In today's mobile and demanding work environment , communication is crucial — whether it's on transport, construction sites or emergency services. A robust and reliable radio is not an option, but a necessity. The Zodiac Transport 80 radio is a professional solution that combines compact size, powerful functionality and ease of use, and with complementary accessories you ensure that it performs optimally in your particular installation.
Why choose the Zodiac Transport 80?
The Zodiac Transport 80 is a fully programmable mobile radio with a frequency range of 66–88 MHz and up to 25 W output power. It is one of the smaller units on the market, making it easy to integrate even in tight spaces.
The radio's die-cast aluminum construction makes it robust and well-suited for harsh environments such as vehicles, industrial machinery or outdoor installations. It handles modern signaling methods such as pilot tone, DCS, DTMF and 5-tone signaling, which increases compatibility in mixed radio networks.
The large two-line display along with programmable hot keys provides easy operation and quick access to functions.
As standard, the Zodiac Transport 80 is often delivered pre-programmed with Åkeri-Riks 1 and 2, as well as license-free channels on 69 MHz – but you can program it for your own channels if necessary.
In short: with the right assembly and accessories, you get a walkie-talkie that combines flexibility, strength and long-term durability.
Accessories that make the radio system complete
A walkie-talkie is only as good as its antenna system and mounting solution. Here are accessories that will take its functionality to its full potential:
