Hacking Retevis RT622P aka RT22P

It is illegal to use higher power that 0.5W on PMR446 frequencies. Use this only if you want to use the radio on other frequencies you are licensed to use (HAM).

FRS version is the same hardware-wise RT22P.

Update: Retevis released “two” new radios B63B/B3B and RB666P/RB66P, instructions are valid for all of them.

Out of the box the radio is programmed with PMR446 frequencies and classic Retevis subtone selection. They will work with eachother, but to talk to other radios, you may need to set up the subtones the same on all of the used equipment.

Unlocking

It is illegal to use higher power that 0.5W on PMR446 frequencies. Use this only if you want to use the radio on other frequencies you are licensed to use (HAM).

Unlock code retevis will open up changing frequencies and power output settings. On “Hight” (spelled as in CPS - code plug software) should be up to 3W.

You can also use https://bal1.github.io/rt622p/ website to modify the exported file and write it back to radio.
