transparent P25 digital (clear or secure) repeat capability.
The ET-5 includes the following:
• internal mounting frame for MT-4E receiver and transmitter.
• soft grip handle and press and pull latches.
• interface connectors for RF and power inputs.
• LED indicators for receive, transmit and power indication.
• internal duplexer mounting capability.
• USB type A to right angled 5 pin mini-type B programming cable (CBLC44-20904200)
• two switches to control the power input confi guration (internal / external).
The ET-5 transportable tactical radio system can be powered by:
• a standard alkaline D-Cell battery pack (holding 16 batteries).
• a 10.5 Ah rechargeable lead acid battery.
• an external 12 Vdc power source (connector is located on the outside of the case).

Frequency band RF Power Output Internal duplexer frequency separation
Highband VHF 0.5 - 6.0 Watts ≥ 4.5 MHz separation
400 MHz UHF 0.5 - 6.0 Watts ≥ 5.0 MHz separation
700 MHz UHF 0.5 - 3.0 Watts ≥ 30 MHz separation
800 MHz UHF 0.5 - 3.0 Watts ≥ 45 MHz separation
900 MHz UHF 0.5 - 3.0 Watts ≥ 24 MHz or ≥ 39 MHz separation
* The RF power output of the Highband VHF and 400 MHz UHF transmitter is rated at a maximum of 6.0 Watts when
installed in the ET-5 case (typical power output of these transmitters is 8.0 Watts).
Typical battery capacity (@20% duty cycle with 6.0 Watts RF power output):
16 alkaline D-Cells batteries 19 hours
internal 10.5 Ah lead acid battery 20 hours
external 35 Ah lead acid battery 52 hours
The ET-5 operating temperature is rated at -20°C to +50°C when using the internal batteries. When using the
external battery, the operating temperature is rated at -30°C to +60°C.
The ET-5 is rated for 100% continuous duty operation.
The ET-5 case with the inside panel removed is shown in Figure 1. This shows how the MT-4E receiver and
transmitter are mounted inside of the ET-5 case.
