hello, I am looking for some help. my work uses the Retevis RT22 Radio's for channels 1-16. I bought 2 new Retevis RT85 Radio's and I am trying to get them to work with the RT22's. I was able to program channel 1 (462,5625) I am able to hear everyone on that station but when I hit the PTT button no one can hear me. could someone give me some guidance on how I can program these channels on the RT85. I am new and just started getting into the Radio's

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Welcome to the RR forums. Is your work aware and OK with you using personally owned radios on their channels? Speak to whomever is responsible for programming your work's radios to see if they'll lend you a hand
The RT22 is an FRS UHF family radio using unlicensed freqs. The RT85 is an Amateur/ham radio that is not leagal to use (transmit) on FRS freqs. To use the RT85 on the Amateur bands you need an Amateur radio license to transmit, but not to listen to any frequency it can receive.
