Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 5W output compare to other handheld radios?
5 Watts is the legal maximum transmit power for handheld UHF CB radios in Australia. This provides the absolute best range and penetration possible for a portable unit, making it comparable in performance to many fixed vehicle-mounted units, ensuring you stay connected even in difficult terrain.
Can I use these for long-range communication?
With a 17km range capability and 5W power, these are the best choice for long-range handheld communication. While real-world distance is always dictated by terrain and obstacles, these units give you the maximum possible power to reach vehicles or bases further away than any other standard handheld.
Are these radios truly waterproof?
Yes, they carry an IP67 rating, meaning they are completely dust-tight and can be submerged in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes. They are built for extreme adventure, making them the perfect choice for deep water crossings, heavy rain, and harsh, dusty outback tracks.
Are these units compatible with accessories like speaker mics?
Yes, these units are designed to be compatible with a range of professional accessories including speaker microphones and earpieces. This allows you to keep the radio securely clipped to your gear while using a convenient remote mic for easier operation while driving or spotting.
What makes this twin pack the ultimate choice for a convoy?
This pack is the top-tier option for serious touring. By equipping your convoy with 5W units, you ensure that even the lead and tail vehicles in a large group have clear, reliable communication. It eliminates the "dead spots" often found with lower-powered radios, making your trip safer and better coordinated.
