🔄 Important Inventory Notice: Retevis vs. TYT

To keep up with the incredibly high demand for our logging road radios, Fleetwood Digital actively stocks both the Retevis RT85 and its factory twin, the TYT TH-UV88. Depending on our stock levels at the exact time of your order, you may receive the TYT-branded version instead of the Retevis.

Please be assured: they are the exact same radio! The TYT TH-UV88 carries the required IC Certification for Canadian logging roads, is programmed with the identical BC RR & LADD channels, looks and operates identically, and uses all of the exact same batteries and accessories. The only difference is the logo printed on the front.

Commercial Frequency:

VHF: 138.025 - 173.975 (REQUIRES COMPUTER PROGRAMMING)
UHF: 406.125 - 429.975 (REQUIRES COMPUTER PROGRAMMING)
UHF: 450.025 - 469.975 (REQUIRES COMPUTER PROGRAMMING)

If you are a licensed Amateur Radio Operator looking for the 2M / 70CM "HAM" version on the radio please click here!

ISED Certified - (IC: 23137-RT85) under RSS-119 for use on commercial land mobile frequencies such as the RR and LADD channels (Logging Roads, Back Country, Western Canada highways) make this radio a great choice for overlanding comms. A valid ISED Land Mobile License for Appendix RR & B1 is required prior to deployment. The application can be downloaded here (Requires free Adobe reader)

Packed with a standard dual band rubber duck antenna, a Lithium Ion battery pack, and North America 110V desktop charger, this radio is complete right out of the box. Numerous accessories are available to complete your purchase and be ready for your adventures.

🆕 Prefer a Simpler Radio with USB Charging?

If the RT85 has a few too many buttons for your liking, we have a new alternative! The Pofung P11UV Logging Road Radio is programmed with the exact same BC RR & LADD channels as the RT85, but features a streamlined, simplified keypad to prevent accidental button presses while on the road or trail.

The P11UV also adds highly requested features like direct USB charging (no bulky charging cradle required) and built-in NOAA Weather Channels so you can easily stay updated on backcountry weather conditions.
