Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What frequency ranges do the TH-25 and TH-45 Models work on?

  • A1: The TH-25 models function on the bands of 144.000 – 147.995 MHz while the US’ TH-45 model works on 430.000 - 449.995 MHz.

Q2: Are there any memory channels that can be accessed? If yes, then how many are there?

  • A2: Each model of this transceiver offers a diverse range of 14 memory channels.

Q3: What is the output power associated with the TH-55 series models?

  • A3: As for the TH-55 series, the output power is expected to remain over 5 W with the HI mode on at 12 V and roughly 3.5 W at 9 V.

Q4: Is it permissible to use alkaline batteries in these apparatus?

  • A4: Yes, as long as the BT-6 battery case is used, alkaline batteries can also be used.

Q5: Which battery is recommended for prolonged operations?

  • A5: To ensure a longer or extended operation, the use of NiCd battery pack is recommended.

Q6: Can these transceivers be used for a long period of time without draining the battery?

  • A6: Yes, these transceivers have a battery saver mode which uses minimal battery power.

Q7: What steps should be taken if the speaker produces no sound?

  • A7: Make sure that the squelch is not closed and that the PTT switch is not pressed since this will roll out the possibility of receiving any sound.

Q8: These transceivers come with what ranges of operating temperature?

  • A8: The range of operating temperature is from −20 degrees Celsius, to +50 degrees(−4 degrees Fahrenheit to 122 degrees Fahrenheit).
