Another outstanding radio by Retevis for ham’s great work guys… 🙂
Can’t wait to see the HD-1
Steve
thanks
Did they fix the problems found during testing ?
Yes
A huge request to the reputable manufacturer will make possible the S-meter indication of the strength of the received signal in dB, it will be very useful for radio amateurs!
So it’s very much a question – will you implement the “Talker Alias” system?
The first version HD1 has not Talker Alias” . We will research this function continuely.
Hello, dear Retevis.
I have a couple of questions for you, if you will.
1. Rather, this proposal – please do in HD1 S-meter in dB .. this is useful for a lot of radio amateurs
2. Say, in HD1 will be implemented systems “Talker Alias”?
Thank you for the answers and for your work.
Hi, dear Company!
Please, and do not prepare the transceiver with D-STAR? (Handy or mobile, dual band ideal).
TNX!
maybe in the future.
Is GPS built in just not turned on in the firmware? Will it be available through a firmware upgrade in the future?
Yes, GPS firmware will be available asap.
Is the HD1 – US Part 90 Certified?
Yes, we are doing.

I would like to know: 1- When the GPS version will be available. 2- What will it include? 3- Will the HD1 as an option be compatible with The D-Star radios? Thank you.

A question about the hd1 cps …

Thanks
Sent email to you, please check. Thanks!

Hi, channel information can be export from radio now.
What is the turn around time once ordered. Are they coming from china
Yes, they ship from China.
Hello!
Where can I order a spate battery for the HD1. I ordered a HD1, but I could not find a spare battery.
Thank you in advance and kind regards.
Hi, we have send you an email. please check.
Hi folks at Retcvis;
I just received a couple of HD1’s with GPS.
The radios have performed flawlessly. I am very
happy with them. It is a breeze (easy) to program
and sounds good.
But, I do not see any way to send DTMF tones.
I suspect the feature is not in the radio, If it is,
I have not found it. Over here we have remote
weather stations that are accessed via. ‘touchtome’ (DTMF).
I thank you for the fine product and look forward to
many years of use.
I thank you in advance for your time.
Best regards;

Hi, DTMF will be update in the future firmware. Thanks for your information.
Excuse me in wich update you put the DTMF i have the 1.5.3 and dont have please help with this
Sorry,No DTMF updated, we are now working on it. Pay more attention on Ailunce facebook page.
Please work on the DTMF tones. In my state there are about 400 repeaters. Only about 10 of them are DMR. Many of the 400 analog repeaters have EchoLink or IRLP and can dial other repeaters, but this requires DTMF tones.
Yes, we will add this function soon.
I purchased 4 of the HD-1 radios for my family members who are amateur operators.
While it has a nice physical build and nice features (most operations can be done via keypad / dual-band / etc)
IT NEEDS TO HAVE DTMF ENCODING !!!!! We use DTMF tone signalling for repeater control.
SO –> All of our radios are sitting in chargers now.
You missed a great chance to really take over the “ham world”.
BTW:: If you could increase the band range (UHF) to 400-520mhz would really assist those of us that would like to use radios for work (public safety / “t-band” 470-500mhz would even be fine.) AND amateur service bands.
PLEASE GET DTMF WORKING !!!
Will let you know when we add DTMF function. Thanks!

Email sent.
When you will add DTMF ? in april you write are working on this update 🙁 !!!
Will let you know once we add DTMF. Thanks!
Is possible to extend the band of our Ailunce GPS? When will DTMF tone available?
Send you an email, please check. Thanks!
Hi! It seems impossible to transmitt on a band and receive on another.
Channels programmed as cross band channels disappear when programmed into the radio.
They remain in the PC file, but can not be found in the radio. How can this be fixed?
Would you please send me your codeplug by email? partner@retevis.com
I think maybe you missed to set the offset and others. so I need your codeplug to check!
Error message on my HD1, “Repeater Fail”. already tried the settings you suggest but won’t worked.
First, please make sure all the radio settings are correct. and then set the repeater connect to 1 time. Please have a try again. Thanks.
DTMF is finally here works great! Thank you so much for this update!!!!
