RUYAGE RT20 Key Features

20W Maximum RF Output

The RT20 provides a manufacturer-rated maximum RF output of 20 watts, making power output one of its principal features. Higher transmit power can improve the available communication link under suitable operating conditions.

• Manufacturer-rated maximum 20W RF output
• Designed for compatible long-range communication
• Suitable for authorized VHF and UHF operation
• Direct radio-to-radio communication without cellular service

Actual RF output can vary by frequency, battery charge, antenna, operating mode and hardware version. Higher wattage does not guarantee a specific communication distance and must only be used where legally authorized.

Dual Band VHF and UHF Communication

The RUYAGE RT20 supports listed operation across two commonly used radio bands:

• VHF: 136–174 MHz
• UHF: 400–470 MHz

VHF frequencies can be useful in compatible open-area applications, while UHF frequencies can be suitable for compatible communication around buildings and developed environments. Actual performance depends on the authorized frequency, antenna, terrain and surrounding conditions.

The listed frequency coverage includes frequencies assigned to different radio services. Not every frequency within these ranges is available for general, business, amateur or licence-free use.

Long-Range Direct Radio Communication

The combination of 20W maximum output, dual-band capability and a suitable antenna is designed to support extended direct communication in favorable conditions.

Actual range depends on terrain, buildings, elevation, antenna position, frequency, interference, weather, battery condition and receiving-radio performance. Open areas with a clear line of sight generally provide better results than cities, forests, valleys or indoor environments.

No fixed distance should be guaranteed unless it has been verified under documented test conditions.

199 Programmable Channel Memories

Store and organize up to 199 channel memories for compatible frequencies, groups and operating configurations.

• 199 channel memory capacity
• Convenient access to frequently used configurations
• Flexible organization for radio users and teams
• Suitable for compatible VHF and UHF channel programming

The 199-channel capacity describes the number of memory positions available in the radio. It does not mean that 199 frequencies are automatically licensed or authorized for transmission.

Dual PTT and Dual Reception

The dual PTT design provides convenient access to two configured communication options without repeatedly navigating through the radio menu.

• Two push-to-talk controls
• Dual-band operating support
• Dual reception and channel-monitoring capability
• LCD display for channel and operating information

Exact dual-reception and dual-PTT behavior may depend on the selected operating mode, channel configuration and firmware version.

AI Noise Reduction

The manufacturer-listed AI noise-reduction function helps reduce selected background noise and improve voice intelligibility in compatible operating conditions.

• Designed to reduce distracting environmental noise
• Supports clearer received or transmitted voice communication
• Useful for outdoor and busy working environments
• Works together with the radio's built-in audio system

Noise reduction cannot eliminate every background sound. Performance depends on noise type, microphone position, signal strength, radio settings and the surrounding environment.

2600mAh Rechargeable Battery

The included 2600mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides portable power for extended radio operation and outdoor activities.

• 2600mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery
• Removable battery design
• Included battery charger
• Suitable for extended operating periods

Actual operating and standby time depends on transmit power, transmit-to-receive ratio, battery condition, display use, audio volume, signal conditions and temperature. Frequent transmission at maximum output will consume battery power more quickly.

LCD Display and Accessible Controls

The built-in LCD screen displays channel, frequency and operating information, helping users manage compatible radio configurations.

• Clear LCD information display
• Channel and frequency information
• Battery and operating indicators
• Dual PTT controls for convenient operation

Durable Outdoor Design

The RT20 features a substantial handheld housing designed for outdoor communication and field use. The radio weighs approximately 490 g and includes a belt clip and carrying strap.

The supplied specifications describe a waterproof design but do not identify a confirmed IP rating. Until the applicable IP rating is verified in the official manual or product certification, do not advertise the RT20 as suitable for immersion or continuous exposure to heavy rain.

Suitable for Licensed Radio Applications

When properly programmed to compatible and authorized frequencies, the RUYAGE RT20 can support communication in a variety of environments.

• Licensed amateur radio operation where permitted
• Outdoor activities, hiking and camping
• Property and field communication
• Event and venue coordination
• Compatible licensed construction and security operations
• Transportation and logistics communication
• Emergency preparedness and backup communication

The RT20 is not a substitute for a mobile phone, satellite messenger, emergency beacon or certified life-safety communication system.
