10W IP68 Waterproof Amateur Ham Radio

UV-98 High-Power Long Range IP68 Waterproof Amateur Ham Radio

If you are a serious ham radio operator, you know that power and protection aren't optional—they’re survival requirements. We built the UV-98 to be a "tank" in the palm of your hand. This isn't just another walkie-talkie; it’s a 10W high-power amateur radio engineered with six-frequency band reception and MDC1200 signaling

Whether you are hitting a repeater from the bottom of a canyon or coordinating a massive emergency response, the UV-98 delivers "super penetration" that cuts through interference. With its IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating, it’s designed to be submerged and abused in the field. Plus, the optional GPS module allows you to integrate with APRS or fleet tracking, ensuring you’re never just a voice in the dark—you’re a coordinate on the map.

Typical Applications

• International Marathons & Cycling:

In a city-wide race, signals often struggle between skyscrapers. The UV-98’s 10W power ensures the lead vehicle stays in contact with the finish line. The optional GPS allows the race director to see exactly where the lead runners are, ensuring the road closures happen at exactly the right moment.

• Outdoor Trail & Mountain Races:

Deep in the woods where cellular signals fail, the UV-98 uses its High-Power Analog mode to maintain a lifeline between mountain rescue teams and the base camp. Its IP68 waterproof build means a slip into a creek or a sudden storm won't knock out communication.

• Stadium Operations & Mega Concerts:

Security and crowd control teams use MDC 1200 signaling to identify every caller instantly. The radio’s super penetration cuts through the massive electrical interference common in large venues, delivering crystal-clear audio even during the loudest events.
