In this video, we take a look at how to expand transmit frequencies in the Retevis RT95 (Anytone 778). Make sure you understand and follow; local, state and federal laws and regulations. Also, make sure you are aware of any license requirements for operation.

NOTE: This radio was sent to me free of charge for testing and evaluation purposes from Retevis.

    Best video. no extra talking... just come on the point which i expect from the titel!!!! LOVE IT!
  • @FTroop37F
    Good info. This chassis and form factor looks exactly like the Stryker SR-94hpc and the Anytone Apollo II 10 (and 11) meter radios.

    Good little radio, had mine for over a year. Done this back then but a pain in the backside when scanning it takes an age. There was a couple of out of band (local airport) frequencies I wanted to listen to and was able to program them into the memory with Chirp bypassing having to change the continental modes.
  • @bigcatdetective
    I have tried that but i have the crt micron vox and the ch goes from 39 to 42 so theres no ch 43 mode.
  • @Siskiyous6
    I am thinking of getting one or two of these. I have an Anytone D-578, it was in the jeep, now in my shack. Being able to use it for MURS and GMRS makes it the perfect radio for local emergency comms. - the 779 or the RT95 would do the same job, and since I am not really doing Digital there is no reason to have the more expensive model.
  • @RandellReeder
    And according to CHIRP... this radio is on their list as a supported model!
  • @dreupen
    Thanks for the nice video. I see that mode 2 covers the Marine vhf frequencies (i.e., 156MHz - 158MHz). Does this mean that it will transmit on the Marine VHF frequencies?
  • @bdueckserv
    Is there a list of frequency ranges each mode unlocks?
  • @crlarock6320
    Will this work on Anytone 778uv ? Great video, thanks !
  • @janhenkins
    Hi Ape! Are those 3 modes the only ones available? It would be interesting to know if there is a mode that includes 446MHz (PMR-446 in the EU). Thanks for the video! 73, Jan (M7HNK)

    After the hack is there a possibility to use to listen to FM channels here in Europe,I mean 87.5Mhz-108Mhz I like you videos a lot,they're well explained and give lots of ideas and info
