The 7 Series Ritron OutPost Callbox provides long range 2-way voice communication from a fixed location to portable, mobile, stationary base station radios, or through radio repeaters. Along with the features of the 1 and 6 Series Callboxes the 7 Series incorporates a voice chip that enables you to record and playback a greeting message as well as a location identification message to any recieving radios. Without costly trenching or monthly fees, add the security, convenience and productivity benefits of the 6 Series OutPost Callbox.
