- Do I need a license to use the Retevis RT27?
- No. It operates on FRS frequencies, which are license-free in the US. You can use it out of the box without a permit.
- How far will the RT27 actually reach?
- The 1.9-mile figure is a best-case open-air number. Expect much shorter range indoors, in cities or through walls, often a few blocks at most.
- What comes in the box?
- You get two RT27 radios, one earpiece per radio, belt clips and a charging setup for the rechargeable batteries.
- Can I use it with other FRS or GMRS radios?
- Yes, as long as the other radios are on the same FRS channel. It will not talk to non-FRS bands.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. It is a basic plastic radio without a waterproof rating, so keep it out of rain and spills.
- Does it have privacy codes or a display?
- The basic RT27 has no display and no privacy codes. Channel selection is done with the buttons on the radio.
