I have Updated to the latest firmware V0.29 260617
This was a right devil to programme not only have to put the frequencies in you also have to put in the zones and name them I have put the local repeaters in plus the simplex channels also PMR Marine Band and Fire service. Plus, I have put some of the uk repeaters and gateways. For you CB,ers I have put in 40 UK + 80 EU but I have created a CB zoneS so you can add more channels. I did not want to take up any more time doing this. please note this radio is for serious operators.
I have done all this programming took me hours and I am asking £70 New in the Box No offers please
The Radtel RT-950 PRO is absolutely not for the faint-hearted. While it is an incredibly powerful "Swiss Army knife" of a budget ham radio, it has earned a massive reputation in the amateur radio community for being a beast that requires serious patience and technical know-how to tame
If you are a beginner looking for a seamless, "it just works" experience out of the box, this radio will likely leave you tearing your hair out. However, if you love tinkering with firmware, custom programming, and pushing hardware to its absolute limits, it is an incredibly fun project So only buy it if you can cope with it
HF Limitations: While the radio boasts LW, MW, and SW reception, it is a compact handheld; do not expect it to perform like a dedicated HF base station desktop receiver.
Out-of-Box APRS Digipeating: firmware versions have the APRS digipeater function enabled by default with no menu option to disable it. If you do not have an amateur radio licence, be careful, as the radio will automatically re-transmit any digital packet it hears.
Standout Features
• Bluetooth App Programming: You can completely configure channels, names, and settings directly from your iOS or Android smartphone without needing a computer.
• GPS & APRS Integration: Features real-time position reporting (Automatic Packet Reporting System), turning the radio into a great tracking tool for team operations, search & rescue, or remote hiking.
• Integrated Spectrum Analyzer: Includes a built-in on-screen spectrum scan to actively monitor local frequency activity in real-time.
• One-Key Decode: Instantly captures nearby active frequencies and sub-tones (CTCSS/DCS), allowing you to quickly match another radio's settings.
• Wireless Frequency Copy: Allows fast, cable-free cloning of configurations between two matching Radtel handsets
