SP508 Radio and Headset
We have imported a small simple 500mW handheld transceiver that runs on 4 AAA cells but uses the "K" series headset that the 3W sp23022AA uses , so later on you could upgrade to the long distance big brother radio. .The system is designed for those who want to try bike to bike communications but don't want to invest a lot of money in a system.
The whole system ( "K" series twin earspeaker headset
,cables, handlebar PTT button ) and radio sells for
NZ$110 , This is a system "ready to go" straight out of the box
.The range like all radio systems ,is very dependant on the position of the
antenna in relation to the users body . In the jacket pocket
gives the worst range (couple of hundred yards) up to stuck to the
side of the helmet out in the clear may give a couple of Kms out in open
country.(not the best look !! ). The radio uses AAA alkaline cells , it would be economical to
purchase rechargeable NiMHydride cells (these are
supplied ) but always take some ordinary alkaline
cells in case you ever get caught out on a ride with flat rechargable cells. The
radio is NOT water resistant and would need
to be placed in a zip lock bag or something similar.
These radios meet AS/NZS 4365- 1996 specifications
and have Australasian compliance approval .
There is a simple modification to increase the effective range of this radio by
changing the wire helical antenna inside the rubber duckie with a
more efficent quarter wave length (15cm) antenna , if you purchase two
systems at once I will perform this modification
for free but you have to remind me at purchase
time ( im sure you wont forget if something is free )
Price: (headset and radio) $110.00
each, plus postage with "thin mic" headset and
external PTT Button
available in boom mic as well
6 month warranty on parts and labour, postage at customers expense , misuse, visual neglect and damage negates warranty. ie our usual policy applies
"You look after it and we will look after You! "
