What’s the difference between RT55 and RM01 marine radios?

RT55 and RM01 are both Retevis marine radios, do you know what’s the difference between them?

Marine VHF radio is a worldwide system of two way radio transceivers on ships and watercraft used for bidirectional voice communication from ship-to-ship.  Ship-to-shore (for example with harbormasters). In certain circumstances ship-to-aircraft. It uses FM channels in the very high frequency (VHF) radio band in the frequency range between 156 and 174 MHz, inclusive, designated by the International Telecommunication Union as the VHF maritime mobile band. In some countries additional channels are used, such as[1] the L and F channels for leisure and fishing vessels in the Nordic countries (at 155.5–155.825 MHz). Transmitter power is limited to 25 watts, giving them a range of about 100 kilometres.

RM01 marine radio
Marine VHF radio equipment is installed on all large ships and most seagoing small craft. It is also used, with slightly different regulation, on rivers and lakes. It is used for a wide variety of purposes, including marine navigation and traffic control, summoning rescue services and communicating with harbours, locks, bridges and marinas.

Radio is an important safety tool for all mariners who venture out on the water, whether offshore or on inland waterways.

Look at why you need a VHF radio. If you are a dinghy sailor, jet skier, sea kayaker or paddleboarder, space will be an issue and a buoyant waterproof handheld with a long battery life may be desirable for the day long sessions.
A handheld should be straightforward to use under pressure with easy shortcuts, an intuitive user interface and simplicity of operation. A clear screen and a decent battery life are also important.
