Alternatively, the Nitro Bee can be used in conjunction with a 2-way radio system (using cable PN CS-NITRO-ADPT-2) to allow two-way radio use, while giving Nitro Bee audio priority over 2-way radio calls. This audio priority function is required by many sanctioning bodies that allow 2-way radio use. 9 SPECIFICATIONS Battery Capacity: 1000mAh Charge time: 2.5 hours (approximate) Runtime: 4-5 hours (varies with volume setting) Frequency Range: 400-480 mHz Channel Capacity: 10,000 (10 separate groups, up to 1,000 channels each group) Analog Sensitivity: 0.2V @ 12dB SINAD Digital Sensitivity: 0.25uV(BER:5%) Adjacent channels selectivity: -60dB@12.5KHz Inter-modulation: 65dB Spurious response: 70dB Audio response: +1~-3dB Audio distortion: <5% Audio power: 1W FM Noise 45dB@25KHz /40dB @12.5KHz 10 FCC STATEMENT This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
