Simrad
HT50 VHF
Simrad HT50, the
definitive handheld VHF Radiotelephone.
|
| 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 HT50 will
come as a revelation. Even in the bitter cold with gloved
hands, you can easily press the buttons you want without
inadvertently pressing any-thing 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 harbors
and marinas, there is a low power 1 Watt setting to
preserve battery life. Included as standard are a standard
700mAh rechargeable battery and 12V DC charger. An
optional high capacity 1200mAh nickel metal hydride
battery pack and rapid charger are 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. |
| The
HT50 is supplied with rechargeable nicad battery in a
fully sealed housing and comes with a state of the art
commercial charger |
