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.
