WSIP539 Posted 20 hours ago Report Posted 20 hours ago I have two Retevis RT22 FRS radios. I recently bought 2 Midland GXT 3000. I can receive and transmit between the FRS radios fine as well as the GMRS radio but can only receive from the RT22. I see that it receives a signal from the Midland but can not hear any transmission. Quote

WSIP539 Posted 19 hours ago Author Report Posted 19 hours ago How do I find out the tone set on a RT22? To my knowledge there is no way to get that. The owner manual does not have anything on codes. Quote

The owner manual does not have anything on codes. I googled the manual. They’re called QT and DQT on page 05 of the manual. QT will be the tones. DQT will be the codes. I would provide more information if I had one in my hand to try the different buttons and see what does what, but I guess you will have to do that. Quote
BoxCar Posted 19 hours ago Report Posted 19 hours ago The Retevis CPS will display the default tones shipped on the radio. I don't remember how you disable the tone or if it was even possible on those radios. Quote
SteveShannon Posted 19 hours ago Report Posted 19 hours ago Here’s a video that describes programming the rt22: WRUU653 1 Quote
WSIP539 Posted 18 hours ago Author Report Posted 18 hours ago Thanks for all the assistance. I now need to get a cable to program. Is the cable a standard that I can just order from Amazon? Quote
WSIP539 Posted 17 hours ago Author Report Posted 17 hours ago I found what I needed, Thanks again. Quote
Majik Posted 8 hours ago Report Posted 8 hours ago Could also be Wide Band vs Narrow Band. (You should use Narrow). Quote
LeoG Posted 8 hours ago Report Posted 8 hours ago The guy in the video made a mistake. He confused the 467Mhz channels with the 462Mhz channels with the same frequency past the decimal. As long as the radio is used on the 467Mhz frequencies the 2 watt output is legal. It might not even be capable of accessing those frequencies. Quote
