The TX-500MP transceiver is a compact, portable HF radio in a manpack form factor, designed for professionals and enthusiasts who prioritize mobility, operational efficiency, and extended autonomy. The transceiver is based on the time-proved and reliable TX-500 platform.
Transceiver is engineered for operation in harsh conditions: a durable, aviation grade aluminum alloy housing precisely milled to protect against mechanical damage, and the absence of through-holes prevents dust and moisture ingress. Its uniquely low power consumption — up to 100 mA in receive mode — and the BP-550 battery pack provide extended autonomous operation.
The transceiver combines extensive functionality with ease of use for both professionals and less experienced users, thanks to its channel mode with pre-programmed settings. The built-in automatic antenna tuner ensures compatibility with various antennas, including portable ones, enabling quick readiness for transmission, which is especially critical in emergency situations.
The TX-500MP transceiver is an ideal solution for tactical missions, rescue operations, and expeditions to remote or inaccessible areas.
