FAQ:

1. Does the Retevis A3 handheld ham radio transmit in SSB (Single sideband)?

The Retevis A3 is equipped with full-band reception, which allows it to receive SSB signals, but it does not transmit in SSB mode. Instead, it uses AM and FM for transmission, which is perfect for everyday communication, including long-range communication in outdoor settings

3. Can the Retevis A3 Pair with UHF Digital Radios?

The Retevis A3 is an analog radio, but it can pair with UHF digital radios when they are set to analog mode.
