Retevis RT87 is a pretty dual-band handheld radio, which is IP67 waterproof and has many impressive functions, such as 128 memory channels, DTMF MSK Tone, FM radio, scramble function etc. What’s more convenient is that the keyboard, can program easily without the computer. It has a communication range of 2 miles to 3 miles. If you want to extend the handheld radio range, or the distance you want to reach is too far to receive or transmit, consider using it with a repeater, such as RT97 Repeater.
