Features, Operation, and Control

The radio offers an extensive control interface with dedicated buttons for functions such as manual and automatic squelch (ASQ), channel scanning, AM/FM selection, Dual Watch, channel memory, Roger Beep tone transmission, and VFO mode for direct frequency operation. The display shows channel or frequency information, the status of active functions, and received/transmitted signal levels. Secondary functions are accessible via a combination of keys and offer a high level of customization of the station's behavior.

Relevant technical specifications

Technically, the PNI Escort High Power 60 operates in the 26.965–27.405 MHz frequency range with an antenna impedance of 50 Ω. The transmission power is 4 W, with a frequency accuracy of ±300 Hz and very low out-of-band interference levels (< 4 nW). In receive mode, sensitivity and selectivity are calibrated for good performance in heavy radio traffic, and the audio response is tailored for clarity in both modulation types.
