Hi,
I was just wondering where I can find the GPS tracking software for these radios. Also do I need any additional hardware for the computer or can I just connect a spare radio?
Thanks
1.Download the USB Driver firstly and then the RT8 GPS software here : http://www.retevis.com/programming_software .
PS: the USB Driver support Win7 & WinXP.
2.Connect your RT8 to your PC via programming cable.PS: remember open your radio,it should keep the power on when you program.
Volume control is the same as flimsy version of RT- 3 ? easily turns – not as the more expensive brands such as Motorola ? And because of that the battery latch is made plastic or metal bottom , looks like it is not reliable and in which case is it possible to buy it separately ?
Today was holding a model RT- 3, and the volume knob terrible and even from accidental CONTACT A twisted in any direction on the Motorola GP340 and Yaesu VX-8DR this is not even on Baofeng UV- 82 was better handle
If you can please reply to mail sybereks@gmail.com
Hi dear ,RT8’s volume control is better than RT3,and why not take a look at this blog firstly?It shows every details of RT8 : https://www.twowayradiocommunity.com/rt8-disassembly-evaluation/
Will RT8 allow third-party firmware like RT3?
No dear,Pls use the officially designated firmware to each different type radios in order to avoid occuring system error.
Can I use the GPS function shown in MGRS and send my position manually or frequently at the QRG where I am?
About RT8 GPS function,After the GPS positioning information on the machine shows: longitude, latitude and satellite data
Positioned by Beidou positioning system ,It shows the coordinates of the Big Dipper,Instead of sending GPS information by QRG
But sent via SMS. Hope to help u .
puedo usar rt8 DMR con los radios analogos
Yes, just make sure it is under analog mode when you communicate with analog radio.
Sí, sólo asegúrese de que está en modo analógico cuando se comunica con la radio analógica.
Can the RT8 have both analog and digital channels in the radio? Also will the radio change to either analog or digital modes when changing channels or does it require manual changing of the mode first?
RT8 has both analog and digital models in the radio ,when changing to the other model,you need to set it on software firstly.
Zoe Chen,
What type of encryption does the RT8 use? Rolling Code? DVP?
