For the first person to try tomato:
The RB17P GMRS radio with a big screen and functional keypad. The most popular function is that you can switch or turn off the CTCSS/DCS codes on the radio. And you do not have to program it on your computer. And the functional keypad can help you program other basic functions on the radio, such as frequency mode and channel mode switch, H/L power, squelch level, power saving, backlight color and time, TOT. That means you can adjust the functions to meet your needs in different scenarios.
How to update the RB17P?
There is an issue with RB17P. The Tx and Rx frequencies of the last 8 repeater channels are reversed, so you cannot connect a repeater to expand the communication range. However, our technicians have fixed the issue. So, the update is important for the first person to try tomato.
So, first, if your RB17P has to be fixed, you can contact us on Facebook, Email, or even the comments↓ to send the software and other files to you.
The files include the updated software, register file, a factory programming software.
Second, you have to unzip the register file on your computer, and you will find that when the black dialog box pops up and disappears, the registration is successful.

I just purchased two RB17P radios and cannot heard repeater audio but the radio is receiving the transmission. If you press the small button on the left side of the radio you can then hear the audio. What am I doing wrong and what can I do to allow me to hear the repeater audio?
Please show the problem to support@retevis.com with your order number. I will help you with the problem. Thanks. And it is better to show the problem in a short video or pictures.
Looking for the updated software to fix the RB17P, including updated firmware. Purchased through Amazon.
