Old Team Radios and Frequencies

TETRA radios were first tested by the Sauber F1 Team in 2006. By 2016 the Riedel TETRA system became the de facto standard across most of the teams. Up until that point analogue radios were commonplace, with different digital radios introduced over time:

  • McLaren: Prior to the 2005 season, McLaren used analogue Kenwood radios. These had the optional voice inversion scrambling board fitted until 2002. In 2004, McLaren tested a bespoke Kenwood encrypted radio called the "McLaren Special". Initially VHF only this analogue radio with digital enhancements was based on the TK280 model. From 2005 to 2013 the race team used this bespoke radio now updated to the McLaren Special II model in a cross-band system configuration (VHF for the car channel, UHF for the pit channel) and based on the Kenwood TK380 portable. In 2008 an updated McLaren Special model was introduced based on the TK3170 portable. From 2014 to 2019 McLaren ran an encrypted NXDN9600 Kenwood radio system. For 2020 McLaren switched to the Riedel TETRA system. Since 2021 they moved back to a NXDN9600 Kenwood radio system, this time provided by MRTC. It has been encrypted since 2022.
