Hoping to see something for the Retrevis RT95/ Anytone 778UV soon. This is the only radio I have that does not have Chirp support and of course it is the one I need to program the most channels into.
We will contact Chirp support for RT95 asap. You can pay more attention on Chirp. Thanks!
It’s been over a year. Please give the RT-95 CHIRP support.
Using chirp I can download for my RT23 but I can not write to it? Any help would be appreciated.
Email sent you, please check. Thanks!
I seen where RT3 is not supported by Chirp. Is this permanent or will it be a future supported radio?
sorry, as I know, Chirp now only support the analog mode radio, and I can’t sure if RT3 will be supported by chirp.
Hi, Any news on Chirp support for Retevis RT50?
Chirp now only support the analog mode radio, but our RT50 is the digital model radio.
Ok I am totally new to this. I have a h777 and I need it to work with a r23 for school. can someone dumb it down for me?
hi, please program your RT23 same with the H777. then they can talk with each other.
You can read this blog: https://www.twowayradiocommunity.com/how-to-programme-h777/

If you still have problem, you can contact with us on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/retevis
Is there a version of Chirp for model RT29? I can use Windows 10 or Mac Catalina.
Thanks
sorry, now the chirp software don’t support the model RT29,if you use the Window10 computer, you can download the software from our webiste: https://www.retevis.com/resources-center/
When I try to find the software to communicate with a RT29 radio ( Chirp does not work ) I can not find it. Very frustrating all i can get from Reteivs is a link to the home page for software support that does not support the RT29 Radio. Please send me a link for the RT29 radio software, not a generic link to a home page with no software on it.
Hi, we are so sorry for this, now we have solved this question, you can download again here: https://www.retevis.com/resources-center/

Hi, you can read this blog to find our softwares

The squelch is set to tight on my RT27v. How do I adjust it?
HELLO! YOU CAN change the squelch level on your computer with programming cable! Here is the software link, you can download the software from the “support”.https://www.retevis.com/RT27-MURS-License-free-Portable-Walkie-Talkies/
I do not see any radio import listing for the RT-27V in the chirp software for MAC OSX. I see some people have been able to program their 27V radios, how do I do it?
hello! CAN we know the reason why you want to change the frequency, for further research of our radio?
Thanks. I don’t care to change the station frequencies, but I’d like to see what the transmit power is set to by default. I’ve read conflicting reports that some or all channels are set at 1W vs. the full 2W on the RT-27V Is that true?
I am try to download rt46, does this work
Hi, dear, RT46 has not a chirp software, here are some models on chirp, please have a look:https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home
would like to see the RT76 programming in the Retevis list. software from MFGR had the Channel Info disabled after 6 month of operational programming.
Hi,you can download the RT76 software from our website, click https://www.retevis.com/handheld-gmrs-two-way-radio-rt76/
Click support-firmware/software to download
Hi, could you send me the old h777 software as i have to change a few frequencies and the newer one will not write to the radio and will only change PL-tones
Thanks
I am unable to find RT622P in the list. I need to change the frequencies.
Here is the link to download our official programming software. But I am sorry that RT622P is a PMR446 radio, so the frequency band is fixed, it cannot change in the software.
Does this programming work with kenwood NX-1000 series ?
Is there a way to reprogram the Retevis RT28?
Have sent the files to you email, please check.
