Zartek ZA-722 Compact Licence-Free Two-Way Radio | Choose Single or Twin Pack
The Zartek ZA-722 is a compact UHF handheld radio designed for straightforward team communication without cellular airtime or an individual radio licence when operated on its factory-programmed licence-free frequencies.
Choose the Single Pack when adding one radio to an existing compatible setup, or the Twin Pack when you need two matching ZA-722 radios for a pair of users.

Why Choose This Product?
- Licence-free operation: 500 mW UHF operation on the factory-programmed 446 MHz licence-free channels.
- Choose one or two radios: select the pack size that matches whether you are expanding an existing radio group or equipping two users.
- Compact and easy to carry: each radio weighs approximately 125 g including its battery and belt clip.
- Rechargeable: each radio uses a 1000 mAh Li-ion battery and supports USB charging.
- Hands-free support: VOX can automatically activate transmission when used with a compatible headset.
- Programmable when required: supported channel, tone, squelch, VOX and scanning settings can be adjusted from a PC using the optional Zartek GE-254 programming cable.
Range estimates are approximately 600 m–1.2 km indoors, 2–6 km outdoors and 10–30 km with elevated line-of-sight. Actual range depends on terrain, buildings, elevation, interference and other environmental conditions.
Before You Buy
- The ZA-722 operates on the 446 MHz UHF licence-free band at 500 mW in its approved factory configuration.
- Both radios must use compatible frequencies and matching tone settings where CTCSS or DCS tones are enabled.
- CTCSS and DCS tones help filter unwanted received traffic; they do not encrypt or secure a conversation.
- The antenna is integrated rather than a detachable user accessory.
- PC programming requires the optional Zartek GE-254 programming cable, sold separately.
- The Single Pack includes a desktop charging stand. The current Twin Pack listing does not list charging stands as included and instead confirms two USB charging cables.
- Zartek GE-327 replacement batteries and GE-328 desktop charging stands are available separately.
