RA89 Key Features

🚀 10W High-Power Output: Get maximum range and punch through interference. The RA89 transmits with a full 10 watts on VHF and 8 watts on UHF, with (High/Medium/Low) power levels to save battery when you don't need the extra distance.
🌊 IP68 Waterproof & Dustproof: Built for extreme environments. An IP68 rating means the RA89 is not just "splash-proof"—it can be fully submerged in up to 1.5 metres of water for 30 minutes and is completely sealed against dust and dirt.
🎧 Intelligent Noise Reduction: Hear the call, not the noise. The built-in DSP chip actively filters out background noise, ensuring your transmissions are crisp and incoming audio is clear, even in loud environments like a vehicle or worksite.
🔌 Convenient USB-C Charging: Charge it anywhere. The radio body features a built-in, waterproof USB-C port, allowing you to charge from your computer, a power bank, or any USB source in your vehicle.
🔋 High-Capacity 2500mAh Battery: A powerful radio needs a powerful battery. The 2500mAh Li-ion battery provides long-lasting operation for extended field use.
📻 FM Broadcast Radio: Listen to your favourite FM radio stations (65-108 MHz) during downtime.
