• You may add a base station to more than double the range of a hand portable radio

* range is mainly dependant on terrain, for example one clients mobile radio system provides 3 miles range in one direction (due to hills) and 40 miles range in another. Careful equipment selection and system engineering will significantly improve your range, please ask us for advice.

In addition to the benefits above Selcall enables a hand-held or vehicle mounted radio to possess the all the benefits of PMR radio plus many of the facilities found on a mobile phone and more, see the radios feature list for its unique selcall features.
