The PNI Escort HP 8001L ASQ CB transmitter “with headset” is a commercial-grade, multi-norm vehicular communication terminal precision-engineered to deliver secure, high-integrity voice synchronization across regional wireless logistics webs. Masterfully designed with a nostalgic user interface that mimics the straightforward, tactile layout of legendary 90s transceivers, this premium station incorporates modern internal microelectronics to provide continuous frequency protection and crystal-clear acoustic fidelity. The comprehensive turnaround kit includes a dedicated 12V lighter socket plug and an ergonomic headphones with HS81 microphone headset system, serving as an essential logistics procurement component for long-haul transport networks, agricultural machinery, warehouse distribution hubs, and high-volume B2B radiocommunication accessory wholesale networks looking to source full-featured corporate kits.
The advanced RF framework operates on a standard frequency matrix spanning 26.965-27.405 MHz over 40 AM/FM channels, with an efficient maximum emission power of 4 W. To solve the problem of background static in cluttered industrial environments, this model introduces an adjustable ASQ (Automatic Squelch Control) core. Instead of a basic digital on/off lock, this innovation allows operators to tune the automatic squelch attenuation window, eliminating up to 100% of local interference, power line noise, and cross-channel jamming. For maximized road safety and driver convenience, a physical ASQ button on microphone body is coupled with up/down channel toggle keys, allowing operators to transition frequencies and toggle squelch loops without taking their eyes off the road.
Housed inside a highly compact structural casing measuring just 115 x 36 x 152mm and weighing a balanced 0.8kg, the HP 8001L installs easily into tight vehicle dash zones while drawing a low operational consumption of 2A from standard 12v power supply circuits. The front console features a clean 6 pin microphone type socket alongside dedicated modular ports for the inclusive communication headset, as well as an active structural Key lock switch. This three-stage toggle gives users direct navigation control between the emergency highway channel (19), normal channel operating mode (CH), and a complete lock (L) setting to prevent accidental configuration shifts during heavy cabin vibration. Fully prepared for high-demand fleet deployments, the transceiver’s logic board remains fully compatible with advanced PNI Bluetooth wireless adapters, microphones, and audio earpieces to support scalable wireless routing options over long-term asset lifecycles.

Key lock switchThe PNI Escort HP 8001L CB radio station has a switch on the front panel that allows selection of the emergency channel (19), normal operating mode (CH) and activation of the key lock function (L), useful function in situations where you want to avoid touching the accidental press of the station keys. |
Adjustable ASQAn innovation in the CB segment, the adjustable automatic squelch (ASQ), offers maximum comfort even for the most demanding users of car CB radio stations. If until now we were used to activating/deactivating the ASQ, now PNI brings its adjustment function, a function that allows you to eliminate up to 100% of interference, background noise and jamming in the CB band. |
