Ritron Jobcom Base Stations

Ritron has manufactured and currently manufacturers a line of wireless intercoms known as the Ritrom Jobcom Base Station or Ritron Jobcom Wireless Intercom. One such example in the series is the Ritron JBS-446D Jobcom Base Station/Wireless Intercom (UHF).

These units are field programmable which means that no software or data programming cable is needed. The unit is programmed via a sequence of button presses from the unit console. These units have 2W of transmit power. They are of high quality in that they are set with precise deviation and frequency calibration. They are also well constructed durable devices.

The units are multi channel, with 2, 8, and 10 channel models which seem to be common. Some models operate VHF and others UHF. They are designed for stationary use in a specific area, such as a reception desk or in a shop. The Jobcom can be mounted to a desk or wall for secure operation to reduce or eliminate the costs typically incurred from the replacement of lost, dropped or stolen portable handheld two way radios.

Models support both license free MURS and business only pre-programmed frequencies. Each unit has a 1w speaker for easy to hear audio output. Other standard features include 51 Quiet Call (privacy) codes, Channel Scan, Call Tone, DTMF ANI ENcode, 2-Tone Paging Decode, Programmable Soft Key. Some Jobcoms have an easy to read LED display.

• Please note that there are also Ritrom Jobcom HT units such as the JMX-152 and JMX-452 which are not base stations
