Details of the giveaway are below.

The Retevis RA89R is a refined version of the very popular RA89. It has a slightly larger screen with larger fonts for easier visibility. The menu system has been updated and refined to make it easier to use. The biggest new features include AM air band reception and built-in Crossband Repeat capability! There are a few key other differences with the new RA89R: It is IP54 radio instead of IP68 and max power is 5 watts. However, the RA89 can be programmed using bluetooth with the Retevis app on your phone, or with a USB-C cable using the PC app. It also features two PTT buttons; one for each VFO. This rugged little radio may become your favorite new HT!

How to win this radio on Father's Day:
  • The giveaway is open to all active members of worldwidedx.com. "Active" means, you must have a minimum of 5 posts in this community before the drawing. The posts can be any meaningful reply to an existing thread, a post about your own radio activities, pictures, of your station or you operating, or really anything that contributes to this community. A reply to this thread signing up for the drawing does not count toward your post count.

If no review is posted, you forfeit your eligibility for future drawings and risk being invoiced by Retevis for the full amount of the radio.
  • You do not need to have a ham license to win this radio, but it is helpful for posting the review. If you don't have a ham license, maybe this will encourage you to get one :)

I will not be participating in the giveaway, as I have won twice already. But I want to wish everyone good luck anyway. (y)
Same, I won a similar but better ht some months ago and this one seems more geared for those with vision issues, I hope someone who could benefit from that wins it. Good luck everybody!
