Sshannon Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 That’s a good price! I just bought a couple for 20% off MSRP and thought I did alright. This is even better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sshannon Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 They sent me an invitation with a coupon. I suspected everyone registered on their site got it, but maybe I’m special. MichaelLAX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PACNWComms Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Good to know, I like my current DB-20G and may get another one at the $85 price point. Thank you all for sharing the deals going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRUA262 Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 The DB-25G (what I have) is only $5 more. Pretty good deal, especially considering you can program more than 9 additional repeaters in the unit. That's what sold me. Well, that and the extra 5W.

MichaelLAX Posted November 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 For the record, the DB-25G is a completely different animal than the DB20-G and as far as I am aware, it cannot be opened to transmit on Ham Bands 2 meters and 70 cms like the DB-20G. Also, once opened, the DB-20G can program all 500 channels; even if you keep it transmitting only on GMRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgmrs Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Currently retevis.com has their RA25 version of the DB20-G for $76. For $85 they have the "farm tractor bundle." In the bundle a programming cable and mag mount antenna is included. *** IMPORTANT *** On Retevis' web site they offer both a dual band ham version of the RA25 as well as the GMRS version of the RA25. Notice the model number is the same. So look at links and/or drop down menus carefully if it matters to you which version you get. Let's say you get the GMRS version and use the simple button mod to open up the radio. It's true that you could xmit on the ham bands in this case. But type acceptance wise that is not valid. So if interested primarily in GMRS, get the GMRS version. Along the same reasoning, if interested primarily in ham radio, get the ham version. Physically the RA25 looks the same as the Radioddity DB20-G. However, I seem to recall someone (MichaelLAX ?) once posted that the Radioddity and Anytone versions of the radio could share a code plug with each other but the Retevis version could not use the Radioddity or Anytone code plugs (?). If so, potentially this suggests at least a small difference in the Retevis version regarding its settings or firmware. Comments @MichaelLAX, our resident DB20-G and variants fan?

Yes, based upon research I did with Ra-25 code plugs and CPS software that was provided to me, I could not get my Radioddity DG20-G or Anytone AT-779UV code plugs to open in the Retevis software.
