Radtel RT-490 is a clone of the JC-8629 radio (radio disassembly shows internal PCB's engraved JC-8629/8630). To their credit, Radtel significantly expanded support by providing free downloads of both the PC Windows programming software +Multiband+ and the Android Bluetooth software +Super Walki-Talkie+ on their website download section. +Multiband+ is very complete but still, Chirp is easier and supports import/export frequencies using CSV etc. Radtel has officially requested that Chirp developers add the Radtel RT-490 to supported radios. The Radtel RT-490 and the JC-8629 and its clones all are programmable with the standard Baofeng 2-pin K-style programming cable.
Please DO NOT attach the manufacturer's software to the issue. Even if you think the software is freely available via download elsewhere, that does not mean you can legally distribute it yourself. Posting it here also opens up the CHIRP website and community to potential action by owners of that software. If it is downloadable somewhere, feel free to post a link but DO NOT attach it to the issue.

I would love to see somebody come forward for this radio. Kevin the owner below has many more models that may need support and nhe is interested in getting this going. So far the RADTEL works well for me but CHIRP support would mean the world. I love CHIRP and use it almost weekly. This radio interestingly enough picks up AM from the airport down the street and has more memory than the usual baofeng. I would love to be able to "quick program" with CHIRP! Anybody??? Thank you very much to Bernhard for his kind help and advice and thank you to any DEVS that may come forward. As for the "popularity" of this radio... I think Chinese users and Pacific are more familiar with this brand than US based hams, but as ALIBABA and ALIEXPRESS come forward you will see more and more RADTEL radios for sure. The owners / managers at Radtel are friendly and responsive. I hope this helps any US based members and future customers of RADTEL understand their radios. A few things I noted about RADTEL RT-490: - As of today 02/14/2022 the RT490 is NOT supported by CHIRP and attempting to program radio with WOUXUN, ABBREE, or other configs has not worked - Please post here to notify DEVS that you own this radio and that you are interested in CHIRP support - Anybody who succesfully programs this radio with any different manufacturer config please let us know here 09/01/2022 1/24
2 - RADTEL as a brand is actively seeking to obtain CHIRP support for their radios - CHIRP was notified of recent interest in this radio - Radio can be bought via ALIexpress or Radtel's website - China made with decent quality - AM works / picking up local exec Airport etc - Fair priced although more $$$ than Baofeng UV - Cool color display - Bluetooth works well but it is not like having CHIRP PS: I do not work for CHIRP or Radtel. I just like the radio and its price... #4-02/14/ :57 pm - Hello Chirp kevin xie wrote: Hello, I am the manufacturer for radtel rt-490 ham radio, I would like to send sample to make CHIRP compatible.

3 Please change the original request for Equipment Offered to indicate Yes. Last month the distributor lead representative (Keven Xie) offered to provide an RT-490 radio for programming. (note given time differences his response usually takes 1-day) I personally own and like the Radtel RT-490 Multiband radio. I am attaching Radtel's most recent enhanced user guide that includes Multiband and Bluetooth programming guides. When the RT-490 is added to Chirp, as with other Asian radios, Chirp will also be supporting several other brands that utilize the same base electronics and memory map. My research found that the original manufacturer is Math Mark (Fujian) aka MMLradio. MML submitted and received FCC Class B Part 15 certification for this model. MML originally marketed their branded radio as the JJC JC-8629 and currently sells it on Amazon as the MMLradio JC Radtel RT-490 is a clone of the JC-8629 radio (radio disassembly shows internal PCB's engraved JC-8629/8630). To their credit, Radtel significantly expanded support by providing free downloads of both the PC Windows programming software Multiband and the Android Bluetooth software Super Walki-Talkie on their website download section. Multiband is very complete but still, Chirp is easier and supports import/export frequencies using CSV etc. Radtel has officially requested that Chirp developers add the Radtel RT-490 to supported radios. The Radtel RT-490 and the JC-8629 and its clones all are programmable with the standard Baofeng 2-pin K-style programming cable. I had the opportunity to test the programming compatibility between the MML JC-8629 side-by-side with the Radtel RT-490 using Multiband and the Baofeng cable. Also I used my Samsung S21 Bluetooth with the APK that Radtel provides. I was able to read and write to both radios without error. With Multiband I could read the Radtel RT-490 and write it back to the JC-8629 without error (and vice-versa). With Bluetooth Super Walki-Talkie installed on my Samsung S21, I turned on the Bluetooth option on each radio and the S21 recognized and paired without issue. Once paired I was able to program frequencies and menu options easily. The point here is that any effort to include the Radtel RT-490 as a supported Chirp model offers a much larger supported model base than just this one model. These are the Radtel RT-490 compatible clones that have identical keyboard layouts, menu options and designated supported bands. I have identified, and in some cases tested: - Radtel RT-490TESTED (available at Radtels.com) - MMLradio JC-8629TESTED (available on Amazon) - JJCC JC-8629TESTED - Socotran JC-8629 (available on ebay) - Jianpai 8800 Plus (available at Banggood.com) - Hamgeek HG590 (available on ebay) This is a really nice radio sold at a very attractive price considering its support for 6 bands. I really hope someone will take this project on and contact Radtel by "kevin@radtel.com.cn" (note given time differences his response usually takes 1-day) #8-03/26/ :21 pm Hello, I already communicated this to the ML but I have started working on a driver for this radio family. Current status: - Download: 100% - Upload: 0% - Memory structure: 95% - GUI Get/Set Memory Channels: 90% - GUI Get/Set Memory Channels extra: 90% 09/01/2022 3/24
