Retevis RT86S Business Radio with Display—RT86 upgraded version
Retevis recently launched a new commercial walkie-talkie: the upgraded version of RT86 — RT86S with LCD screen.
On the one hand, it increases the convenience of manual operation of commercial machines: in warehouses, summer camps, restaurants, security and other scenes where it is inconvenient to write frequencies on a computer, basic function settings can be made manually (such as changing sub-tones due to signal interference, etc.). On the other hand, the screen can intuitively show the battery power, channel, frequency and other information to prevent the shutdown from affecting work due to failure to pay attention to power consumption in time.
The following aspects are the upgrades of RT86S:
1/Appearance
RT86 has an invisible display. RT86S has an LCD screen and buttons. The transition from invisible display to LCD half screen not only improves the visual effect, but also adds buttons, making the operation more intuitive and convenient. (RT86S GMRS :button has an additional NOAA function.)
