MOTOROLA GP388 Handportable

The miniature GP388R provides sophisticated access to all the facilities available with a modern signalling system. The Liquid Crystal display and six key menupad give easy access to all the functions including alphanumeric channel naming and status messaging, whilst the DTMF keypad makes Telephone Interconnect operation a cinch. The small size precludes the use of an option board, but all the sophisticated facilities available in a modern signalling system are still included: Lone Worker, Emergency, Selective Calling - this digital platform supports an enormous choice of analog signalling systems - whilst voice messages are digitally processed to ensure clear, crisp and strong audio quality even in noisy environments. A large range of external accessories is also available to ensure that every radio can be tailored to a user's precise requirements.
