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.

    The rubber PTT button broke. I called Black Diamond. They issued FedEX label right away. I shipped it to them and they replaced it and shipped it back within 4 days at no charge to me. Excellent company to do business with. Excellent products

    We use these radios everyday at work. They are clear, durable, & reliable. After wasting money on other cheaper radios, I am happy we finally found these! Customer Service is also excellent!

    Good but could be better.

    Posted by Mike Solarczyk on Apr 22nd 2013

    I like ordering radios from you however I usually expect immediate shipping. It did not happen this time and this was not explained to me until I have sent out an email asking why it takes so long to ship it. You send an invoice very fast but not the actual product. It would be nice to let the customer know when the product will be shipped. Overall the product and service is great!

    Small yet powerful radios

    Posted by bobpal on Jan 20th 2013

    These radios are surprisingly small but work very well. The range is great and the sound is very clear, much better than our old, better known manufacturer, much heavier radios sounded. The channel number whisper feature is great, I never need to take the radio out of my pocket (I use it with a headset).

    Range and power

    Posted by Noel Stefan Stoyanoff (NSS) on Jul 18th 2012

    I purchased this to use for both the DJ and live sound company I work for and it's been great. I can be crawling all over and under the stage and immediately contact my lead sound engineer with questions and set up answers. As far as range is concerned, holy smokes...wow, can these things transmit far!
