CB radio station package PNI Escort HP 5500 and folding CB antenna PNI LED 1000, 80 cm, illuminates during the broadcast

Simplicity for everyone

The PNI Escort HP 5500 CB radio station is ultra compact, measuring only 115 X 115 X 35 mm and can fit even in the smallest spaces.

Easy to install: just connect it to the cigarette lighter socket and the exterior CB antenna mounted on the car's dome.

The PNI Escort HP 5500 was designed with simplicity in mind, so that anyone can use it easily. The high-quality electret condenser encapsulated in the microphone provides clear and powerful sound.

Important functions - anti-noise: SQ, ASQ and RF Gain

The PNI Escort HP 5500 CB radio station allows for the most accurate control over the background noise specific to the CB band.

The analog adjustable SQ function with potentiometer and 5-level ASQ allow the user to filter and eliminate noise making communication clearer.

The 7-level RF Gain function allows control over the reception frequency, reducing distortion.

Other features of the PNI Escort HP 5500 station : 4W transmission power, 12-24V power supply, 40 channels, AM/FM modulation, emergency channels 9-19, 6-pin microphone connector, additional jack for external speaker.

Multistandard and multiband CB station

By setting the norm and modulation, you can use the station in the United Kingdom (UK) and most European Union countries.

The PNI Escort HP 5500 is equipped with the main European bands ( EU, CE, UK, PL, dE, in, i0, l2 ).

NOTE, to modify the rule:

1. Turn off the radio; simultaneously press the PTT key + the UP key on the microphone while turning the radio back on

2. The LED corresponding to the A/F key lights up and the current rate appears on the screen.

3. Press the UP-DOWN keys to reach the desired rate, then restart the station or press the PTT key to exit the rate setting mode.

LED coil

The PNI LED 1000 CB antenna is the continuation of a new line of CB antennas, designed to make the use of the CB band unique. The antenna guarantees top-level communication performance and improves visibility to the maximum.

The antenna coil is equipped with diodes that emit light when they are crossed by the radio frequency. The coil automatically lights up when the radio transmits, thus indicating the correct operation of the equipment. The higher the transmission power, the higher the luminous intensity of the LEDs.

Length 80 cm

The PNI LED 1000 CB antenna with a length of 80 centimeters helps transmission and reception in the CB band over a distance of up to 10 km (in ideal conditions, without obstacles).

Factors that influence communication distance:
» Antenna length : longer antennas will have a greater range than shorter antennas.
» Mounting location : the higher the antenna is mounted, the better the range.
» Installation quality : installation mistakes, such as lack of ground, will lead to a high SWR value and limited range.
» Surrounding terrain : Surrounding terrain plays a huge role in determining range. Obstacles such as buildings or wooded areas will limit range.

Cable and fixed mount included

Thanks to the included accessories (butterfly mount, RG58 cable and PL259 plug), mounting the antenna becomes a simple and quick task:

» Connect the antenna to a separately purchased fixed support (for example: PNI SPA100 , PNI SPA110 , PNI L1 ) previously mounted on the car.
» Test the SWR in an open area using a reflectometer. In some cases, you may need to raise or shorten the wire to obtain an optimal SWR value. For optimal results, we recommend that this procedure, called calibration , be performed by authorized personnel with special equipment. Note: PNI antennas are factory calibrated on the 27.225Mhz frequency (channel 22) .
» Connect the PL259 connector at the end of the antenna cable to the antenna connector on the back of the station.
