    It seems that there are no USB drivers to make the programming cable work with the RT29. I have tried multiple ways and followed the instructions. No USB driver for windows 10 can be installed. Universal drivers do not work, and even tried on a MAC. which does not even have the software to program the RT29.
    It may be a hot seller, but the instructions and software need a bit of work.

  2. The software will not run on my Windows 10 PC due to a lack of the .net framework. However the framework version it requires is older than the one I have installed…

    Is there a way to force it to run?

    1. Hi, would you please install the RT29 software again? I have tested it on our computer with the system Window 10, there is no problem!

  3. I have tried several time to enable the vox function and it does not work. I am highly disappointed that retevis is unable to solve this issue. I contacted them via whatsapp and their response was to enable PF1 to Vox, which I di, and still not working. I bought these solely to use the VOX function and am not getting any support. I may have to return thses

    1. Hi, dear, very sorry for the delay! Did you activate the VOX function through the software? And when you set it by the software, please change the VOX level a medium value.Please have a try and have a nice day!
