The Specna Arms Manual Dual Band Shortie-82 radio is the result of a collaboration between Baofeng, known for producing excellent value radios, and Specna Arms. The model name Manual Dual-Band indicates that the radio can operate on two frequency bands simultaneously on VHF/UHF frequencies. Simply put, the radio can monitor two different channels at the same time. However, the Shortie-82+ offers much more, featuring multiple functions required for universal radio communication on air, land, or sea.
