Rated 5 out of 5

Amazing find. Excellent shipping and service

What a find! Nady was sold a few years back and these units are almost impossible to find new. This wireless is UHF which means it will not drop out when scanning for signal like the newest digital ones do. It is built like a tank. The transmitter and receiver are metal and it comes in a heavy duty ABS case. It has more range than you will ever need and it handles interference better better than the digital units at this price point do.
