1 / 7Retevis RT22 Walkie Talkies, 16 Channels, USB-C
USB-C: Retevis RT22 walkie talkies are a two-radio FRS set listed with 16 channels, earpieces and rechargeable batteries. The compact handheld design and hands-free VOX option suit paired communication, but the listed 1.5-mile maximum range is a claim rather than a guaranteed working distance.

- VOX voice activation is described as allowing transmission without pressing the push-to-talk key.
- The listing claims more than 10 hours of use after a full charge, with operating conditions unspecified.
- The manufacturer describes the radios as having an integrated antenna and a belt clip.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the title says USB-C, while the product description identifies a Mini USB charging port. The channel count is 16 in the specifications but 22 in a feature highlight, and dimensions are listed in two conflicting formats. Confirm the selected listing's charging connection and configuration before buying. The claimed 1.5-mile maximum range and over-10-hour battery life are not guaranteed for every environment or usage pattern.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Two people who want compact handheld radios for local coordination.
- Buyers who want included acoustic-tube earpieces and a hands-free VOX option.
Less suited to
- Use in wet conditions, since water resistance is listed as absent.
- Buyers who require a confirmed USB-C charging port or a specific channel count without verifying the selected configuration.
