Programming The RETEVIS RA685 Duel band Handheld For 2M /70cm

Retevis sent me this great little handheld to review, The RA 685 is a super first time radio for the newbie or for anyone that needs a budget duel bander.

This simple no nonsenses analogue radio works out of the box, is simple to program and use, best of all its great value for money at around £40 to £50 that's less than the FT-4XE from Yaesu and only a couple of quid more than the cheapest Baofeng (prices at the time of upload)

Dual band Ham band Radio: 144-146MHZ(RX/TX) 430-440MHZ(RX/TX)
