The Radioddity FS-T7 FRS US is a versatile two-way radio designed for both professional and leisure use. It combines advanced radio communication technology with a robust mechanical frame, making it suitable for various environments such as construction sites, buildings, trade fairs, hotels, or simply staying in touch with friends and family.
Function Description
The FS-T7 is a multitask FRS (Family Radio Service) transceiver. It allows users to communicate over 22 FRS channels and monitor 12 NOAA Weather Channels. Key features include a 2-channel watch, channel monitor, and 155 privacy codes (50 CTCSS codes and 105 DCS codes) for secure communication. The radio supports hands-free operation (VOX), includes a Roger Beep Tone, and offers various scanning functions such as NOAA Weather Scan, Privacy Codes Scan and Store, and Channel Scan. It also features 10 selectable call alerts, a call alert function, keypad lock, emergency strobe light, and a backlit LCD display. A Time Out Timer (TOT) is included to prevent accidental continuous transmission.
