Product Description
Ritron RDC-447 DoorCom UHF Wireless Intercom
Connect visitors at your entrance directly with radio-equipped employees.

Staff can answer from a compatible portable radio or desktop base station while continuing their work.
Key Features
- 450–470 MHz UHF operation with 2 watts of transmitter power.

- Call alert: selectable doorbell or ringing tone identifies an intercom call.
- Flexible programming: select supported table frequencies in the field or use Ritron software for custom frequencies.

Radio Compatibility
The RDC-447 works with compatible analog UHF business radios programmed to matching frequencies and CTCSS/DCS settings. Dual-mode radios must use a compatible analog channel. Verify your existing radio model and programming before ordering.
