Our take on the Eartec SC-1000 Two-Way Radio System with SST PTT Lapel Mic Headsets

The Eartec SC-1000 is a license-free UHF two-way radio kit built for hands-free crew communication, pairing compact belt-pack radios with SST push-to-talk lapel mic headsets. It runs on 38 sub-channels in the 462–467.7125 MHz band at 0.5 W, with a rated range up to 1 mile and about 10 hours per lithium battery charge. Its rugged polycarbonate body suits job sites and events. At $558.67 at AVLgear.com as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range across the four stores listing it new, so this is not a bargain moment.
