In 2001, we introduced the Solar 18g PTT, a sleek and sturdy transmitter weighing about half as much as its predecessor, the Solar 35g PTT. The 18g PTT is constructed with larger solar cells and a larger battery than our smaller models for fast charging and longer transmission capabilities on a single battery charge. This model is also our only Solar (Doppler only) PTT available for leg band attachment.
