MIDLAND BASE CAMP PMR446A multi-task PMR446 transceiver

MIDLAND BASE CAMP is a PMR446 transceiver including the VHF MARINE BAND receiver and AM/FM radio. MIDLAND BASE CAMP as been designed for being a multi-task equipment, radio and transceiver, for communicating with other devices set to the same channel.MIDLAND BASE CAMP is the ideal and daily time solution for all the outdoor activities, the free time and why not, also for emergency and safety situations. As a matter of fact, BASE CAMP has a built-in flashlight, and a built-in SOS Morse signal function, that allows the tran-sceiver to send messages in code; moreover, the dynamo crank allows you to recharge the radio during a power outage or anytime away from a power source. Through the USB jack it is possible to recharge also other devices (mobile phone, iPod, mp3 players) by the dynamo crank, AC or DC Adapter.Its small size allows the user to realize radio communications also on the go.
