The CTX3 is our smallest transmitter to date.
And likely the smallest UHF Audio Surveillance Transmitter in the world, measuring only 6.39mm x 18.56mm with a thickness of .8mm. the CTX3 comes with batteries mounted for you which will provide upwards of 12 hours of continuous audio surveillance, you only need to solder one wire to activate the transmitter, alternatively, this transmitter comes as a standalone device with the (+) / (-) terminal pads tinned for you to attach your own power/battery supply (3v-3.7v), opening the door to limitless operational time.
- This Transmitter allows you to attach any power/battery option suited for your needs (≤ 3.7 Volts). The CTX3 has +/- solderable power/battery input terminals for you to attach custom power supply packs, enabling you to dramatically extend your transmitters surveillance operation time using any Li-Ion power option or any custom battery pack.
- No switches or indicator lights.
This is a permanent, always-on "hot-microphone", once the battery is inserted the CTX3 will begin live transmission of ambient and surrounding audio without interruption on the Ultra High-Frequency band. The CTX3 will broadcast audio over a distance of 700 metres in a cluttered urban environment, up to 1.2 kilometre with LOS, through concrete, drywall and thick bush to any UHF receiver.
Use this transmitter to remotely listen to an area of interest that requires discreet acoustic monitoring. We recommend any handheld UHF receiver capable of tuning into the 400MHz-434MHz range, this is a standard range in most UHF receivers. Our recommended handheld receiver is the Baofeng UV-5R or the AnyTone AT-318UV, you may also use any of our transmitters with SDR's. Your CTX3 will arrive with its specific Tx/Rx frequency noted on its back.

TINYTX's transmitters are easily paired with any compact hand-held transceiver. Any Two-Way UHF Radio will work, but we recommend the BaoFeng UV-5R from FengBros. Fengbros has been our trusted supplier for the last year, they offer certified Baofeng radios at the most competitive price.
In order to maintain its longevity, the CTX3 is potted with a compound that seals all onboard components, only the microphone and the battery terminal pads are accessible and made visible.
