Retevis rt622 programming software?

ericmark · 7 Dec 2022

I have tried Chirp with a USB lead which connects to mic/speaker sockets, but failed to work, I want to know the radio I have found uses 114.8 TSQL for channels 1 to 8, but failed to find the tone 9 to 16, I have been programming my Baofeng BF-888 to try and find the tone used, but to date have failed. Need to know if adding to the radios used by the railway, I often take my own radio in so we have a few extras, until this week could only monitor, now can use at least some channels, but would be nice to be able to use all.

Tried to down load, could not get it to install, zipped up it seems, and could not find program to unzip it. I tried using the 888 radio and programming it with different tone on every channel, and by luck found the tone 1 - 8, but it takes time that method, specially checking just 8 channels at a time.

Right click on the file, and select extract all.

Well done, make sure you have the driver installed as well.

Came as a package, but been told not to come in until Wednesday so will have to wait and see if it works. So much has changed, I started when we still used valves, just starting to use transistors, Clive Sinclar was making radio kits, I was making them up and selling at school until teachers realised not that many pupils needed hearing aids.

Have UK licence now, but started as a VP8
