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 it can fit even in the smallest spaces.

Easy to install: just plug it into the cigarette lighter socket and outdoor CB antenna mounted on the car dome.

The PNI Escort HP 5500 has been designed with simplicity in mind so that anyone can use it with ease. 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 the most faithful control over the background noise specific to the CB band.

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

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

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

Multistandard and multiband CB station

By setting the rate and modulation, you can use the station in Great Britain (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 change the norm:

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

2. The LED corresponding to the A/F key lights up, and the current norm 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 CB antenna PNI LED 1000 is the continuation of a new line of CB antennas, designed to make the use of the CB band unique. The antenna guarantees superior communication performance and improves visibility to the maximum.

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

Length 80 cm

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

Factors influencing 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 the lack of mass, will lead to a high SWR value and a limited range.
» The surrounding relief : The surrounding relief plays a huge role in determining the range of action. Obstacles, such as buildings or wooded areas will limit the range of action.

Cable and mount for fixed attachment included

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

» 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 it may be necessary 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: the PNI antennas are calibrated from the factory on the frequency 27.225Mhz (channel 22) .
» Connect the PL259 plug at the end of the antenna cable to the antenna plug on the back of the station.
