This Amazon Return Had a Secret

This Amazon Return Had a Secret

Another Amazon return lands on the bench, and this time it’s a Retevis RT95.

The question is simple: what’s actually wrong with it? Is it user error? A real failure? A weird setting? A cable issue? Something obvious hiding in plain sight?

In this episode of the Amazon Return series, I work through the radio step by step and try to figure out whether this thing deserves to be called broken, or whether it’s another case of “returned for reasons unknown.” No spoilers here, because the fun is in the troubleshooting trail.

If you’ve ever bought returned electronics, fixed a “dead” radio, or wondered what really happens when gear gets sent back, this one is for you.

RF Tap (Short #201)

@Edjackson5910 wonders if a RF tap is really neccesary to just measure output. What does Dave think?
