The standard pack offers quantities from 1 to 20 units — ideal for individuals, families, and small teams.

Can we assign different departments to separate private channels?

Yes. With 16 channels and 155 CTCSS/DCS privacy codes, you can assign different departments to separate private channels. Each department operates privately — they will not hear other departments even on the same frequency.
