Compatibility Notes
The Retevis RB19P (30 channels) supports direct calls on channels 1-5 for 16-channel radios, and channels 1-22 for 22-channel radios. Channels 23-30 of RB19P are repeater channels. Communication with other brands of walkie-talkies may require specific firmware; contact Retevis support for assistance.
Range Information
The effective range of your walkie talkie can vary significantly based on terrain, obstacles, atmospheric conditions, radio power, signal type, and antenna. While the RB19P offers strong penetration, dense environments like heavily wooded areas or urban settings with many buildings will reduce range.
How to extend further distance?
- Increase the transmission power (in theory, if the transmission power is doubled, the communication distance can be expanded to approximately 1.4 times the original distance).
- Improve the receiving sensitivity (adjust the squelch threshold of the walkie-talkie and use a high-gain antenna to correspondingly improve the receiving sensitivity of the walkie-talkie).
- Keep launching from a higher location.
- Keep your battery charged.
