Technical description Escort HP 8024

Memories come alive again here! The design of the Escort HP 8024 from PNI is strongly reminiscent of the popular mobile devices of well-known manufacturers from the 90s. Both the newcomer to the hobby "CB radio" as well as "old hands" the (re-)entry is made easy thanks to the very simple operation.

In contrast to the devices of yesteryear, however, the most modern technology is hidden inside the compact housing: 80 FM and 40 AM channels, 4 watts output power, selectable regional settings, adjustable automatic and manual squelch, channel selection via up/down keys on the radio and microphone, channel 19 direct access and key lock against unintentional inputs. 

The strength of incoming signals is indicated by 4 LEDs, the red 7-segment display provides information about the currently set channel. Separate rotary controls for volume and manual squelch ensure optimum operating comfort.

For the operation of the Escort HP 8024 you can choose between a power supply of 12 volts or 24 volts, for example from the cigarette lighter or the DC socket of your vehicle. The supplied DC cable is already equipped with a suitable plug.

Thus, this model can also be directly connected in commercial vehicles with 24 volt on-board voltage without any additional accessories, by the way, you save money and valuable time.

With the mounting bracket included in the set, the radio can be easily mounted in an easily accessible location. The two thumbscrews allow the radio to be removed without tools if necessary. So that the handheld microphone also has a fixed place and is always accessible, a corresponding holder is included.

So that you can continue to conduct radio operations in compliance with the rules even when on vacation in other European countries, the HP 8024 is simply switched to the applicable regional setting when crossing the border.

For even better and louder audio reproduction, especially in an operating environment with increased noise levels, an external speaker can be connected to the 3.5 mm jack socket located on the rear of the housing.
