PNI-HP62

The PNI Escort HP-62 is a highly versatile, compact multi-standard AM/FM CB radio transceiver operating on the 27 MHz band. Its primary design highlight is its dual-purpose form factor: it functions both as a vehicle-mounted mobile radio and as an outdoor portable walkie-talkie. Core Dual-Use Design In the Car: The radio body serves as the hand microphone itself. It uses a slide-on car kit adapter that plugs directly into a 12V cigarette lighter for power and provides a standard PL259 connection for an external vehicle antenna. On the Go: By sliding off the car adapter, you can attach an optional battery pack (either a 1500mAh Li-ion pack or a 6-AA cell holder) and a flexible BNC rubber duck antenna to transition it into a completely portable handheld device. Key Specifications & Features Transmission & Power: Emits the standard legal 4 Watts of power on both AM and FM modes. Frequency Range: Operates on standard CB channels (26.965–27.405 MHz). For international or US operators, setting the country band to “EU” matches standard US CB frequencies. Squelch Control: Features a 28-level manual squelch alongside a 5-level Automatic Squelch (ASQ) to filter out background static without constant adjustments. RF Gain: Offers 9 levels of RF sensitivity adjustment to help pull in weak signals or attenuate overly strong, nearby transmissions. Display & Convenience: Outfitted with a multifunctional backlit LCD screen that includes an integrated digital S-meter to monitor signal strength. It also features dual-watch channel monitoring, automatic channel scanning, a keypad lock, and instant access to emergency channels 9/19.
