This radio is aimed at someone wanting the best, whilst being fully compatible with the Mitex General. It will arrive specifically programmed to the same channels and frequencies, as well as the DCS and CTCSS coding. Legal for use in the UK with the appropriate licence (see below).

Based on the latest Retevis RT86, this premium Mitex General alternative will be ready for immediate use straight from the box having been prepared, programmed, tested, and fully charged. The only thing you will need to do is attached the antenna. You may choose to fit the optional belt clip and/or lanyard, both are included.

A bit about me... I have had a practical involvement in radio communications since the early 80's, I am licenced by Ofcom to operate across a broad spectrum of frequencies from 1.8MHz to 1.3GHz and have a particular interest in the VHF and UHF bands.

A licence is required to operate these radios legally in the UK, either as an individual, group, or business. One licence covers any number of radios, costs £75 for five years, and can be applied for online or by post (copy and paste the following in to your browser):

N.B. The Retevis RT86, as imported, is not legal for use in the UK. The radio I supply is programmed to exactly match the Mitex General (all channels), and channels 13,14 and 15 are compatible with all the Mitex UHF analogue handhelds including Security, Site and HD UHF, 100% legal for use in the UK.
