Are you fed up with the lousy short-coverage-range, smashed broken plastic, and the constant interference of those consumer-grade radios from retail stores?
Step up to a real industrial radio with an amazing range of capabilities: the KC-589.
VHF or UHF, this radio does it! This tough little radio was made for truckers, construction, warehouses, industrial sites, highway pilot vehicles, cranes, search & rescue, hunting, boating, backwoods logging roads, etc.
Amateur (HAM) operators love this radio! Powerful and easy to use! It's so versatile, some use this radio as a troubleshooting tool for their radio systems.
Great range! - up to 10 Watts Tx power
Avoid fines and seizure of your radios. Use legal equipment! Unlike many unauthorized and illegal radios sold on the Internet, the KC-589 is legal to use in Canada - Approved by ISED (formerly called Industry Canada).
This radio will serve you well in many different scenarios for many years: It is simple enough for any user to just select a channel and start talking, but, also versatile enough to help you scan to find other radio user's channels and even scan to find their CTCSS/DCS privacy tones. The one-button talk-around function allows you to talk to another local user on their repeater channel, even if you are both too far away to hit the repeater.
The kit includes: Radio transceiver, dual band antenna, Li-Ion battery, belt-clip, drop-in charger with AC adaptor and user manual. Select additional accessories as required such as Spare batteries, and Remote Speaker Microphones
