Compact VHF/UHF Communication for Your Vehicle

The ABBREE AR-8118 dual-band mini mobile radio combines up to 25W listed output with 200 memory channels, dual display and dual standby. Its compact body offers a space-conscious option for a vehicle radio installation.

Before your next road trip or camping outing, prepare your channels and test your antenna setup. Choose radio-body or handheld-microphone PTT control to suit your installed arrangement, and use the display to check operating information.

Key Features

Dual-band mobile transceiver: Described as a 2-meter and 70-centimeter radio. Confirm the supplied version's exact transmit coverage before purchase.
Up to 25W listed output: Actual output depends on the operating band, settings and power supply.
200 memory channels: Store channel configurations for your radio setup.
Dual display and dual standby: View operating information and use the listed standby function. This does not establish simultaneous two-channel reception or transmission.
Dual PTT: Listed transmit controls on the radio body and handheld microphone.
Dual speakers and voice noise reduction: Audio features for listening in a vehicle environment; results vary with surrounding noise and installation.
VOX: Voice-activated transmission when appropriately configured.
Additional controls: CTCSS/DCS tone settings, keypad lock and automatic shutdown.

Listed Receive Coverage

VHF: 136–174MHz
UHF: 400–480MHz
Airband reception: Listed; exact range and supported mode should be confirmed.

The VHF/UHF ranges above are explicitly identified as receive ranges in the supplied information, not a confirmed transmit specification. Airband reception does not imply airband transmission. This listing is for the dual-band version; do not assume it has the same channel configuration as an AR-8118 GMRS version.

Programming

The existing description states that programming supports a compatible phone-style USB cable with data-transfer capability. Confirm the radio connector, required software, host-device support and setup instructions before ordering. A charge-only cable will not provide data transfer, and this feature does not establish direct phone-app programming support.

Bundle Options

Choose Standard, Add Cable, As Picture 1 or As Picture 2. Confirm the exact cable and accessory contents for your selected option; picture-based option names do not provide a complete packing list.

Listed Package Contents

1 VHF/UHF mobile radio
1 power cable
1 mounting bracket
Mounting screw accessories
1 manual

The description refers to a handheld microphone but does not separately list it among the package contents. Confirm microphone inclusion, antenna requirements and the required supply voltage and current before installation.

Installation and Performance Notes

Follow the supplied wiring and mounting instructions, keeping controls and cables clear of vehicle operation. Configure and test the radio while parked.

Communication range depends on terrain, antenna placement, buildings and interference. No fixed 10–30km distance or interference-free audio is guaranteed. Tone codes do not encrypt conversations, and a scramble function should not be treated as a guarantee of confidentiality.
