About RITRON

RITRON is a US-based manufacturer of two-way radio systems and wireless call boxes, with a product history spanning several decades. The company designs and builds its equipment in the United States, focusing on analog VHF and UHF radio platforms for commercial, industrial, and public-facing applications. RITRON's product families include the Jobcom JMX series of handheld radios, the JBS series of desktop base stations, the NT series of higher-power handhelds, and the RQX series of radio call boxes. These products are used for voice communication and remote activation in settings where cellular coverage may be unreliable or where a dedicated radio link is preferred.

3G Electric supplies RITRON two-way radios and accessories globally, with a current catalog of 64 SKUs. The line covers handheld and desktop radios, call boxes, and supporting accessories such as earpieces, batteries, and programming equipment. Technical buyers will find specifications that include analog VHF and UHF operation, power outputs from 1.5 W to 5 W, channel counts from 1 to 255, and battery life ratings up to 13 hours. The NT series handheld, for example, carries an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance. Call box models are available in VHF MURS (license-free) and UHF (license-required) bands, with options for hinge or fixed enclosures, integrated relays, sensor switch inputs, and concealed vandal-resistant antennas. Enclosure colors include black, green, and Hi-Viz Green for visibility.

RITRON radios are intended for voice communication in commercial and industrial environments. The handheld models—JMX and NT series—are portable units for mobile personnel, while the JBS series provides fixed desktop stations for dispatch or control-room use. The RQX call boxes serve as fixed communication points for gate entry, security checkpoints, and similar outdoor locations. Many RITRON radios require an FCC license to operate, though the VHF MURS call box models are license-free. 3G Electric supports the RITRON line by stocking a range of models and accessories, providing part-number-level selection, and offering quotation support for procurement. The catalog includes both current and legacy-compatible items, allowing maintenance managers to source replacements or expand existing systems. All products are shipped worldwide, with documentation available for technical evaluation.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about RITRON from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between RITRON VHF MURS and UHF license-required call boxes?

RITRON call boxes are available in two radio bands. VHF MURS models, such as the RQX-117M-QBLK, operate on the Multi-Use Radio Service, which does not require an FCC license for operation. UHF license-required models, such as the RQX-417-QGRN and RQX-411-QBLK, require an FCC license. Both types include relay and sensor switch inputs for hands-free activation. The choice depends on whether the installation site has an existing licensed radio system or requires a license-free solution. UHF models may offer different range characteristics, but actual performance depends on site conditions and antenna placement.

What are the power output and channel options for RITRON Jobcom JMX series handheld radios?

The RITRON Jobcom JMX series includes models with different power outputs and channel counts. The JMX141D provides 1.5 W output with 10 alphanumeric channels, while the JMX146D offers 2 W output with 10 alphanumeric channels. Both are VHF analog handheld radios with a black housing and require an FCC license. Battery life is rated at 9 hours for the JMX146D. These radios are intended for voice communication in commercial and industrial settings. Accessories such as earpieces and batteries are available separately.

Does the RITRON NT-174 handheld radio have an IP rating?

Yes, the RITRON NT-174 handheld two-way radio carries an IP65 rating, indicating protection against dust ingress and water jets. It is a VHF analog business radio with 5 W output power, 255 alphanumeric channels, and a 13-hour battery life. The IP65 rating makes it suitable for environments where exposure to dust or moisture is a concern. An FCC license is required for operation. This model is part of the NT series, which is positioned above the Jobcom JMX series in terms of power and channel capacity.

What accessories are available for RITRON two-way radios through 3G Electric?

3G Electric stocks a range of RITRON accessories, including earpieces, batteries, and programming gear. These items support the handheld and desktop radio models in the catalog. Specific accessory part numbers can be matched to radio models such as the JMX series, NT series, and JBS series. For procurement, provide the radio model and the required accessory type to ensure compatibility. The catalog includes 64 SKUs total, covering both radios and supporting items.

Can RITRON call boxes be used for gate entry and security applications?

RITRON call boxes are designed for fixed-location communication and remote activation. Models with relay and sensor switch inputs, such as the RQX-417-QGRN and RQX-411-QBLK, can be integrated with gate operators or security systems. The concealed vandal-proof antenna on some models, like the RQX-411, helps protect the antenna from damage in outdoor installations. Typical applications include gate entry, security checkpoints, and parking facilities. The call box allows a person at the site to communicate with a central radio user and, where a relay is present, activate a device such as a gate or door.

What is the RITRON JBS-147D desktop radio and how is it programmed?

The RITRON JBS-147D is a VHF analog desktop two-way radio with 2 W output and 10 channels. It features a numeric display and is pre-programmed for immediate use. As a fixed-location radio, it is intended for dispatch desks, control rooms, or other stationary positions. An FCC license is required for operation. Programming changes may require compatible software and a programming cable, which are available as separate accessories. The JBS series provides a base station option within the RITRON line for organizations using handheld radios in the field.
