Race Legal
One-way communication
Today, virtually all drivers use communication frequencies between 440.0000 ~ 469.9875 MHz. With some scanners being banned for drivers and teams, the Nitro Bee gives you the one-way communication you need while keeping you legal!
Coded Frequencies
Multiple racers using the same frequency? No problem.
The Nitro Bee is unique in that it uses CTCSS or DCS tones! CTCSS and DCS toning essentially means your frequencies are coded so that even if someone else is using the same frequency, there won’t be a conflict since your transmissions are coded on the same carrier wave.
