- It fits in the palm of my hand, but the 20 watts gets the signal out. This review will show the radios features and how to use it.

Had this one in my vehicle for 3 years and love it😀👍
Good to here; I'm thoroughly impressed so far.
Also happy to see an actual review of this, alot of the other channels just did unboxing and didnt really put it to use on camera. Earned a Subscriber.
Thanks for the sub; I do try to give viewers some value in exchange for the time investment thy make to watch.
It's the same radio as the Retevis RT-73. Yes it's a very nice size and it holds so much promise but it will eventually brick like mine and others. It'll start by losing frequencies and then will start shutting down until it just won't boot up anymore.
Appreciate sharing your experience; the more information available, the more informed individuals can be in their decision making. Thanks.
Great review. I really want this radio, gotta make room for it.
Thanks T.O. The size of a stack of 3 X 5 cards is all the space you'll need.
I'd love to see a follow up video on the various interfaces possible with the K Connector on the left side. I plan on putting a TNC on mine soon. A simple Audio cable to Android phone is a cool touch as well.
Another great video. I borrowed one of these from a friend for a couple weeks. I like it for the most part, but there were a couple little oddities that frustrated me. I'm thinking if I had a little more time with it I would have grown to like it a little more. Now that I see that you have used it and like it, I might order one just as a little DMR base here in the shack! 73
Thanks for the view and positive feedback. Its still on top of my 7300 and I don't have any plans on moving it...
Thanks for the video! Watch out for flooding and tornadoes today!!
Thanks for the view. Monitoring local UHF / VHF for weather updates now; all good so far.
Will be in Tampa Pota Sat Sun from Ocala Kg4Vet
Great vid .. been looking at the 25 for awhile! Thanks for making up my mind
Thanks for the feedback; I'm impressed so far. Hopefully more people chime in with their experience so it can be added to mine.
3M Hook & Loop fasteners do work, but if you really need something to 'stick' to something else, I recommend 3M Dual-Lock. I've found that it has a much better hold for heavier items or items that may get quite a bit of vibration, such as a radio mounted in a vehicle, and it doesn't seem to wear out as quickly or get clogged with fuzz like Hook & Loop fasteners.
Thanks for the feedback and suggestion.
00:55 Worthy of a 👍 by itself. 😂
LOL, another member to the small club of people who get me wise guy side.
Curious if the DB25D will transmit outside of the ham bands. According to their website, it is Part 90, but the manual says ham band transmit only.
Ham bands only. If there is an unlock sequence, I'm not familiar with it.
Curious what your attic antenna is for 2 & 70CM?

Can this radio be programmed manually without the software?
I have had mine for right at a full year, mostly use in the shack to reach local repeater and occasionally use with my hotspot depending on what talkgroup and how long i want to be on. Seems to work well on analog as well, programming wasnt the monster it is being made out to be if familiar with dmr. So far no complaints. 73!

Thanks for the feedback on this little gem; I always like to hear what other people experience with gear, even if it doesn't match mine. The more info the better for others.
No Bluetooth built in?
No BT
Mine locks up and the cooling fan stoped working.
