Roadrunner 24/7,

Introducing the sleek and versatile CRT 2000 Mobile CB Transceiver - your perfect road companion for clear and reliable communication. 🚗💬

Crafted for the modern road warrior, the CRT 2000 boasts a stylish and compact design with a vivid colour display, making it a standout addition to any dashboard. It’s more than just a good looker; it’s a performance powerhouse with dual voltage capability (12 V / 24 V), making it suitable for both cars and trucks.

With 40 channels across the 26.965-27.405 MHz frequency range, this CB transceiver keeps you connected across Europe. The convenience of software programmability (with the optional software and lead) puts control at your fingertips, allowing for customisation of numerous features.

Communication is clear and private thanks to the CTCSS feature, which filters out distant chatter, letting you enjoy one-to-one conversations without interruption. And with 4 watts of power in both AM and FM modes, your voice will be heard loud and clear.

The CRT 2000 is about intuitive use as well. The manual or automatic squelch control, RF gain adjustment, and the practical ROGER BEEP function with 8 settings ensure your transmission is as professional as it gets. The DTMF encoder further expands your connectivity options, activating repeaters and internet gateways seamlessly.

Worried about noise? The NB / HI CUT filters are your guardians against interference, ensuring a crisp listening experience. And with the DOUBLE WATCH function, you can stay on top of two channels simultaneously - never miss an important update again.

Scanning for active channels is a breeze with the automatic search function, and the Time out timer (TOT) helps prevent accidental prolonged transmission. Plus, the direct access to channel 9/19 ensures you're always one button away from the channels frequently used for emergency communication or trucking.

Ergonomics aren’t overlooked either - with backlit keys, a jack plug for an external speaker, and 6 multifunction keys that offer 18 combined functions, the CRT 2000 is as user-friendly as they come.
