Know before you buy
This designation means the radio has been professionally inspected, tested, and restored to meet original performance standards. While the internal components are fully functional, the exterior may show minor signs of wear depending on the cosmetic grade selected.
No, this listing is for the radio unit only. You will need to purchase a compatible rechargeable battery pack and a charging cradle separately to operate the device.
This UHF frequency range is ideal for indoor use or environments with obstacles like concrete and steel, such as warehouses, construction sites, or retail stores. If you are operating primarily in open, outdoor spaces, you may want to verify that your existing radio system uses this specific UHF band.
The TK-3402U-K requires specific programming software and a compatible cable to configure the 16 channels. If you do not have the necessary equipment, you may need to consult a local radio technician to set up your frequencies.
The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for 90 days from the date of purchase. It does not cover accidental damage, liquid exposure, or issues resulting from unauthorized modifications.
