Quansheng TK11 vs Retevis HA2

The Retevis HA2 is the clear winner here, though the choice depends on your needs. The single most important differentiator is the HA2's IP67 rating, which means it can survive submersion, versus no weatherproofing listed for the TK11. Beyond that, the HA2 includes APRS and Bluetooth support while the TK11 has neither. Both support CHIRP programming, and we lack TX power figures for either radio.

Owners report different experiences. The HA2 has perfect 5.0/5 marks from 2 owners, while the TK11 scores 4.2/5 from 15 owners. The larger sample on the TK11 gives better statistical confidence in that rating, though it represents fewer buyers overall.

The TK11 costs less at 97 dollars versus 110 dollars for the HA2. Buy the TK11 if you want a budget handheld for basic FM use and value the lower price. Buy the HA2 if you need weatherproofing, APRS capability, or Bluetooth connectivity. For most users needing a capable handheld, the HA2's weather resistance and modern features make it the stronger choice despite the price premium.
