WSIP539 Posted 23 hours ago Report Posted 23 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 22 hours ago Author Report Posted 22 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 21 hours ago Report Posted 21 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 21 hours ago Report Posted 21 hours ago Here’s a video that describes programming the rt22: WRUU653 1 Quote
WSIP539 Posted 20 hours ago Author Report Posted 20 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 20 hours ago Author Report Posted 20 hours ago I found what I needed, Thanks again. Quote
Majik Posted 11 hours ago Report Posted 11 hours ago Could also be Wide Band vs Narrow Band. (You should use Narrow). Quote
LeoG Posted 10 hours ago Report Posted 10 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
