Retevis sponsor us a RT-95 radio for the vectra *Benidorm or bust*

Retevis have kindly donated a pair of RT95 FM analogue radios for us to use in the Benidorm or bust rally in June. Here are a few pictures of the installed unit in our vectra. Looking rather solid and good looking!

Not the wire is drilled through in the above picture, for a more permanent fixture.

Take a step back and see how compact the radio is and how well it fits in the glove box, for a discreet place to hide it away.

Review: Retevis RT95 dual band analogue FM radio

As you can see above the retevis RT95 has a well lit display and microphone for easy use in the dark.

FM Satelliet called SO-50

First thing you will need to do when you get your FT95 is expand the frequency range, before programming anything! (you will lose the settings and saved copy will not load!)

Important to ensure PTT is pressed to make the band change.

RT-95 can expand into OFCOM Business lite radio license as discussed in this video

Ensuring Low power (5 watts max) this shows the licensed frequencies I could use.
