But its versatility doesn’t stop there: it now also allows for **airband** (AM) reception and **commercial FM radio**, making it a multifunctional device for any radio amateur.
Equipped with a **large alphanumeric display**, the **DR-138EMK II** offers an intuitive and easy-to-read interface. With **200 available memories**, you’ll have plenty of space to save your favorite frequencies. Its wide reception frequency range is complemented by **50 CTCSS subtones and 1024 DCS codes**, giving you total control over your communications.
Additionally, the radio includes advanced functions such as **keypad lock**, multiple scanning modes, and **selective calling** (2TONE, 5TONE, DTMF, DTMF-ANI), ideal for professional and security applications. The **noise reduction** function and the **automatic power-off (APO)** option enhance the user experience, while the **anti-theft alarm** system adds an extra layer of security.
