Overview
The TC318 is built around one number: 15 W of RF output, the highest transmit power in this analog group. Buyers choose it when a standard handheld leaves gaps in coverage, and it adds 16 channels, a durable body and dual Type-C charging.
Positioning and use
- Top power: 15 W RF output, the highest in this analog group.
- Best fit: large construction sites, road works, farms, industrial plants and wide premises.
- Gap filler: chosen when standard handheld coverage leaves blind spots.
- Analog only: no digital voice, encryption or trunking.
Configurations
- Channels: 16, suited to one site rather than a multi-site network.
- Body: 141 × 55 × 40 mm.
- Power: 11.1 V DC with a 2800 mAh polymer lithium battery.
- Standard build: anti-magnetic and dustproof.
- Options: IP67 waterproofing, Bluetooth and noise cancellation.
Core functions
- Dual Type-C: one charging port on the body and one on the battery.
- Spare pack charging: a pack charges while the radio stays in service.
- Simple power: either port takes a normal Type-C cable and power bank or wall adapter.
- Display: built-in display for channel and status information.
- One-key copy: channel copy and frequency matching for on-site commissioning.
- Housing: durable PC body with a portable belt clip.
Coverage
- No rating published: this model carries no talk-range figure.
- Site testing: test on location before committing to a full rollout.
- Range decision: ask for a live coverage test if range is the deciding factor.
Power and durability
- Current draw: 15 W delivers fewer hours of heavy transmitting than lower-power handhelds.
- Spare packs: keep a charged spare and charge whenever the radio is parked.
- Cell life: the polymer lithium cell is specified for long service life.
- Daily cycling: suits radios cycled every working day.
- Protection: standard anti-magnetic, dustproof build is the lower-cost path for dry sites.
- Wet sites: specify optional IP67 for rain, wash-down areas or dusty yards.
Ordering and OEM
- Band version: confirm what your licence requires.
- Options: decide on IP67, Bluetooth and noise cancellation.
- Spares: include spare packs; they are normal on a TC318 order.
- Branding: OEM branding and packaging for volume orders.
- Sign-off: all options confirmed with sales before booking.

Frequently asked questions
Click a question to see the answer
Which band version is available for this model?
Band allocation and licensing differ by market, so the applicable version is confirmed against your destination country and the licence you hold. Send us those details and we confirm the exact configuration before the order.
Is the radio waterproof?
Standard TC318 units use an anti-magnetic, dustproof design. IP67 waterproofing is available as an option, alongside Bluetooth and noise cancellation. If your site involves rain or wash-down, specify the IP67 option when ordering.
Do we need a licence to use it?
In most countries, business radio channels are licensed to the user or the operating company, and the application is normally handled locally by the importer or operator. We provide the technical documentation required for the filing.
Can it talk to the analog radios we already have?
Yes, on the same frequency and tone codes. One-key channel copy and frequency matching makes it quick to align a new batch to an existing channel plan, and radios from other makers on the same analog channel will be heard as well.
Can we order spare batteries and accessories?
Yes. Because the battery can be charged through its own Type-C port, a spare pack can be topped up while the radio stays in service. Extra packs, belt clips and accessories can be added to the same order.
Can the radio be branded for our market?
OEM branding and packaging are available on volume orders. Send the logo files, packaging requirements and target quantity, and our team confirms the details with the quotation.
