Licensed digital DMR
Fellwave FW-400
Our standard hire radio. Licensed 5 W UHF digital, no screen, USB-C charging.
The FW-400 is the radio we send out most. It is a licensed UHF DMR handheld with a 16-position channel knob and no screen, so there is nothing for a new user to get lost in. It runs digital and analogue on 256 channels, has a 2600 mAh battery that charges from USB-C as well as the drop-in charger, and uses the common 2-pin accessory connector so earpieces are cheap and easy to replace. It goes out programmed, charged and licensed.
