Direct Long-Range Communication Without Cellular Service

Unlike 4G LTE PoC and Zello radios, the UV98 communicates directly with compatible analog radios. It can be used without cellular service or WiFi when programmed to authorized frequencies.

Long-range performance is possible under favorable open and unobstructed conditions, but actual range may be significantly shorter in cities, buildings, forests or hilly terrain. No fixed distance can be guaranteed in every environment.

NOAA Weather Radio Reception

The built-in NOAA Weather Radio receiver allows users within supported United States coverage areas to monitor available weather broadcasts and emergency information.

• Receives supported NOAA Weather Radio channels
• Useful for camping and emergency preparedness
• No cellular data required for reception
• Reception depends on terrain, location and station coverage

NOAA Weather Radio is primarily a United States service. Reception is not guaranteed in the United Kingdom or other countries. Unless specifically confirmed in the manual, this feature should be described as a receiver rather than an automatic NOAA alert system.

AM Airband Receive-Only Function

The UV98 supports AM aviation-band reception, expanding its monitoring capabilities for radio enthusiasts where reception is legally permitted.

• AM airband reception
• Receive-only use on aviation frequencies
• Useful for radio and aviation enthusiasts
• Separate from FM broadcast reception

Never transmit on aviation frequencies. Aviation communications are safety-critical and require specifically authorized equipment, frequencies and licensing.

FM Broadcast Radio

The integrated FM broadcast receiver allows users to listen to supported local radio stations when available.

FM broadcast radio and AM aviation-band reception are separate functions and should not be described together as “AM/FM aviation communication.”

200 Programmable Channel Memories

Store and organize up to 200 programmable channel memories for different frequencies, teams and operating configurations.

• 200 channel memory capacity
• Fast access to saved channels
• One-key call channel
• Flexible team and group organization

The channel number describes memory capacity and does not mean that 200 frequencies are automatically licensed or authorized for transmission.

One-Key Frequency Copy and Frequency Meter

The UV98 includes tools designed to help identify and configure compatible nearby analog radio signals.

• Fast single-channel frequency copy
• Frequency meter function
• Wireless radio replication
• Faster compatible radio setup

Frequency detection and copying depend on signal strength, modulation, signaling and radio compatibility. Copying a frequency does not authorize its use.

Cross-Band Communication Function

The listed cross-band function provides additional flexibility when using compatible and properly configured VHF/UHF analog channels.

Exact operation depends on radio programming and firmware. This function should not be described as an automatic cross-band repeater unless that capability is specifically confirmed in the official product manual.

CTCSS, DCS and DTMF Functions

The UV98 supports common analog signaling functions for use with compatible radio systems.

• CTCSS signaling
• DCS signaling
• DTMF signaling
• Wide and narrow bandwidth selection
• One-key call channel

CTCSS and DCS help filter unwanted channel audio but do not encrypt conversations or make analog communication private.

Multiple Scanning Functions

The UV98 includes scanning and monitoring tools for locating active compatible signals and managing saved channels.

• Frequency scanning
• Multi-scan modes
• Channel monitoring
• Frequency meter
• Wide and narrow bandwidth selection

2600mAh Rechargeable Battery

The UV98 includes a 2600mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery designed for extended daily communication.

• 2600mAh rechargeable battery
• High, medium and low power selection
• USB Type-C charging support
• Compatible charging-base support

Actual operating time varies according to transmit power, signal conditions, scanning, display use, flashlight use, volume, temperature and time spent transmitting.

Built-In Flashlight

The integrated flashlight provides convenient supplemental lighting for camping, outdoor activities, nighttime operation and emergency preparedness.

The flashlight is a convenience feature and should not replace certified emergency or safety lighting.

Local Emergency Alert

The emergency alert function provides an additional local radio alarm option for outdoor activities and backup communication.

This function does not contact emergency services, share a GPS location or replace a satellite messenger, personal locator beacon or mobile emergency service.

Portable Handheld Design

The removable antenna, belt clip and lanyard make the UV98 convenient to carry during outdoor activities and daily radio operation.

This model is not waterproof and has no published IP rating. Keep the radio dry and protect it from rain, immersion and excessive moisture.
