RB689 is a commercial long-rang licensed radio, with few reviews, blogs, or feedback on the radio. So, if you are willing to know how the functions run on the radio, this is the guide to describe the detailed information about the RB689 long-range radio.
And like we post the 3 sides of the radio. You can set up the quick functions on the side buttons in the software.
More functions and the operation
Press the PTT to transmit in standby status, and the indicator turns red. And the indicator turns green while receiving and speaking voice.
Short-press the PF1 and PF2 buttons to switch the channels, and the channel number will prompt and display on the screen.
If you hear a charge prompt, please charge your radio and see the red indicator flashing. This is the low-power alarm function.
And the VOX icon will display on the screen when you activate the function. You can tick the VOX in the software; if that, the VOX will normally open.

The default VOX level is 3, and the most sensitive level is 9.
The VOX delay. You can define this function on the side key if you always use the VOX function. Or, you can choose 1-6 levels to delay for 0.5 seconds to 3 seconds.
Monitor function. This function can also define on the side keys.
The scan is a carrier scan. That means if there is a signal on the current channel, you can receive it. And you can talk to others when the tones are the same, or you cannot hear the voice, but the indicator turns green. And if the signal disappears, your radio will keep scanning after 5 seconds.
