The Radtel RT-950 PRO is a handheld ham radio that also receives shortwave, AM/FM broadcast, CB and 27 MHz bands, with 10W output on the main bands and 960 channels. It adds Bluetooth app programming for iOS and Android, GPS/APRS position sending, a built-in spectrum analyzer and Type-C charging with a desktop dock. That makes it far more versatile than a plain dual-band HT, but the 27 MHz section is FM only and the wide receive coverage comes with a steep learning curve. It suits hobbyists who want one radio for scanning and shortwave listening as well as local ham contacts; buyers wanting simple, rugged voice-only use may find it overcomplicated.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 across 127 ratings, the RT-950 PRO is well received for packing wide receive coverage, app programming and GPS into one handheld. Owners treat it as a capable value radio rather than a premium one, and the usual complaints center on the learning curve and the FM-only 27 MHz section.
The Radtel RT-950 PRO is a handheld two-way radio with 10W output power. It transmits and receives on 136-174MHz and 400-520MHz, and on 27MHz (FM modulation only). It also receives shortwave from 2.3-30MHz. It has 960 channels and a Channel Zone function.
The radio can be programmed with a mobile app over Bluetooth on iOS and Android. It can copy frequency settings to other devices wirelessly, send its position by GPS/APRS, and show real-time signal analysis on its integrated spectrum analyzer. It also supports NOAA weather channels.
It charges over USB Type-C or in the included desktop charging dock. Using non-Radtel headphones and microphones with the RT-950 or RT-950 PRO may burn out the audio amplifier module and leave the radio with no sound.
