Introduction

The Reeves RT-5RV is a portable transceiver that offers high power in the dual band frequency range. It has 50 CTCSS/105 DCS channels and up to 128 channels. Unusual steel mesh construction significantly enhances sound conduction, making it clearer and louder for people to hear. As long as you have them set to the identical frequency and CTCSS/DCS code, they can be used with analogue dual band radios from the reeves or other brands. Keep an eye on two frequencies (or even on distinct bands), and you won’t have to worry about missing a friend’s call. High power coupled with a high gain antenna enables it to typically receive stronger signals and travel long distances. Walkie- talkies with high power for greater penetration and a wider transmission range.

You can pick between high power and low power to preserve electricity or use high power to cover a broader range. By adjusting the 0–9 grades adjustable VOX, you may reduce background noise while keeping your hands free. When it’s dark and you need to find something or meet an emergency, a bright LED flashlight will be helpful.

UNPACKING AND CHECKING EQUIPMENT

Carefully unpack the transceiver. We recommend that you identify the items listed in the following before discarding the packing material. If any items are missing or have been damaged during shipment, please contact your dealers immediately.

BATTERY INFORMATION

INITIAL USE

New batteries are shipped uncharged fully from the factory. Charge a new battery for 5 hours before initial use. The maximum battery capacity and performance is achieved after three full charge/discharge cycles. If you notice the battery power runs low, please recharge the battery.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only the battery specified by the manufacturer. Other batteries may burst, causing bodily injury and property damage.

  • To avoid risk of personal injury, do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
  • Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do not dispose as household waste.
  • Never attempt to disassemble the battery.

BATTERY TIPS:

  1. When charging your battery, keep it at a temperature among 5’t: – 40’t:. Temperature out of the limit may cause battery leakage or damage.
  2. When charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
  3. Do not cut off the power supply or remove the battery when charging a battery.
  4. Never charge a battery that is wet. Please dry it with a soft cloth prior to charge.
  5. The battery will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal performance, it is time to buy a new battery.

PROLONG BATTERY LIFE:

  1. Battery performance will be greatly decreased at a temperature below O’t: A spare battery is necessary in cold weather. The cold battery unable to work in this situation may work under room temperature, so keep it for later use.

The dust on the battery contact may cause the battery cannot work or charge. Please use a clean dry cloth to wipe it before attaching the battery to the radio.

BATTERY STORAGE:

  1. Fully charge a battery before you store it for a long time, to avoid battery damage due to over­ discharge.
  2. Recharge a battery after several months’ storage (Li-Ion batteries: 6 months), to avoid battery capacity reduction due to over-discharge.
  3. Store your battery in a cool and dry place under room temperature, to reduce self-discharge.

NOTE:

Under channel mode, the following menu settings are invalid:CTCSS,DCS,W/N,PTT­ ID,BCL,SCAN ADD TO,S-CODE,CHANNEL NAME.Only the H/L power could be changed.

“SQL” (SQUELCH):

  • The squelch mute the speaker of the transceiver in the absence of reception. With the squelch level correctly set, you will hear sound only while actually receiving signals and significantly reduces battery current consumption. It is recommended that you set Level 5.

FUNCTION “VOX” (VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION):

  • This function is not necessary to push the IPTT) on the transceiver for a transmission. Transmission is activated automatically by detecting the radio voice. When finish speaking, the transmission automatically terminated and the transceiver will automatically receive signal. Be sure to adjust the VOX Gain level to an appropriate sensitivity to allow smooth transmission.

SELECT WIDEBAND OR NARROW BAND “W/N”:

In areas where the RF signals are saturated, you must use the narrow band of transmission to avoid interference in adjacent channels.

TDR (DUAL WATCH/DUAL RECEPTION):

This feature allows you to operate between frequency A and frequency B. Periodically, the transceiver checks whether a signal is received on another frequency that we have scheduled. If you receive a signal, the unit will remain in the frequency until the received signal disappears.

TOT(TRANSMISSION TIMER):

This function can automatically control the time we transmit each time you press IPTT) on the transceiver. This feature is very useful to avoid overheating excessive power transistors of the transceiver.

The transceiver will be off transmission automatically once the set time.

CTCSS/DCS:

In some cases only want to establish communications in a closed user group at a particular frequency or channel, for it will use “CTCSS11 or code “DCS” for reception.

The “squelch” opens only when receiving a frequency with “CTCSS” or codes “DCS” same as the programmed in your transceiver. If codes of the received signal differs from those programmed in your transceiver, the “squelch” will not open and the received signal can be heard.

NOTE:

  • The use of “CTCSS” or “DCS” in a communication, does not guarantee complete confidentiality communication.

ANI

  • ANI (Automatic Number Identification) is also known as PTT ID because an ID is transmitted when the PTT button of the radio is pressed and/or released. This ID tells the dispatcher which field radio was keyed.

Only could be set by PC software.

DTMFST (DTMF TONE OF TRANSMITTING CODE):

First you should set the PTT-ID as BOT/EOT/BOTH

  • “OFF”-Under transmitting mode, you can’t hear the 0TMF tone, while you press the key to transmit the code or code automatically transmitted.
  • “DT-ST”-Under transmitting mode, you can hear the DTMF tone, while you press the key to transmit the code.
  • ” ANI-ST”-under transmitting mode, you can hear the DTMF tone, while the code automatically transmitted.
  • “DT-ANl”-under transmitting mode, you can hear the DTM.F tone, while you press the key to transmit the code or the code automatically transmitted.

SC-REV(SCAN RESUME METHOD):

This transceiver allows you to scan memory channels, all the bands or part of the bands. When the transceiver detects a communication, the scan will stop automatically.

NOTES:

  • “TO11 (Time Operation):

Scanning will stop when it detects an active signal. The scanning will stop on each channel or active frequency for a predetermined time, after that time the scan will resume automatically.

  • “CO” (Carrier Operation):

The scanning will stop and remain in the frequency or channel, until the active signal disappears.

  • “SE”(Search Operation):

The scanning will stop and remain in the frequency or channel after it detects an active signal.

PTT-ID(PTT OR RELEASE PTT TO TRANSMIT THE SIGNAL CODE):

  • This feature allows you to know who call you.
  • “OFF”-Don’t transmit the code while push the PTT button.
  • “BOT”-Transmit the code while push the PTT button.(the code only could be set by PC software.)
  • “EOT”-Transmit the code while release the PTT button.
  • “BOTH”-Transmit the code while push or release the PTT button.

BCL(BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT):

The BCLO feature prevents the radio’s transmitter from being activated if a signal strong enough to break through the “noise” squelch is present. On a frequency where stations using different CTCSS or DCS codes may be active, BCLO prevents you from disrupting their communications accidentally (because your radio may be muted by its own tone decoder).

SFT-D(DIRECTION OF FREQUENCY SHIFT):

The “OFFSET” is the difference or offset between the reception frequency and the frequency of transmission for access to amateur radio repeaters. Set the “OFFSET” according to the “OFFSET” amateur radio repeater through which want to communicate.

OFFSET(FREQUENCY SHIFT):

When communicating via a repeater, the direction of displacement of frequency should be timed to the displacement of the transmission frequency is higher or lower than the receiving frequency. example:

If we want to make a communication through amateur radio repeater whose frequency input is 145,000 MHz and 145,600 MHz is output, we select the “OFFSET” of the previous section in 0600 and the direction of travel “SHIFT” programmed to [-1, so the transceiver will always 145,600 MHz in frequency and when you press I PTTl to transmit transceiver, the frequency will automatically move to 145,000 MHz

STE (TAIL TONE ELIMINATION):

This function is used to activate or deactivate the transmission end of the transceiver. this final tone transmission only be used in communications between transceivers and not in communications through a repeater, which must be deactivated.

What is the Reeves walkie-range? talkie’s

Many radios will claim to have transmission and reception ranges of up to 35 miles, but that is only true in ideal conditions, such as when the radio is in an open field with good sight. Only 0.5w/2w low-power walkie-talkies can communicate over extended distances in comparison to PMR/FRS radios.

Can you use a walkie-talkie while driving?

The quickest response is that they do! Before selecting the best walkie talkie for your needs and your road trip, there are a lot of factors to take into account. For all the information you require on walkie talkies for road trips and how to make the best decision for your upcoming excursion, keep reading!

How close must you be for walkie talkies to function?

A reasonable general rule of thumb is to estimate the coverage range of a commercial walkie-talkie operating in simplex operation to be between 1 and 2 KM (1-1.5 Miles). It’s crucial to mention the usual distance rather than the ideal distance even though some of our customers do travel larger distances.

What walkie-talkie channel has the most signal strength?

Simply put, choose channels 1-7 or 15-22 for greatest power. Numerous power modes are supported by the majority of consumer radios. Make sure you are utilizing high power mode on the channels that let it to achieve the most range. Reduced range is caused by lower power modes, which do not utilize all of your radio’s potential output power.

Can walkie-talkies be affected by weather?

HF radio can be affected by thunderstorm-related atmospheric noise. There might be more than just rain to worry about given that many HF radio users—for military communications or humanitarian needs, for example—operate in harsh conditions.

Can walkie-talkies operate without electricity?

Walkie-talkies are quick and simple to use because you don’t have to dial a number each time you wish to broadcast. The best part is that they are independent of erratic cell phone signals. Because the handsets communicate directly with one another, they continue to function even when cell networks are down due to a natural disaster or a power outage.

What cycle does Reeves follow?

The ultra-high frequency (UHF) band’s channelized frequencies between 462 and 467 MHz are used by this personal radio service.

What is the wattage of a walkie-talkie?

The majority of handheld two-way radios on the market today emit a signal at a power level of 0.5 to 5 watts. Depending on the model, certain business radios can operate with 1 to 5 watts extra power.

Can walkie talkies be used across state lines?

A memorable summer road trip with friends produces enduring memories. Additionally, it provides potential for interesting concepts like walkie- talkies! More good news: in 26 states, walkie-talkies are permitted while driving. Walkie-talkies are a bit of a grey area in the other 24 states.

What distinguishes GMRS radios from FRS radios?

The distinction is that GMRS radios can use specific channels within certain frequencies, whereas FRS radios cannot. The FCC also issues licenses for the use of GMRS radios. They are more potent, which is part of the reason why. It is impossible to modify FRS walkie talkies such that their signal can be amplified to travel farther.

Does walkie-talkie work in the absence of Wi-Fi?

Walkie-Talkie requires connectivity from both users, whether it is via cellular, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth to the iPhone. Not all areas have access to walkie-talkies.

A 5 watt radio can transmit how far?

The 5 watt radio has a range of at least 12 miles. Some handheld radios have 6 watts of power, which, under the appropriate circumstances, can go up to 20 kilometers.

What frequencies are suitable for walkie-talkie?

But neither of these radios can use every channel. In actuality, GMRS walkie talkies are permitted to use channels 15 to 22, but FRS walkie talkies are limited to channels 1 to 15. There are various causes for this, but specific FCC regulations account for the majority of them.

Can two distinct walkie-talkies be used in tandem?

In conclusion, any two or more brands of walkie-talkie CAN be set to use the same frequencies and made to communicate with each other as long as they are in the same frequency band.
