The current scope of delivery (Feb 2015) consists of 2 pieces hand radios, a double charging cradle plus MATCHING charging cable, per unit 4 pieces AAA battery with 600mAh capacity indication and belt clip.
My decision was made after a decision phase where I had taken the time being, both the Stabo-650 suitcase and the suitcase DeTeWe 8000 shortlisted.
While browsing on Amazon me then the newer version of DeTeWe is stung in the eye.
Well I tried to explore the differences and make comparisons.
The Stabo-650 is here equal to two simple reasons failed - the look, here I mean the color and headsets that were automatically when DeTeWe 8000 in luggage there.
The color orange was one of the reasons because they are easier to find if you should fall down times in the field.
The DeTeWe 8000 Set I then why not chosen because it is a discontinued model and of course because the box a 1km range increase is being touted.
How exposed after delivery of DeTeWe 8500 set, I am glad to have taken this decision. (Reasons that later in the text)
Visually, the front is certainly not to everyone's taste because this is orange.
The design I find very appealing though kept simple.
The control buttons are easy to operate even with larger fingers.
The display is compared to the previous model 8000 backlit, one of the most important features for me is the volume control which is the hardware-off switch at the same time.
When Vormodell a soft touch switch for on / off, so to speak a kind of permanent jurisdiction which Standbye draws current from the batteries - here is really out and de-energized.
4 pieces AAA batteries are responsible for the power supply can be replaced if necessary even by conventional AAA batteries.
By the way, I prefer high-performance batteries with Eneloop 900mAh capacity.
Of course, this set is missing the headset and the storage case, but in consideration of my actual utility model (I use them and they did not lie in the trunk)
I bit the bullet and ordered to 2 headsets the 8000 series from the Warehouse Deals.
The headsets in conjunction with the VOXFunktion works perfectly for me.
The quality of the transmission is excellent and perfectly adequate for my purposes.
Granted, I'm not the type where it depends on range, on top of that I would like this point does not explicitly assess - for me it is enough just!
The operation is in fact very easy to read the few pages of the German manual first.
8 channels - Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System - DCS (advanced digital coding system) - VOX mode, channel scan, 15 different ring tones, Rogerbeep (confirmation beep), key on / off and key lock are the most important for me features that matter.
The VOX function can quickly repurpose the set moreover to baby monitor if you need that.
In conclusion, summarized "Before" and "cons" of the supplied sets of 2.
Benefits (Goodies):
1. There is a knob for on / off and volume control which I like very much because it can be turned off by hardware.
2. According to the data now 10 instead of 9km Range
3. Backlit display
4. Good operability of keys
5. volume and quality of voice perfectly
5. Very good value for money
Disadvantages (could be improved):
1. The belt clip carries the slim handset on very thick and on top of the hook is almost impossible to get out of his pants what you certainly can with tools hinbasteln itself.
2. I ordered headsets are not automatically included, but which also does not necessarily need any.
3. The supplied batteries may have more capacity than 600mAh
All in all - strong buy recommendation
