The HT50’s predecessors earned quite a reputation for their robust construction and dependable reliability, making them highly prized by coastguards, rescue services and defence forces around the world. Designed and built to the same high standards – but smaller, more economical and even easier to handle – the new HT50 is indeed a worthy successor.
Easy to operate
If you have ever struggled with the fiddly little buttons of some handheld VHF radios, the control of the HT51 will come as a revelation. Even in the bitter cold with gloved hands, you can easily press the buttons you want without inadvertently pressing anything else. Operation is simple, logical and intuitive, with clear LCD screen graphics to indicate the selected channel and operating mode.
As tough as they come
Designed in accordance with the GMDSS maritime safety regulations, the HT50 will withstand being dropped from a height of 1 meter onto a hard surface. The rubber encased flexible aerial is stud mounted for maximum durability, and all the controls are push-button keys, so there are no projections that might be vulnerable to knocks.
Watertight to 1 meter
The GMDSS rules also require handheld VHF radios to be sufficiently waterproof to cope with use in a liferaft. The casing and controls of the HT50 are fully sealed, to make the radio not just weatherproof, but sufficiently watertight that it can be immersed to 1 meter without coming to any harm.
Dependable performance
Thanks to its superbly designed electronics, the HT50’s reception clarity, transmitter efficiency and resistance to interference are more than a match for any of its competitors. In addition to the maximum 5 Watt transmission power, for short distance calls in harbours and marinas, there is a low power 1 Watt setting to preserve battery life. Included as standard are a standard high capacity 1200mAh nickel metal hydride and 12V DC charger. An optional high rapid charger is also available if required.
Custom channel choice
The HT50 features 54 international channels, plus up to 16 additional channels used for particular country requirements and for commercial users. With dual- and tri-watch, as well as all channel scan and memory scan (where permitted), it has a powerful ability to monitor the airwaves.
