Description
Zartek ZA-748 compact UHF two-way radio for professional licence-free communication
The Zartek ZA-748 combines a compact handheld design with 16 pre-programmed channels, a rechargeable Li-ion battery and a useful set of programmable radio functions. It is suited to teams that need quick push-to-talk communication without relying on cellular airtime.
Zartek specifies 500 mW operation on its preset licence-free 446 MHz and 464 MHz frequencies. The radio can also be dealer-programmed for up to 2 W operation across 400-470 MHz where the appropriate radio licensing requirements are met.
Is This Right for You?
- Suitable for security teams, farms, factories, hotels, events and other work environments requiring portable team communication.
- Zartek’s terrain-dependent range estimates are approximately 600 m-1.2 km indoors, 2-6 km outdoors and 10-30 km from an elevated line-of-sight position.
- Range varies substantially with buildings, terrain, antenna position, interference and other environmental conditions.
- For communication with another radio, both radios must use compatible frequencies and matching tone settings.
Why Choose This Product?
- Ready for everyday team communication: 16 pre-programmed channels allow straightforward channel selection without programming the radio before normal use.
- Hands-free operation available: VOX can activate transmission from your voice when configured appropriately, particularly useful with a compatible headset.
- Useful status feedback: Channel announce, low-battery alert and programmable battery-level indication help the operator use the radio without a display.
- Expandable for specialised installations: The detachable antenna supports compatible external vehicle and building antenna kits, while the single-pin accessory jack supports dedicated ZA-748 audio accessories.
- PC configurable: Channels and supported functions can be programmed with the optional ZA-748 USB programming cable and Zartek software.
Before You Buy
- The standard ZA-748 is intended for 500 mW operation on Zartek’s preset licence-free frequencies.
- 2 W operation over the wider 400-470 MHz UHF range requires licensed use and appropriate programming.
- The ZA-748 uses a single-pin external microphone/speaker connection; do not assume that accessories with other Zartek connector types will fit.
- Optional vehicle antenna kits, building antenna kits, programming cables, speaker microphones, earphones and spare charging equipment are sold separately.
- Open the Compatibility tab when available to view accessories verified for the ZA-748.
