What to do if my Retevis Marine Radio cannot transmit or transmit in high power?
- B
  Bruce WardAug 6, 2025
  If your Retevis Marine Radio won't transmit or has limited high power, it could be due to several reasons. Some channels might restrict transmission to low power, so try switching to a channel without this limitation. Alternatively, the battery could be low, requiring you to charge it. Ensure you are not in Weather Channel or Channel 70, as this can also affect transmission. You may also need to press the [Hi/Lo] button to select high power transmit.

  If you're not getting any sound from the loudspeaker of your Retevis Marine Radio, there are a few potential causes. First, the squelch level might be set too high; try adjusting it to a more appropriate level. Second, the volume level could be too low, so increase the volume. Finally, check for water in the loudspeaker and drain it if necessary.

  If your Retevis Marine Radio indicates “ER” and “CHG”, it means that the temperature range for charging is not optimal (exceeds 0~+45°C) or continuing charging causes high battery heat. Move the radio to a cooler environment. You can also power it on when charging.

  If your Retevis Marine Radio cannot communicate on the same channel, it could be due to the channel being set to duplex (DUP). Try selecting a different channel. Alternatively, if you are working in a self-set channel group, ensure that you have set the same channel frequency.
