PNI Escort HP 7120 CB mobile radio with antenna

Technical description HP 7120 + Extra 48

With impressively small dimensions of just 110 x 120 x 28 mm, the PNI Escort HP 7120 is one of the smallest CB mobile radios. Despite these compact dimensions, you don't have to sacrifice anything here, quite the opposite. The unit offers a full 4 watts of output power on all 80 FM and 40 AM channels. It has 9 levels of adjustable automatic squelch, and the manual "squelch" offers 28 levels of sensitivity. When band activity is high, the receiver's sensitivity can be lowered using the RF gain function, making it easier to receive stronger stations from close range.

The scan function searches for active channels at the touch of a button, allowing you to find interlocutors in seconds without having to press the up/down buttons on the unit or microphone countless times.

The illuminated, high-contrast display shows the currently set channel as well as information about active device functions and also includes the S-Meter display to indicate the strength of received signals.

Direct access to emergency channel 9 and trucker channel 19 as well as a key lock round out the features.

The loudspeaker located on the underside of the housing with an AF output power ensures good sound, alternatively it is possible to connect an external loudspeaker to the 3.5 mm jack socket located on the rear.

The operating voltage is 13.8 volts with a maximum current consumption of 2 amps. The included DC cable has a suitable plug for the cigarette lighter or 12-volt socket in your vehicle, or a suitable 12-volt power supply.

Unpack it, plug it in and be QRV directly on the 11m CB band. This small mobile unit from PNI is not without reason very popular. Thanks to the extremely small size of the Escort HP 7120, a suitable place can usually always be found for installation in a vehicle, even in modern passenger cars. The antenna, which is included in the scope of delivery, is only 45 cm short, has a magnetic base and a discreet appearance, and can be quickly placed on the vehicle roof and connected to the radio without drilling. The coaxial cable connected to the antenna has a length of 4 meters and is already equipped with a matching PL connector. The set contains everything needed to make communication from the vehicle in the shortest possible time. 

The very simple operation not only accommodates hobby newcomers, but above all facilitates practical handling in everyday life. All device functions can be called up directly at the touch of a button on the Escort HP 7120's front panel, and there is no menu-driven operation at all. All buttons are illuminated, making it safe and easy to use the radio even in complete darkness. 

With a total of 8 adjustable regions, you are always legally on the road with these devices in many European countries, so you do not have to do without CB communication even when traveling.
