**Edit** 7-7‐2023‐ Okay I now own four of these little guys for family outing and emergency comms. Updating battery and Programming scores. While twice as much as a uv5r or $10 more than a gt-3wp you really get way more features with this radio. 1) From inside home (cbc construction) to inside vehicle two miles aways gmrs was clear with basic antenna. 2) Airband from inside home is picking up planes on Miami and Palm Beach approach freqs pretty just okay (expected). Hearing tower pretty clearly when within 2.5 to 3 miles, not great LoS. Really need an external mounted or scanner antenna to take advantage of air band rx 3)Chirp Next project has corrected the formatting issue. So adding/importing channel memories from other HTs is way easier now. No issues going back or forth between Chirp or the proprietary software. liked it so much I bought a second. Little HT packs a lot of great features. For an entry level HT under $50 it is a great value. Updating to 5 stars. --------------end of edit. -Features- 5 stars This is legit a full band radio that legit outputs 5W (or very near across all bands), all while fitting in pocket or palm of hand. The air band monitor, CTS/DCS scanning, vhf/uhf scanning, voice scrambler are all great features. -Programming- 5 stars (updated) While it is supported by Chirp Next (use Ryage uv58plus), the file format in Chirp is missing some columns that the proprietary SW (freely available at radtels.com) includes. If reading a Chirp made config using proprietary SW, you will get a read error. The proprietary SW also lets you customize boot logo, boot message and some minor UI color tweaks. Would be nice if Chirp project was a little more aligned. -Form Factor- 5 stars Easily fits in pocket or palm of your hand. -Sound quality- 5 stars In all honesty I only have BF GT-3WP to compare with so my sample is small. Overall sounds clear. -Battery Life- 5 stars (updated) I haven had it long enough to get data on battery life. USB-C charging on radio is a plus. Will update when I have some data. -Durability- 4.0 stars Compared to my BF GT-3WP (which are solid bricks), the RT-890 feels a bit on the fragile side. I would recommend caution with the display when out scrambling around. I ordered some anti glare tablet screen protectors and cut pieces to cover display area. Just in case. -User Interface- 5 stars Great interface. UI and display are easily readable in sunlight. I like the black background, with actual RX and TX power levels displayed. I wish all the other Radtel HTs would copy this interface. I'm guessing the interface is Iradio or Ryage design.

I needed a 2 meter/ 70 cm ham radio handheld I could play with the new open-source M70 firmware and this unit fit the bill literally. It is the same unit as the Ruyage UV58Plus for those who use CHIRP to program their handhelds. It also has marine/aircraft frequencies as well as FM. The open-source M70 firmware adds many additional features the factory version doesn't have, such as being able to program up to 8 scanning groups, scanning bandwidth graph, extended frequency range, and a few more goodies. WARNING: This is NOT A TOY. You must have at least a Technician Class amateur radio license to transmit, but you can listen to your heart's desire all you want. Just be careful and keep your fingers off the PPT button (push-to-talk) if you are not licensed.

The vendor shipped it fairly quickly. The quality of the radio appears good on the outside. But the performance was not so good, especially the reception. Radtel released a firmware version that improved the reception some but it is still not as good as their competition. While the reception has improved I feel that the radio should not have been released with faulty firmware and poor performance. I was going to rate this 3 stars but added a star because Radtel supported the radio as they should.

The Vhf sensitivity is terrible and the battery is too small. The screen is nice and it works good on Uhf. I tried a different antenna and it did not help with the Vhf sensitivity problem.

Everything about this radio leaves a Baofeng UV5R in the dust. I own both and I wish I had this radio in the beginning instead. The better display and keypad are worth the price alone. Programming frequencies from the keypad is much easier than a Baofeng and you get a 999 channel memory. Programming an offset frequency is done without going into the menu and is much quicker than the Baofeng as well. The airband reception on this radio is really good when paired with the Radtel Air Aviation Band Flex Whip Antenna 108-136Mhz, so be sure to include one. While an unlocked Baofeng will accept those frequencies it doesn’t have the AM receiver necessary to pick up the transmissions. The USB C charging port comes in handy. You don’t need to lug around the AC charging base to charge the radio. (Note: Plugging a USB C cable into the radio from a phone charger plugged into a wall outlet will not work.) A USB port from a laptop works just fine. The oem programming software works well, just like chirp, and a Baofeng programming cable gets the job done. You can even customize the startup logo and welcome message. The Radtel does everything a Baofeng does, and more, plus it does it better.

I have enjoyed Radtel radios. This one was my 4th purchase. The RX is great. However it will not TX. If you plug in an external speaker microphone it will TX which leads me to believe the microphone is not operating inside the radio.

For the price this is one of the better cheap radios because of it's screen, display layout, and features. I like it better than the Talkpod A36 and UV-5R (all variants) which is really where this radio belongs in terms of line up. However, at the end of the day, these cheap radios are nothing more than toys in terms of radio TX and RX capability/quality. Not to diminish their usefulness as "Walkie talkies" but in terms of scanning, quality of reception/sound, and use as an enthusiast radio, this should be at the bottom of your list. This should be at the top of your list if you're looking for a cheap HAM radio for 2-way comms. Terrible at airband reception by the way.
