FDP Handheld Radios
Contact: fdpradios@gmail.com
FDP Radios is a specialist communications company based in Queensland.
We are a registered independent radio supplier of Australian Standards compliant handheld 5W UHF two way radios (ACMA – N30090), that fill a niche area between consumer brand radios and high end priced commercial radios – radios which are also capable of being used by licensed ham operators on the 70cm band and with CB. Few approved handhelds can boast this.
Our service tends to be more personalised, covering needs that are generally not met with consumer brands, but also being affordable and cost effective for companies or service groups, as well as the individual that may have particular requirements, or who simply want a quality handheld radio that is just capable of more, at a better price.
All FDP handheld radios are type approved to the LMRS (Land Mobile Radio Service), and the CBRS (Citizen Band Radio Service).
FDP radios have one of the most sensitive receivers (the ability to pick up weak signals) available in a handheld using DSP (digital signal processing), and in some cases nearly twice as sensitive as some other brands.
We have also developed our product line to help cater to the commercial sector and emergency services, by covering multiple tiers of operation in the one radio, at a price which is exceptionally good value. We are proud to have supplied our radios to the Special Comms Branch of Brisbane SES, CREST NSW, Alpine Search & Rescue Victoria, Event Safety Services, SEQUEST, various Army & Air Force Cadet Units, Flame Lily Adventures, The Summit, Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort, The Dunga Derby, NSW Parks & Wildlife, Queensland Raceway and a couple of Australia Post Mail Sorting Facilities, just to name a few. You can find our radios in New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu.
FDP radio’s Channel Alpha Tagging on LCD models (LCD Screen Channel ID/Name) makes for easy identification of special purpose channels. The FDP Pro also has a special software feature, where the distributor or approved agent can disable the Function Button, effectively locking the radio to software defined only, for simplified commercial use. The FDP Pro was chosen for the SAFENET programme as part of the Safe Night Precincts Initiative, in-part due to some of its special security features.
FDP has been supplying our handheld radios and accessories to the industry for over a decade, and we continue to go from strength to strength. We don’t work to the notion of planned redundancy, as these radios are amongst the best in performance, size, features and price.
Many of our retailers are also specialist in their field.
The FDP Advantage is:
1. Full power handheld radios.
2. Super sensitive receivers – our radios have amongst the most sensitive receivers available on the Australian handheld market – this equates to improved receive range.
4. Clear and clean audio on TX and RX.
5. Consistency – we don’t work to the notion of planned redundancy.
6. Simplicity – we don’t have dozens of different models all doing the same job. Our models are selected to do more specific applications, with features that matter most.
7. Commercial quality at a very competitive pricing.
8. Software programmed – your FDP dealer or agent can programme the radio to tailor more to your needs.
9. Alpha Tagging – easy channel identification/naming on LCD models.
10. Numbered keypads on Pro and DMR800 – this makes channel selection and/or function access quick & easy on the Pro. With the FDP DMR800, it allows SMS messaging and private calling.
