Tri-band handheld radio with 256 channels
The Bipra tri-band handheld covers 144-148 MHz, 222-225 MHz and 420-450 MHz amateur allocations. It also receives the 108-136 MHz aviation band and NOAA weather channels. Dual PTT lets you transmit on two bands independently. The 256 memory channels are organised into two groups of 128 for flexible scanning.
Practical limits of analogue FM operation
Voice communication relies on conventional analogue FM without digital modes or encryption beyond the built-in voice scrambler. Range is determined by terrain, antenna height and the selectable high, middle or low power settings. The one-key frequency copy function only works when another radio is within one metre. Firmware updates are supported but require a wired connection.
Capacity and headroom for daily use
The 2600 mAh lithium-ion cell charges through the USB-C port and powers extended receive sessions including FM broadcast, aviation band and weather alerts. VOX hands-free operation, dual standby and scanning fill typical patrol or event duties. Continuous high-power transmit will deplete the battery faster than mixed duty cycles, and the radio does not support external antenna gain beyond the supplied whip.

Questions about this item
Which version of the Bipra Triband Radio should I choose if I need the most channel groups?
The radio provides 256 storage channels organised as 128 channels in each of two groups, so you already have the maximum channel capacity available.
What does the 256-channel specification mean when I am using the radio in the field?
You can store up to 256 separate frequencies split across two 128-channel groups, allowing quick access to a large number of ham, aviation and NOAA channels without reprogramming.
What interface does the radio use for charging and what practical limit does it set?
Charging is handled by a USB-C port on the 2600 mAh Li-ion battery, so you can recharge from any standard USB-C power source without a proprietary adapter.
