2026 New Iradio Uv-98Plus Gps Aprs Walkie Talkie Type-C Charging Compatible Wireless Set Rt-880 Rt-880G Rt-950 Pro Two-Way Radio
🔶 This link is UV-98 Plus GPS APRS Version
Note: GPS function may not work in some Russian places, Russian customers need to be careful when buying
🔶 This walkie talkie requires a dedicated Type-C interface Programming Cable provided by the manufacturer to be connected to a computer, and channel programming is performed using UV-98 PLUS frequency writing software. A regular mobile phone data cable or regular write frequency cable cannot establish a communication connection. If you cannot find the frequency writing software, please contact us~
🔶 You can switch the frequency range according to your usage needs. The working range of the frequency band is: 18-64MHz, 64-642MHz, 840-1000MHz. These three ranges cannot work simultaneously, and an antenna compatible with this frequency range needs to be replaced before use. 18-64MHz requires replacement with an antenna compatible with this frequency range!!!! For example, the CB antenna (27MHz antenna) needs to be replaced for 27MHz, or the antenna compatible with 50MHz needs to be replaced for 50MHz!!!

Q: What is APRS and how does it work on the Iradio UV-98Plus?
A: APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) is a real-time location-sharing network used by ham radio operators. The Iradio UV-98Plus captures your GPS position and broadcasts it to the APRS network every 10-30 seconds (configurable). Other APRS-enabled radios receive your location data without needing internet or cellular service.
Practical Application: Search and rescue teams use APRS to track team member positions on a map. Emergency responders coordinate deployments by seeing real-time locations of all units. Field expeditions monitor team separation and identify members outside safe zones.
Q: How long does Type-C fast charging take on the UV-98Plus?
A: The Iradio UV-98Plus charges from 0-100% in 2-3 hours using a standard USB-C charger (5V/2A minimum). This is 50% faster than traditional proprietary chargers on competing models.
Advantage: Modern USB-C power banks, laptops, and smartphone chargers work with the UV-98Plus, eliminating dependency on specialized equipment during field operations.
Q: What’s the difference between the Iradio UV-98Plus and the RT-950 Pro?
A:
| Feature | Iradio UV-98Plus | RT-950 Pro |
|---|---|---|
| GPS Positioning | Yes (built-in) | Optional accessory |
| APRS Capable | Yes (native) | Yes (with module) |
| Type-C Charging | Yes | Proprietary connector |
| Battery Life | 14-16 hours | 12-14 hours |
| Price Point | Entry-to-mid tier | Professional tier |
| Best For | Field teams, emergency response | Professional dispatchers |
FAQ
Q: Is the Iradio UV-98Plus waterproof?
A: Yes. The UV-98Plus carries an IP67 rating, meaning it is fully waterproof and dustproof. It can be submerged up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes without damage. Ideal for water-based rescues, coastal operations, and weather-exposed field work.
Limitation: IP67 covers accidental submersion—not designed for prolonged underwater operation or saltwater immersion.
Q: Can I use the Iradio UV-98Plus to communicate with RT-880 or RT-880G radios?
A: Yes. The Iradio UV-98Plus is fully compatible with RT-880 and RT-880G models via shared frequency bands (VHF 136-174 MHz and UHF 400-520 MHz). Both devices use standard amateur radio frequencies, allowing seamless communication within the same band.
Limitation: Only the UV-98Plus has built-in GPS and APRS. The RT-880/880G will not receive location data unless connected to compatible APRS equipment.
Q: How accurate is the GPS on the UV-98Plus?
A: GPS accuracy is 5-10 meters under clear sky conditions. Accuracy degrades in dense forests, urban canyons with tall buildings, or indoors (±15-30 meters possible). APRS transmission includes GPS altitude data for 3D positioning in mountainous terrain.
Real-World Context: Accuracy is sufficient for team coordination and search operations. For cm-level surveying or mapping, use dedicated GPS units.
Q: What frequencies does the UV-98Plus cover?
A: The Iradio UV-98Plus covers:
- VHF: 136-174 MHz (includes 2-meter ham radio band)
- UHF: 400-520 MHz (includes 70-centimeter ham radio band)
This dual-band coverage aligns with standard amateur radio allocations, GMRS frequencies (where legal), and professional two-way radio bands. Verify your region’s frequency regulations before transmitting.
Q: How do I configure APRS on the UV-98Plus?
A: APRS configuration requires:
- Enable GPS in radio settings
- Configure APRS frequency (typically 144.390 MHz in North America)
- Set position update interval (default 10-30 seconds, adjustable)
- Test by transmitting a position packet to the APRS network
Note: Full APRS setup guide included in user manual. APRS operation requires amateur radio license in most countries. Verify local regulations before transmitting.
Q: Is the UV-98Plus licensed for GMRS or professional use?
A: The UV-98Plus is designed primarily for licensed amateur radio (ham radio) operation. Using it on GMRS or business/professional frequencies may violate local regulations.
Recommendation: Check your country’s frequency regulations with local telecommunications authority before purchase. In the US, contact the FCC for frequency authorization guidelines
