Description
Zartek ZA-758 multi-function UHF two-way radio for dependable team communication
The Zartek ZA-758 is a 16-channel handheld UHF transceiver designed for regular communication in security, farming, factories, hospitality, events and other demanding working environments. It arrives pre-programmed for licence-free operation on Zartek’s supported 446 MHz and 464 MHz public-frequency channels at 500 mW output.
A detachable antenna, long-life rechargeable battery and programmable communication functions make the ZA-758 particularly useful where a basic walkie-talkie does not provide enough flexibility.
Is This Right for You?
- Suitable for teams that need straightforward push-to-talk communication without cellular airtime or a recurring service subscription.
- Useful where VOX hands-free operation, scanning, call alerts or programmable radio functions are required.
- Optional vehicle and house antenna kits are available where the radio will regularly be used inside vehicles or buildings that can reduce UHF signal strength.
- Communication range varies substantially with buildings, terrain, elevation, metal structures and interference.
Why Choose This Product?
- Licence-free preset operation: The radio is factory programmed for approved 446 MHz and 464 MHz channels at 500 mW, allowing normal use without programming a licensed high-power channel.
- 16 selectable channels: Multiple programmed channels make it easier for different teams or work groups to organise communications.
- Hands-free VOX: Voice-activated transmission can be used when pressing the PTT button is inconvenient, with adjustable sensitivity and delay available through programming.
- Useful programmable functions: Scrambler, priority scan, emergency alarm, compander, call ring, battery indication and other functions provide more flexibility than a basic radio.
- Long operating time: The supplied 1600 mAh Li-ion battery is rated by Zartek for approximately 30 hours under a 5:5:90 average-use duty cycle.
- Detachable antenna: Compatible external antenna equipment can be fitted for vehicle or building applications where placing the antenna outside an obstruction can improve signal propagation.
Before You Buy
- The ZA-758 is supplied programmed for licence-free operation at 500 mW. Programming equipment is optional and sold separately.
- When communicating with other radio models, both radios must use compatible frequencies and tone settings. Some Zartek radios may require programming or channel-setting changes before they communicate correctly.
- Zartek publishes approximate terrain-dependent ranges of 300 m-1.2 km in indoor or shopping-centre environments, 2-6 km in residential or over-water conditions, 3-7 km on farmland and up to 10-30 km with elevated line-of-sight. Actual range can be substantially lower where obstructions or interference are present.
- The radio is not splash-proof or waterproof. Keep it protected from rain, excessive moisture and wet environments.
- A direct plug-in mains charger is included. Vehicle charging, external antenna kits, headsets, spare batteries and PC programming equipment are optional.
