Gear up for Australia's wild frontiers with the Icom IC-41PRO Waterproof 80CH UHF CB Handheld—the go-to rugged companion for 4WD trekkers bush-bashing the High Country, miners dodging Pilbara dust storms, or fishos scanning the Great Barrier Reef from the boat.

Voice announcements call out channels, VOX hands-free with optional headsets keeps you focused on the track, and built-in scrambler locks down private chats. Pre-loaded with 128 channels (including dealer-programmable privates from 450-480 MHz), plus unique repeater scan and in-range indicator—perfect for convoy calls or emergency pings. Backed by Icom's 5-year nationwide AU warranty, rapid charger, and free shipping. Compact at 95g, tough as your Hilux—stay linked, no matter the terrain!

This pro handheld redefines portable UHF with dust-sealed toughness: submerge it 1m for 30 mins without a blink, then yank it out for a CH01 yell across the gibber plains. Rotary squelch dials in silence from wind roar, while CTCSS/DCS mutes static for clean group scans—open, priority, or repeater mode auto-hunts clear lines. SELCALL dials mates directly, duplex boosts repeater range to 10km+, and ATS signals when you're in bounds. Swap batteries mid-hike or program customs via CS-41PRO software (cable sold separate). E
