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
