We have imported  a small simple 300mW  handheld transceiver that runs on 3 AAA  cells but uses the "K" series headset that the 2W WT419 uses , so later on you could upgrade to the long distance big brother radio. This radio is also sold as the Spectra C800  in Australia .It is made at the same factory that produces the WT419 uhf CB .The system is designed for those who want to try bike to bike communications  but don't want to invest a lot of money in a system.

The whole system  ( "K" series twin earspeaker headset ,cables, handlebar  PTT button ) and radio sells for NZ$140  , This is a system "ready to go" straight out of the box .The range like all radio systems ,is very dependant on the position of the antenna in relation to the users  body  . In the jacket pocket  gives the worst range  (couple of hundred yards)  up to stuck to the side of the helmet out in the clear may give a couple of Kms out in open country.. The radio uses AAA alkaline cells , it would be economical to purchase rechargeable NiMHydride cells but always take some ordinary alkaline cells incase you ever get caught out on a ride with flat rechargable cells. The radio is NOT water  resistant and would need to be placed in a zip lock bag or something similar.
These radios meet     AS/NZS 4365- 1996 specifications  and have  Australasian compliance approval .
