The Elite 1600 is a must for drivers since it allows race officials to broadcast directly to drivers for safety and efficiency purposes without having the drivers talk back. Many sanctioning bodies and race track are now making these mandatory in an effort to speed up the race program and prevent accidents. The RACEceiver Elite 1600 also functions as a race scanner, and is preprogrammed with 1,600 channels for frequencies between 450-470 MHz. This will allow you to manually scan through the channels, 1 or 100 at a time, to the channel that you want to monitor. Or you have the option of finding a driver’s channel by simply following the easy to read channel chart. The RACEceiver Elite 1600 is designed to listen to one driver at a time, switch instantly to the race broadcast and then back to your driver. It utilizes the industry standard 3.5 mm jack, allowing the use of a headset. Each RACEceiver Elite 1600 package contains a RACEceiver, holster and one AAA battery.
