Specna Arms Dual Band Shortie-82 Radio

Specna Arms Dual Band Shortie-82 Radio

Shortie-82 was created in cooperation with Baofeng and is a so-called duo-bander, i.e. a radio that operates in two frequency ranges - VHF and UHF. However, the double band is not all that this device has to offer. The Shortie-82 model features more doubled elements, making it a very universal tool for radio communication, both in the air, on land and at sea.

Features of the radio:

• PTT button that allows you to change the transmission channel without the need to manually switch channels
• FM radio will automatically switch from reception in the 76-108MHz range as soon as a signal appears on the selected VFO A and B channels 
• possibility to operate on a selected band, on two different frequencies (transmission / listening on the main frequency + listening on the auxiliary frequency)
• blocking of transmission on a occupied channel
• voice confirmation of the operation
• manual keypad lock
• energy saving mode
• programming from a computer via RS or USB
• most of the functions have assigned keyboard shortcuts, so there is no need to go through the multi-level menu each time
• backlit LCD screen which, apart from alphanumeric characters, also displays icons confirming the status of most of the built-in functions
• the housing is made of a thick layer of hard plastic, which significantly increases the mechanical resistance
• operation temperature range from -20 * C up to + 60 * C,
