Entel DX485U-CB UHF Two-Way Portable Radio

Entel DX485 Commercial Grade Business Critical Communications Radio

The Entel DX485 UHF radio is a commercial handset for sites that cannot afford a dropped call. Type approval for Australia and New Zealand means it arrives pre-programmed with the 80 CB channels. Digital DMR capability lets you add private channels later without replacing the fleet.Australian UHF CB runs under an ACMA class licence. No individual licence or fee applies when you use approved equipment on the designated channels. The rules matter on site. Channels 5 and 35 carry emergency traffic only. Channels 22 and 23 handle data, with no voice permitted.

Why sites choose it

An IP68 enclosure takes total immersion, which matters more than most buyers expect. Concrete dust, wash-down bays and a wet winter kill poorly sealed radios first. Entel tests the DX485 to MIL-STD-810 C through G. Coverage runs to temperature, thermal shock, pressure, vibration, impact, solar radiation, rain and dust ingress.The high contrast OLED screen stays readable in direct sun. Audio output carries over plant noise. Every unit ships ready to work.

Fit it to the emergency plan

A radio fleet is emergency infrastructure, not just a convenience. Every Australian emergency plan must provide for effective communication between the response coordinator and everyone on site. Our article on two-way radios for construction sites explains where that link usually breaks.
