At 4 watts the Black Diamond Radio CE420 packs twice the transmitting power as our CE240, giving it far broader range. It's been packed with advanced compander technology to provide exceptionally clear transmission, even using the new narrow-band standard required by the FCC. We developed this to be small, lightweight AND powerful.

The CE420 comes programmed with frequencies in the business range, meaning you will not have to compete for space in the spectrum with consumer radios like those from department stores. This radio complies with Mil-810 C,D,E for splash and shock testing, adhering to our "Diamond Tough" standard.

Incredibly easy to use, simply switch the radios you want to communicate with each other to the same channel and press the push-to-talk button to speak. When changing channels the unit will announce the channel to you, eliminating the need to look at the tiny numbers on the dial. When using an earpiece the channel announcement will be routed to your ear where only you can hear it, as well as any incoming communications.

    Quality equipment and service.

    Posted by Tom Allen on Dec 1st 2022

    I purchased 2 more CE420s. They work well around our 2-acre site, inside and outside. The size works well for scrub shirt pocket or belt clip carry. Reliability has not been an issue, even our grooming area around wet, active dogs. Most of all, the service has been excellent. Even though the radios need to shipped to and from our location, my wait time has always been minimal. Equipment issues are seldom, but with a quick phone call a replacement is on the way.

    CE420 Radios

    Posted by Randall Todd on Jan 20th 2020

    I recently received two of the CE420 radios and wanted to say how much I like them. I did a little testing to see how much range I could expect, and was pleasantly surprised! I posted my wife in the middle of our home and was able to clearly speak with her at a distance of 1.4 miles away. As I drove around the county roads (Indiana) we never lost communication. I plan to use these radios while traveling with relatives as well as in a church security environment. I'm confident now that they will not fail us when needed. Thanks to Tyler and Ian for their great customer support and willingness to answer all my questions. Great products and great service...thanks guys!
