Instructions for use
Always enquire about local authorizations to be obtained.
Wide-band, duplex mode and keypad programming enable communication with other operators (except if they are using UHF equipment), and the use of a repeater.
Radios are preset to standard frequencies for immediate use.
The antenna of the base station should be erected as high as possible. Base station range depends on antenna height; the maximum is 30 km. The base station should ideally be placed in the middle of the site, with a permanent operator responsible for relaying messages, in order to extend the communication network.
For special situations (longer distances, repeaters etc.), consult your technical department.
