technology. It is the latest version of an “Astro” radio, such as the one used
by LAPD, in a new package.

2. The XTS radios have a working range from 450 MHz to 512 MHz.

advantage of the opportunity.

batteries are provided at a rate of one charger for every seven radios.

longer battery life.

charged for 4 full hours.
