RA4DIO
The first body of the line. Retired.
The first body. Retired, along with its domain. It is here because it came first, not because you can buy it.

Built like a tool. Not like a toy.
Aluminium chassis, mechanical PTT, replaceable 18650 cell, SMA antenna, e-ink status. Designed to outlive the phone in your other pocket.






A second mind in your pocket. Off the cloud.
A small language model lives inside RA4DIO. It answers, dictates, translates, and journals — without sending a single token to a server. No account. No log file in a data center.
* On-device model is intentionally small. For deep reasoning, use your phone. RA4DIO is for what your phone can't do.

The numbers, honestly.

Everything to get on air.
