RCA RDR2500 Features

PC Programmable: The RCA RDR2500 is fully customizable via a Windows (7 or above) PC (sorry, Mac not supported)*. By using a micro-USB programming cable and the programming software (sold separately), almost every aspect of the radio can be programmed or customized.

* In some instances, and with the consent of RCA, we may be able to supply the programming software as a download when you purchase the radio.

Two Channels In One Frequency: Utilizing TDMA technology, which is part of the DMR digital standard, the RCA RDR2500 is capable of delivering two channels using just one frequency. How this works is the two channels share the frequency using time division, meaning that both channels can use the frequency simultaneously without any collisions.

Lone Worker: Do any of your team members work alone? The RCA RDR2500 has "lone-worker" function built right in. This can be set to activate once every 30 minutes (or whenever you like) to sound an alarm on the team member's radio. If they don't cancel it, their radio will alert a supervisor that they're not responding which will enable the supervisor to investigate further resulting in, in some cases, saved lives.

Tough & Rugged: RCA RDR2500 is built to conform to MIL-STD military standards. This is a series of 38 rigorous tests a for ruggedness. You can rest assured that no matter what the environment, RDR2500 will stand the test of time.

Waterproof & Dust-Resistant: RCA RDR2500 meets the specification for IP54 for dust & water protection. The RCA RDR2500 is more than capable of withstanding harsh operating conditions.

Crystal Clear & Loud Audio: A radio's most important quality is audio clarity – being able to hear, loud and crystal-clear, what your teammate is saying. And the RDR2500 two-way radio delivers just that. There is built-in speaker that provides a massive 1W audio output power meaning this radio is one of the loudest radio on the market, without any distortion.

Voice Announcement: RCA RDR2500 has voice-announcement. That means every time you change the channel or activate/deactivate a feature using a programmable button the RDR2500 will announce what changed. For example, if you change to channel 2, the radio will say "Channel 2". Or if you have a button programmed to low/high power. When pushing the button the radio will say "Low Power.". This is very useful at night or in dark working environments. Furthermore, when an accessory (such as an earpiece or microphone) is connected, the voice announcement will be heard via the accessory instead.

Preprogrammed & Ready To Use: The RDR2500 operates from 440-470 MHz. That's a lot of possible frequencies meaning that the RDR2500 is futureproof. As you build a fleet of radios, or change from a basic FCC license to a more advanced FCC license, you will not have to change to any other model two-way radio.
