🛠️ Another day, another RT95! In this third installment of our repair/QC series, we tear into another Retevis RT95 returned from Amazon — and surprise, there’s probably nothing wrong with it… again.
📦 Could the problem be as simple as a wrong region code? You bet. These radios might be locked out of 70cm transmit because they weren’t meant for the U.S. market. So before you toss your RT95 into the junk pile — or back to Amazon — watch this.
✅ What you’ll see in this video:
• What *really* happens to Amazon returns
• A teardown of an RT95 "defective" unit
• How region-locking kills functionality
• A quick peek into the QA process
📺 Don’t miss the first two episodes if you want the full RT95 arc:
• https://youtu.be/4mUwD_sgHdg?si=oS-jvtXEfEOgExUd
• https://youtu.be/mWLdPlngRTo?si=DtSsMQAR_qxxaRdA
🔧 Let’s stop calling them “broken” and start calling them “unloved.”
73, Steve – KM9G

Join me on a windy, high-altitude Summits on the Air (SOTA) adventure at McKenzie Butte, where I push the Chameleon CHA-SS25 antenna to its limits. Can this stealthy setup handle the rugged terrain and unpredictable weather? I hike in solo, set up quickly, and make contacts across multiple bands while battling the elements and making fast tactical decisions to stay safe.
📡 Topics Covered:
• SOTA hike-in with portable gear
• Field deployment of the CHA-SS25
• HF contact strategy and logging
• Real-world radio performance review
• Wind, altitude, and antenna durability
