• Clear sound: The built-in high quality speaker reproduces voice without extra equipment, enabling easy communication over noisy backgrounds when it performs well.
• Stretchable wire: The cord stretches from 8 to 40 in, providing flexible routing between the radio and shoulder or lapel position to suit different uniform arrangements.
