We have also chosen XT30 for the new and aggressive aesthetic restyling that distinguishes it from the other XTs (it is also available in a quieter two-tone black / green in case you don't like camouflage or think of ... losing it in the undergrowth).
From the XT10 to the XT70, this model is placed in a comfort zone, both from the point of view of the price (really affordable for everyone, considering that it is sold in pairs) and for the ease of use, in case you are a neophyte, and again for the ability to fully satisfy the support required of a mid-range "hiking companion" walkie talkie, which we can indicate in: service on the PMR446 frequency band (freely usable without a license), 16 programmed channels, 38 CTCSS tones ( do not worry, they are used to allow a group of people who have set the same tone code to share the same channel), communication up to 6 km away, robustness, lightness, operating autonomy of at least 5 hours, recharging via USB ( no batteries to carry around).
To this list of performances are added multiple functions that little by little, with increasing confidence with the walkie talkie, will become useful. Find everything in the data sheet.
The XT 30 Mimetic is particularly compact and weighs only 75 grams. On the front it has an alphanumeric LCD display and an essential number of keys, positioned below the display, to which is added the lateral PTT button (to be pressed to transmit), all easily recognizable to the touch.
