Description

The Radtel RT-493 is a rugged, IP67 waterproof GMRS handheld aimed at commercial users (construction, security) and outdoor users holding a US GMRS license. IMPORTANT: GMRS is a separate, licensed US radio service on a different frequency band than European PMR446 -- this is NOT a PMR446 radio and is not approved as one in Germany. A standout feature is its one-key frequency-copy function, transferring channel and CTCSS/DCS settings from another radio without a PC.
