Very useful radio to carry when shopping. Easier than using a phone.
Purchase a Kenwood connector to USB cable to connect to computer for programming if desired.
The T26 can connect to CHIRP software by using > Retevis > RT22FRS as the vendor and model #.
The 16 channels are already setup with DTCS or TSQL tones and Narrow FM at High Power (2watts).

Son muy útiles, los compré para los meseros del restaurante de mi primo, funcionan super bien y son muy cómodos para tenerlos todo el dia. La batería dura bastante. Son fáciles de usar.

They are NOT Programmable (I’ll help you out with this. Straight to point) and that is the sole reason I bought them. That should be listed in description very big. They are not supported by BaoFeng so there is no program for it. CHRIP does not support it, BaoFeng do not support it on their own website. Otherwise, it’s slim, lightweight, loud and I love all that but I can’t use it.

These hold a great charge for a long time. You can talk most of the day. Great for working in a lumber yard or working in a building with others so you can keep in contact with each other. I got these to be able to work on the farm and in my motorhome. The signal strength is awesome. I got about a mile and a half. Very nice. Easy to use. Almost like a cell phone. Great quality of sound. No breaking up or anything it. It's really clear. Very happy

We do a lot of exploring and basically running around and sometimes the phone either isn't convenient or doesn't get reception. At this price point you can get a really nice set of Walkie Talkies that work surprisingly well. I haven't tried them at any great distances however I do live in a larger river valley and wherever I have tried them they have worked well. These are rechargeable via USB-C ports, and I can't say how long the charge lasts but I haven't had them run out while out and about yet. These are very small and if you don't put the clip or string on it, they could be tucked away in even a small pocket or pouch. The clip actually helped give it a bit more thickness which for me made it feel a bit more comfortable. If you put the clip on you need to push it into place and then sort of pull and snap it down. I tried to demonstrate this with the last three photos but basically you do it like I said rather than sliding it down. The sides have the ports for charging and the headphone/microphone. The other side has the push-to-talk button and two buttons to change channels and these work as expected. Overall, I have no problem with this set of Walkie Talkies and can easily recommend them to anyone looking at them right now. With that said, if something does come up or the rechargeable batteries prematurely fail, I will be sure to come back and update my review.

We're very impressed with the power and performance of this walkie talkie set. They worked perfectly out of the box (after a charge via the USB C port). These have 16 FRS two way UHF channels. The internal 1800mAh battery is rated for 8-12 hours of continuous use and 48 hours on standby. This set came with earpieces, lanyards, belt clips, and USB cable and charger. Given the functionality, performance, and quality of this set, the price is super attractive.

I've been looking for some basic FRS radios that I can toss to unlicensed friends on outdoor and offroad adventures. I wanted USB-C charging so they could just use their own phone chargers and I wouldn't have to keep track of anything other than the radio. These fit that need perfectly. They are lightweight and thin.
A charger and cord that splits into two USB-C ports is included so you can charge them both at the same time. The same LED that lights up when transmitting lights up red when charging and turns green when charged. It is very faint and I had to shade the radios to see it. It appears much brighter in the pictures than it is. The ear pieces that are included are cheap quality but usable. Also included are lanyards and belt clips. The belt clips do not slide in from the top. They have to be lined up with the tabs where they go and then pushed down.
I was hoping maybe I'd be able to add MURS channels using a programming cable, but the CHIRP software would not recognize them at the time of this review. So they are locked into only FRS channels, which is fine being that they are FRS radios. When you change the channel a voice announces which channel you are on. When you scan, the voice just says "on", which isn't very explanatory. I haven't had the chance to test the range yet. With short distances the sound quality is very good, much better than expected.
Overall I am very pleased with these FRS radios so far. While not top of the line, I do think they are a very good value.

UE, video production company owner here. On set we all are used to using those heavy Motorolas. These may end that. Ultra lightweight, ultra slim, and in testing, a solid signal at over 100 meters and very clear loud audio.
I’m really curious to find out how many you can have running at the same time, what the max range is, and also, is there a charger base as clearly they have the pins on the bottom to plug into something.
I’m really impressed with these radios and I am hard to impress. Will buy more.
Note: the instructions don’t really show how to install the clips. You don’t slide them in. You angle it and push them in as shown in my photo.
