say, I'm still finding my way around it, but apart from the manual issues it seems to do what it says on the box. At the price it's a bit of a bargain - and there's always YouTube instruction videos when all else fails!

Airband very good, good features

Brilliant radio for the money. I did all the firmware updates which is fairly easy to do as well. The radio is great and has a great sound quality as well as a nicely lit screen. I used mine daily and still no issues. Definitely worth a buy

Really nice little radio, Bit of a learning curve to begin with but once you have watched a few you tube videos it soon starts to make sense, Its fully unlocked, Been testing it with the air band for aircraft and works really well. They have just released new firmware V2.13c for it which can be found on there site which expands the frequency to full band and unlocks am/fm modulation so well worth updating. All in all a great piece of kit.

After seeing reviews on YT & on line decided to have a punt on this radio. Easy to program using CHIRP Programming very simple & will work with a Baofeng download cable. There are plenty of firmware upgrades from Radtel Website , also to expand this radio hold button 8 & turn on radio then will say expand many options to suit the radio with your requirements. The Airband receive is excellent I am hearing airports 80+ miles away and audio reports from using Repeaters are also good . Have also ordered a microphone & screen protector for the radio so overall an excellent radio if you are just starting out or just something else to use/back up.

Instructions are not clear and item is not as described. Unable to use a airband radio, only reason to buy.
