Heya again Lewis! Thanks for the long range test on the HD1! I have subscribed to your channel as I am also a HAM here in Dublin. I have been researching the HD1 for about 2 months and your previous review helped me decide that this is indeed the furure of HAM radio. I received my radio from Amazon UK last Wednesday, but haven't inputted any DMR code to it yet, just local 2m repeaters. I have been watching your videos for several months & like your W/T collection. I too have 4 Motorola i355's AND 2 Baofeng UV-5R's & a UV-82! Radio addicts LOL I may need a nudge to program this radio, I think I have watched ALL youtube's How To videos. Regards, EI2EBB
Hey John thanks for commenting! Haha good stuff on the collection! How cool are the i355's! Rare to get here in the UK and Ireland too. Stay tuned I have a handheld collection video coming soon although it may have to be done in 2 parts! ;)
Good test and yes, with DMR, it's all or nothing but the quality of the audio compared to analogue, at distance, is really impressive. Thanks for the test. 73
Cheers as always :)
Recently passed my foundation license and I'm thinking this will be a good radio for starting out with.
Thanks for the new HD1 video Lewis! As always, great stuff. It would be interesting, for your own curiosity, to use one of the free on line path profile calculators to see exactly what the RF path is/should be like especially on the longer range tests like this one. Quite often the "computer says no" when in fact the RF path does just about scrape through! Great work, 73 Brian EI8EJB
I'll have to look in to doing that Brian! Cheers as always! :)
I have done this with Hts and Mobile to my house. The computer says "absolutely NOT", but I get contact, even with canyons, forests, and mountains in between radios. There is a reason that they call it F.M. ,because it is F-ing Magic :)
Great video, I’m about to buy this radio for my local police and ham
Thanks for sharing this video and info
Last week I was gifted one of these. My brother W9GFH near Chicago uses DMR.
I am near Nashville Tennessee 73 de AA4SH
So good a radio here, no wait it was cause you were doing it on a video.Lol Nice one again
Hi Lewis!
Finally subscribed after being a watcher of your videos for quite some time.
You have an excellent channel, with great video quality and interesting content.
However, you are directly to blame for my continued and baffling habit of buying more radios and accessories than one person could ever need! Watch a video and soon after, another radio arrives. It's out of control!! :)
And also, through your channel, you have introduced me to several other great UK radio RUclips channels.
It's not helping with my CRAP (Compulsive Radio Acquisition Problem) either!
Please keep up the great work, and enjoy the new house mate, nothing better than coming home to a place that you can call your own!
73's from Adam VK3SWL.
Hey Adam, thanks for the kind words! I'm glad I inspired you to get more radios! I'll be doing a collection video soon so stay tuned! Best 73 for now :)
Have seen and read a number of favourable reviews for this new brand from the Retevis stable. Have decided to take the plunge and see how it performs out and about as well as with pi-star around the house. Many thanks for your interesting and varied videos. Assume you gave up on recovering the drone from the canal bed!
Cheers mate! Hope you enjoy it! The drone was definitely a write off!
Not seen this radio before. Seems a new make every week. Cannot knock the cost at which they can knock these out. Good video, sound and lighting spot on.
Learn more about this radio, please check this link: www.retevis.com/hd1/
Yeah it's crazy how quick they're coming mate! Got LOADS more on the way too. Collection video coming soon too! Thanks so much and 73!
Fantastic review as usual - M6OEW
Thank you Liam!
I use this at my business on FRS/GMRS. Needed something heavier duty compared to the tiny Motorolas that look like toys.
It is a Chinese version of a Motorola XPR7550 and I hear the only difference is it doesn’t say Motorola on it, quickly number 1 in my choices
Hello sir. I ordered this radio because there are so many videos by you on how it works. :}
I purchased the Ailunce HD1 GPS model , I had to return the radio due to the short battery life , the standard HD1 battery life is fine .
I turned the GPS off & the radio still drained the battery in no time , I even swapped the battery & the radio was still power hungry .
Another good video as always looks good handheld take care mark from Loughborough Leicestershire CT 2674
Thanks as always Mark much appreciated. 73 for now!
that never turned out like I wanted it to say it changed things that I never noticed before posting. It was meant to say "so good a radio I can hear it here, no wait it was cause you were doing it on the video. Lol
Brilliant & really helpful videos . I was wondering if this model will work on dpmr 446 ?
Take care Lewis watch all your videos keep up good work take care mark from Loughborough Leicestershire CT 2674
Thanks as always Mark much appreciated. 73 for now!
Being able to see the HD1 screen when you were in the car shows how good the screen is unless it is in bright light. Your studio lighting is excellent for when you are talking to the camera. I hope you can find a way to change the lighting for closeups when the screen needs to be visible, since it was quite washed out in your previous video. (Video &sound quality are superb, by the way.)
Mike, N9KHZ
Hey Mike, yeah you're absolutely right, I use a better camera now so I can turn up the exposure a bit and the lights down so the screen is easier to see.
Thank you for sharing as always .
I was wondering if this radio can be programmed for UHF PMR 446 ?.
Good stuff as always! I'm reallyu considering getting one of those radios myself. If it had VHF as well I probably would've bought one already to be fair. Still seems like a smashing bit of kit though. I'm a bit torn between the HD1 and the TYT MD-2017, which does VHF/UHF analog and DMR
Yeah you should seriously get one, i can't comment on the 2017 as I've never tried one, the antenna fault put me off it! 73 for now
Yeah the 2017 has its pros and cons for sure. The HD1 does seem like a much better mix of functions and features. On a slightly unrelated sidenote I can mention than I'm about to order a SenHaiX 6900 network radio. It seems to be the newest more rugged looking model available, and it's very reasonably priced. I can get back to you about it if you're interested. It costs way less than the RT4. 73 SA7BHV
Electricguy the HD1 is both UHF and VHF :)
As said HD1 does VHF/UHF analog and digital.
I've tried to comunicate with a friend who are 1km appart from me at a urban enviorement and the result was no good: we don't listen to each other at VHF, just at UHF. In analog mode we do listen each other loud and clear both in UHF and VHF. We use a Baofeng DM-1701 with openGD77 and the same TS and CC.
What power was the radio on, high, med or low
Great video! The audio coming out of the TYT seems muffled. I've read other reports where people complain about low audio transmitted from the HD1. The speaker in the HD1, however, is no slouch.
golf-n-guns I have an HD1 audio sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very muffled and low!!!!!They came out with the new Firmware but did not fix shit!Still sounds my very Muffle and low!!!!!!! hd1 gps Sucks I’m very pissed!
I’ve not had a problem, I found the audio quite clear with plenty of gain. I did order directly from Retevis, perhaps others are getting old stock? In the latest firmware you can also increase the mic gain if you prefer.
Not sure if should sell my Wouxun KG-UV9d+ and Radioditiy RD-5R to buy this, is it easier to use, please?
Se u again kamerad..
If... I must buy only one product,
Ailunce hd1 vs alinco dj md5.. which one should i buy?
Thx
this HT Stability Frequency is 1 ppm. motorola Xir is 0.5 ppm. majority is 2.5 ppm.
Hi Lewis, just a noobie question: in analog mode, this radio transmits all over UHF band (400-480) or it is limited to transmit in ham UHF range 430-440?
400-480 approx Jackson, so all over UHF :)
Hi Lewis, I see that Roydon has his radio in it's cradle whilst in use, is this ok for all types of hand held radios? I have an HD1, thanks. M7KSD
Hey Kev I'm not sure, I don't do it with any myself
Are you concerned using a 10W portable regarding RF energy near your head. I am reading mixed things, and also realize that Retevis may overestimate the power. Just wondering your opinion.
I was checking this topic while ago when i got 25W lexien, and i would not be afraid. Only real danger that was proven is damage to retina in eyes.
Here is paper baking that up -> www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14628311
But being realistic there is difference between sleeping near to TX station working 24/hours than using 10W radio couple times (until battery die) on weekly trips.
That's my personal opinion, but after reading research i 'm not afraid using it.
Can I connect with baofeng dm5r?
I can pick buxton up from home sat in bed 19.9 miles exactly
Does this have the ptt tone like Motorola radios do ?
Hey Lewis, when charging your HD1 does your base get extremely hot and smell like it is burning ? Unfortunately mine does and it's kinda worrying to charge it ! Daydd M6ULU
Hey Daffyd, no issues this side mate!
No issues with mine either (I have four of them). Try another charger and/or battery.
as good as theses video's are ,, what output power are the radios kicking out ,,, and i noticed u was on stock antenna but the other guy was in a house ? on what antenna ??
God knows it was 6 years ago
HOW DOES IT WORK ON OUTDOOR ANTENNA
DMR definitely cleaner
Notice squad
What is the music?
Why no repeaters?
Test it inside the city bet it wont reach 20 miles …
… you know how radio works… well done you
Not best modulation and reception though...
