PNI Escort High Power 60 Radio Station
The PNI Escort High Power 60 radio station is designed for use on the CB bands, for mobile integration in vehicles, or for fixed operations where a 12V DC power supply is available. The device offers full communication functionality at 27 MHz, supports AM and FM modulation, and complies with regulatory standards for terrestrial band transmissions.
Power Supply and Installation
The unit is designed to operate exclusively on 12V DC and includes reverse polarity protection to minimize the risk of damage during connection. Mounting is done using the included brackets and screws, and the external connections, including the antenna and microphone, are standardized for broad compatibility. Proper antenna installation and calibration are essential for optimal performance.
Functions, Operation, and Control
The transceiver offers a comprehensive control interface with dedicated buttons for functions such as manual and automatic squelch (ASQ), channel scanning, AM/FM selection, Dual Watch, channel memory, Roger Beep tone output, and VFO mode for direct frequency operation. The display shows channel or frequency information, the status of active functions, and received/transmitted signal levels. Secondary functions are accessible via key combinations and allow for a high degree of customization of the transceiver’s behavior.
Relevant Technical Specifications
Technically, the PNI Escort High Power 60 operates in the frequency range of 26.965 to 27.405 MHz with an antenna impedance of 50 Ω. The transmit power is 4 W, with a frequency accuracy of ±300 Hz and very low out-of-band interference levels (< 4 nW). In receive mode, the sensitivity and selectivity are calibrated for good performance under heavy radio traffic conditions, and the audio response is optimized for greater clarity in both modulation types.
Compatibility and Regulation
The transmitter complies with European directives applicable to radio equipment (including Directive 2014/53/EU), ensuring compatibility with usage standards in most EU countries.
