u/Prior-Implement1028

Hey everyone,

I’m pretty new to radios and trying to figure out compatibility between different models. I have a Baofeng UV-5R and was wondering if it can communicate with a Retevis RT628.

From what I understand, the RT628 is more of a license-free walkie-talkie, while the UV-5R is programmable and covers a wider range of frequencies. Is it possible to get them on the same channel/frequency and have them talk to each other? Or are there limitations (like fixed frequencies, privacy codes, etc.) that would prevent that?

If it is possible, could someone explain what settings I’d need to match?
