The first time you handle our HX446L you will be impressed by its superior build quality. The compact ergonomic design that fits comfortably in your hand, as well as the exceptionally loud audio that enables you to communicate in the noisiest environments, identify the HX446L as a high end PMR446 portable.

The high visibility back-lit LCD will display all 8 of Europe's currently allocated PMR446 channels, or using different CTCSS or DCS tones expand the channel capacity to a maximum of 255 – the choice is yours.

This PMR446 model, like all our HX series 2.0 portables, meets the MIL–STD 810C⁄D⁄E⁄F rating for tough enduring performance and in addition has a superior IP55 splash proof construction.

Utilising the latest intelligent Lithium–Ion battery technology, your HX446L, if dealer enabled, will display a battery cycle count each and every time you power–on your radio. For your convenience it will even alert you to imminent battery life expiration.

The HX446L comes with channel scanning, VOX and local personal attack alarm, with optional Bluetooth communications facility and variable point voice scrambler. This low cost LCD model will exceed the expectations of even the most experienced radio users.

Features

Environmental protection to IP55 play

The practical HX Series 2.0 radios enjoy an IP55 rated construction, which means that they are dust protected and resistant to water ingress (i.e. splash proof). For most day to day applications, this level of protection is perfectly adequate, however, where full protection against immersion in water is required, users should consider our IP68 rated HT Series 2.0 radios.

MILSTD 810C/D/E/F

Meeting MIL-STD 810C/D/E/F commercial grade construction for tough, enduring performance, the Entel's HT and HX series 2.0 portables conform to stringent standards, enabling them to withstand the everyday rigours of shock, vibration and the corrosive effects of dust and moisture, ensuring many years of trouble free use in the most hostile environments.

1800mAh Li-Ion battery

All Entel portables come with the latest intelligent Lithium-Ion battery technology as standard. Whichever model you choose, these batteries will count the number of completed charge cycles, which on LCD variants, if dealer enabled, can be displayed when you power-on your radio.

For your convenience it will even alert you to imminent battery life expiration. Another advantage of Lithium-Ion battery technology is the way it maximizes duty cycles, while the elimination of memory effect means there is no need to fully discharge the cells before recharging. Therefore you are assured a full duty cycle each and every time you take your radio from its charger.

Flash upgradeable to add future features

Entel proposes to continuously add/upgrade features to its range of radios. Using Flash Upgrade technology your radios can be upgraded by your Dealer at any time.

Robust accessory socket

A completely redesigned accessory connector, when secured to the portable, is designed to withstand any amount of punishment from dropping to careless misuse. Furthermore, the securing bolt incorporates a shearing point to protect the connector.

255 channels

The HX446L comes with 255 channels. For 16 channels see the HX446E.

Voice annunciation (option)

Speaks the channel number and basic settings so you can operate the radio without having to look at it.

Bluetooth™ wireless communications (option)

Allows you to connect a Bluetooth audio or data accessory.

Clone data from one radio to another

Allows you to easily configure another radio to match your system.

For Convencience

VOX hands free (with audio accessory)

When you attach a VOX enabled audio accessory you can operate totally hands free. All you need to do is talk and your Entel radio will automatically transmit for you.

Programmable channel monitor button

If you have Analogue or Digital squelch enabled all signals other than your own will be filtered out. This can be temporarily disabled enabling you to monitor any other transmissions on your channel. This button may be programmed on or off by your Dealer.

Security

Programmable scrambler (voice inversion)

Used to encrypt your voice, protecting against casual eavesdropping.

Safety

Local Personal Attack Alarm

All HT and HX portables include a personal attack alarm option. Once activated the speaker of your radio will emit a high pitched siren as a deterrent and provides a local call for assistance.
