For this reason, Spirit Series radios are equipped with coded squelch. In other open squelch models, your radio will pick up all conversations on your channel which are within the radio's talk range, including those outside your work group. A radio equipped with Private Line sends a code with each call allowing other radios equipped with the same code to receive the call. This limits the amount of conversation heard on your radio to those calls directed toward your work group. Each radio weighs about 11-ounces and stands a little over 5 inches high.
All controls are easily accessible, located on the top and side panels.
Two types of desktop battery chargers are available for charging a single battery pack outside the radio. The 10-hour Desktop Charger uses the standard charging adapter packaged with the radio and charges the battery in 10 hours. The Quick Rate Charger offers the flexibility of charging your battery in 3-hours. Each desktop battery charger gives the ability to use your radio and charge a spare battery at the same time. Earpieces for use with Spirit Pro Series radios enable you to hear in high noise environments.
