The XT511 is a field radio station that allows hunters to remain in constant communication with each other. There are many options available, in order to offer alternative solutions for all needs.
Keeping in touch during particularly difficult hunting trips is an essential condition for the success of the hunt and for the safety of all participants. Two-way radios and field radio stations can perform this task at the same time. The one we are dealing with today is the Midland XT511 Field Radio Station. Midland develops high quality products such as GMRS Two-Way Radios, Baracchini (CB), Radio Marine, Bluetooth intercom systems, and All Hazards / Weather Alert Radios.
In addition, Midland is a leader in the field of mobile radios for law enforcement cars and base-camp radio stations for civilian use. Midland, in the civil field, achieved greater success in the 70s in the stalls sector, but in recent years it has concentrated its energies on the development of radio equipment that has found great success in the hunting field, such as the XT511. It is a field radio device. In detail, the XT511 has the following characteristics: two radio channels with a reserve of energy for emergencies; maximum power allowed by law and the NOAA, a radio alert for bad weather. The Xt511 offers 22 radio channels, 121 privacy codes, channel scan, voice commands and an alarm clock.
In addition, 22 free-to-air channels are available, 121 private codes, which offer the possibility of arriving at the optional channel 3144 which allows the blocking of other conversations. As for the NOAA Weather Alert Radio, the latter consists of a 24/5 information system on weather conditions. XNUMX different ringing tones are available to notify the arrival of a call from a group. Channel scanning can also be done automatically and two channels can be monitored at the same time. The squelch is also automatic and also has a block of settings, which have been chosen by the user.
Among the latter, the HI / LO Power Settings must also be signaled, with which the transmission of energy is best managed, for better conservation of battery longevity. In order to avoid unnecessary noise, in delicate circumstances during a hunting trip, you can reset all tones, making the XT511 a very “silent” device. The display is backlit for a clear view at night. The XT511 provides a USB connection, for charging your mobile phone. Finally, 5 different energy sources can be used: four “AA” type rechargeable batteries, the complete kit for constant recharging, a dynamo unit, an AC adapter or DC version. The frequency band this small field radio station works on is GMRS 462.550 ~ 467.7125 MHz, WX 162.400-162.550. The dimensions of the 511 are 16.25 × 18.75 × 6,8, while the weight is about 550 grams.
The XT511 allows a team of hunters to remain in constant communication with each other.
