Retevis NR30: FCC filing & specs

FCC filing

FCC ID: 2A3OONR30 (fccid.io mirror of FCC EAS; official search: FCC OET)
Grantee: Shenzhen Ysair Technology Co., LTD (grantee code 2A3OO, also on the HA1G grant)
Equipment class: Licensed Non-Broadcast Transmitter Held to Face (TNF); separate receiver grant
Grant date: 2023-10-31 (Change in identification of presently authorized equipment (original FCC ID OA8-TC368, granted 2023-10-13))
Power basis: ERP: effective radiated power, measured with the antenna (what this means)

Band (our label)	Frequency range on grant	Filed watts (ERP)	Rule part	Emission code
462 main	462.55–462.725 MHz	1.66	95E	14K0F3E
462 interstitial	462.5625–462.7125 MHz	1.78	95E	14K0F3E
467 main (repeater input)	467.55–467.725 MHz	1.64	95E	14K0F3E
467 interstitial	467.5675–467.7125 MHz	0.39	95E	11K0F3E

Grant comment: "Output Power listed is ERP. The transmitter has maximum duty factor of 75 %. This device is authorized to operate in the following radio services: GMRS (Part 95E)." The same rows appear on the original grant, OA8-TC368 (Quanzhou Chierda Electronic Telecom, 2023-10-13), which reports SAR of 1.17 W/kg head and 1.39 W/kg body-worn. The user manual filed with the grant lists RF power as 1.8/0.5 W and 30 channels. An r/gmrs commenter put the NR30 at about 8 W on high; neither filing supports that. The NR30S is a different radio with its own FCC ID (2ASNSNR30S, granted 2024-12-04) and files 4.966 W ERP on the 462 MHz main channels. Source: https://fccid.io/2A3OONR30, checked 2026-10-22.

Maker's claims vs FCC filing

Maker says

"comes with high power, easy to get long-distance communication" source

FCC filing shows

1.66 W ERP (462 main), 1.78 W ERP (462 interstitial), 1.64 W ERP (467 main) grant

Our read

Retevis gives no wattage. The grant puts the NR30 at roughly a third of the 4.1–5.5 W ERP most handhelds here file, about 4–5 dB lower. Its 8 repeater channels are the bigger range lever.

"Not listed" means this model isn't on the NWS list of radios approved for the NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards logo. It doesn't mean the radio can't receive weather broadcasts. The maker pages we checked don't say whether alerts use SAME county codes. See the weather radio guide.

Common questions

Is the Retevis NR30 legal to use on GMRS?

Yes, as certified equipment: FCC ID 2A3OONR30 was granted on October 31, 2023 with GMRS (Part 95 Subpart E) transmit rows. Check that the label on your unit shows this FCC ID, and note that you still need an FCC GMRS license to transmit.

How many watts is the Retevis NR30?

The FCC grant lists 1.66 W ERP on the 462 MHz main channels and 1.64 W on the 467 MHz main channels used to reach repeaters. The maker's power figure: No wattage stated; Retevis says it "comes with high power". ERP includes the stock antenna, so it usually reads a little under the maker's transmitter rating.

Does the Retevis NR30 work with GMRS repeaters?

Maker documents: Yes – 8 repeater channels (channels 23–30, per Retevis's FAQ).

Is the Retevis NR30 waterproof?

Water rating in the maker's documents: IP67 ("1 meter of water for 30 minutes"). IP67 means it survived temporary immersion in testing; IP54–IP66 cover splashes, rain or jets but not submersion.

Does the Retevis NR30 get NOAA weather alerts?

Maker documents: None listed.
