DIGITAL PMR 446 TRANSCEIVER
6.25kHz Spectrum Efciency
Digital PMR 446 utilises 4FSK/FDMA modulation and 6.25kHz digital narrow channel spacing, which is half the channel spacing of the existing analogue PMR 446 system. This way, the 100kHz band width allocated for digital PMR 446 is efficiently divided into 16 channels, or twice the current analogue voice channel capacity.

32-Status messages
32 codes of pre-fixed status messages can be sent and received. 16-character messages and 6 types of alert beeps that sound for call reception, are programmable for each message with optional cloning software, CS-F4029.
