Title: Great Radio, Value, and Shipped Early!
Review: I ordered this radio during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale period because of positive reviews I watched on YouTube.The radio showed up a couple of days earlier than promised and everything was packed well and no damage at all.Setup and programming was simple, using the Retevis CPS software, I even updated the Firmware without problems.Great little radio, built like a tank and sounds great. I also like the water resistance in case I happen to drop it in a creek or lake I won’t have to worry about damaging the radio.Great lifetime on the battery, I monitor it daily and it’s been days since I fully charged it and I still have “full bars” on the battery display.

Title: Solid feeling radio, tough, works great!
Review: Most cheap radios feel and look like toys, this ha1g feels and looks solid and rugged, like a radio you would see at a job site. Not quite a Motorola or Kenwood, but it feels fantastically heavy duty and feels like I expect a radio to feel that’s 4-5x this price. Even though it’s waterproof, the speaker sounds louder and clearer than any other radio I have. Receiver sensitivity sems very good and audio quality both ways is excellent. Comes programmed out of the box ready to use on GMRS. Mine came with the latest update firmware already. P.S. in an *emergency* you can lock the keypad and hit 123456 and it will then allow transmission on the HAM bands. Mine came with a programming cable also. For the money this is an unbelievable value.

Title: Seems like a solidly built radio
Review: Radio is built like a brick and has good audio on RX and TX. RX signal might be a little less than my other radios but still in the process of testing against the other radios. I don’t care much about only having scan lists of 16 channels each and only having “zones” or banks of 16 channels each. Also the current firmware allows you to open up the frequency range to access ham/gmrs/frs/murs but you must go through a procedure every time you power up the radio to unlock the transmit for the frequencies that you program into the radio like ham or murs. It’s easy to do but it should be made to be a persistent unlock that stays unlocked on power cycles. Maybe new firmware can fix some of these issues or at least make them optional for the end user.The battery lasts a long time. Took a while to go through the process of charge/discharge for the first 3 cycles to help maximize the battery life. Power output seems stable and consistent in the frequencies I use, ham/gmrs/frs/murs.The display is very nice and I like the options to increase/decrease the brightness and length of time the display is illuminated.The antenna is very rigid and it fits very snug on the connector and seals against the body as expected to maintain the waterproof seal. I have not tested how waterproof it is and don’t plan on doing it intentionally. If it gets wet or dunked and stops working I will edit this review to reflect on the results. Also the antenna stub is quite a bit taller than other radios and if you want to use different antennas you might have to get some type of rubber gasket to fill the gap between the radio body and the antenna base. Range seems to be pretty much the same as any other 5w radio and the audio quality is excellent and makes communication clear and enjoyable compared to other radios in the same price range.All said it is a very nice radio with nice features and capabilities but it could be much better with possible firmware upgrades and options. The value of the radio is probably a bit higher than the current price of $35-$40 but as I stated it would be even more with firmware upgrades and better options. If I find anything else worth mentioning I will update this review.Update: Since the release of the HA1UV I have downloaded the firmware for the HA1UV and installed it on the HA1G. I like the firmware better and I don’t have to put any codes or key presses to unlock the ham bands and others. The only issue I have seen so far is that the H/M/L power settings only seem to work on the UHF bands, while the VHF bands only work on H/L and no output from the Mid setting. But I always run full blast so no problem for me. YMMV

Title: So far, So Great!
Review: So far I have nothing bad to say about this HA1G radio. As I am still new the GMRS world, this has been a great little handheld model to learn with. So far, it been very capable of any of the programming that I have done with it either by a manual input or the programming from a laptop.It has a very good transmitting range for the transmission amps that it has, a good balance of power to battery use/longevity.The battery is great, I like the fact that you can charge the battery either in the cradle or if your out and about and to charge the battery directly, I having options like this so that you can charge and continue your use.The instructional booklet that it comes with is very decent and has easy to follow set up instructions along with pictorial guides.The only drawback that I have found is the programming software that is used, this has been/was a little bit of a challenge to use. I was able to search for and find some related how to videos that assisted me in the firmware update and programming.I liked this radio so much, I purchased a second one for my family use for out outings. I would like to Retevis add an option to purchase a 2nd battery in a deal pack in the purchase. It would be a great to have two when out hiking or long deployments.
