Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this MACHINERY PACK ideal for equipment installations?

The ultra-compact 120x25x110mm radio dimensions enable mounting in confined spaces typical of machinery cabins forklifts and construction equipment. The slide-in mounting cradle allows quick installation and removal for sharing radios across multiple vehicles. The 9.5-16.5V operating range accommodates both 12V and 24V systems common in agricultural and industrial machinery. The included 3dB flexi antenna withstands vibration and impact typical of machinery environments.

Can I program commercial frequencies on this radio?

Yes, the MACHINERY PACK includes 19 dealer-programmable LMR channels beyond the 80 standard UHF CB channels. Commercial frequency programming requires appropriate ACMA licensing and must be performed by qualified radio technicians. Standard UHF CB channels operate license-free out-of-the-box while LMR capability provides commercial-grade communications for business operations requiring private frequencies.

How does the USB charging port work?

The integrated USB charging port enables charging mobile devices smartphones tablets and other USB-powered equipment directly from the radio during vehicle operation. This eliminates need for separate charging adapters in machinery cabins where power outlets are limited. The charging port operates when the radio is powered providing convenient device charging for operators during long shifts.

What's included with the 3dB flexi antenna?

The MACHINERY PACK includes complete 335mm 3dB flexi antenna with SO239 cable kit and FME(F) connector providing everything needed for installation. The flexible antenna design withstands impacts from branches equipment and low clearances common in agricultural and construction environments. The medium-duty construction balances durability with performance delivering reliable 18km line-of-sight range for worksite communications.

Can I use this radio in both 12V and 24V vehicles?

Yes, the MACHINERY PACK operates from 9.5-16.5V making it compatible with both 12V passenger vehicles and 24V commercial trucks agricultural equipment and heavy machinery. The wide voltage range accommodates voltage fluctuations during engine starting and charging ensuring reliable operation across different vehicle electrical systems without requiring voltage converters or additional power equipment.
