*NEW HAM RADIO* PNI Escort HP66S Or PNI Escort HP150S

Launched by Thijs http://www.cbradio.nl comes a radio that really needs no introduction as we’ve seen it before under different names. Specification I guess must be similar to the other versions and so we will add it here and also add “let’s see if it comes” as maybe it’s a demo and or test piece so only time is going to tell about this one

I say the above as have seen it named as

PNI Escort HP66s

PNI Escort HP150s

  1. Noise Blanker on this one?

    Am I wrong?….. The 8001 relies on NR in the audio chain only, that is just not enough. What “imagineer” thought this is a good idea?

    IMHO

  2. Hello, Mr. Simon. That radio is quite the belter! Looks just like the Luiton LT-8001PRO. I was looking at the Luiton 8001PRO on their site, then noticed the LT-8003PRO below it. As far as I can tell, the 80001 and 8003 have the same features, but the ‘03 has a better looking (well, in my opinion, of course) “surround” around the display edges, with nice curves. Also, the display on the 8003PRO has more of a gloss black appearance, whereas the ‘01 looks more of a flatter black, with just an ever so hint of grey in it, plus, the ‘03 is $20 cheaper. I’ve not checked out any of the dimensions of either, but both output 40W.

    Wishing PNI the best of luck with this radio. I really like the form factor of some of their other models, too.
