The TX4400 combines the very latest in electronic hardware with the most up-to-date computer aided design and manufacturing techniques to produce an extremely versatile mobile radio with outstanding specifications and performance. The TX4400's DIN sized case allows it to be conveniently installed into a dashboard or console and its strong diecast aluminium chassis makes it the most robust radio of its kind. With just three rotary controls and five touch keys, the TX4400's extensive features are easy to operate. FEATURES • Microprocessor Controlled Frequency Synthesiser: Allows user programmable control of scanning, Selcall, CTCSS, channel memories and selected feature options. • Permanent Memory: Retains all user settings in nonvolatile memory even when the power has been removed. • Programmable Scan Function: Scans up to 40 user programmable channels with both Group and Open scan functions available. • User Programmable Receive-Only Channels: Use the TX4400's front panel controls to program up to 20 of your own receive-only channels in the 465-485 MHz frequency range. • In-Built CTCSS: User selectable Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System provides quiet channel operation (can be enabled or disabled on individual channels). • In-Built Selcall: Selective Calling of individuals or groups with four or five digit ANI and fully user-adjustable 5 tone transmitted Selcall Ident. Also allows alphanumeric naming of up to 10 Idents for easier caller identification.

LED backlit for viewing at night with DIM function. • Quiet Mode: Selectable on individual channels, the Quiet mode prevents incoming signals from being heard on selected channels unless preceded by your Selcall code. • Unique Page (Transpond) mode: Allows you to transfer an incoming Selcall to another radio if your radio is unattended. • Feature Disabling Function: Allows Scanning, Squelch, Duplex, Priority, Channel selection and CTCSS features to be enabled or disabled to make the radio simpler to operate. • Overvoltage Protection: Special overvoltage detection circuitry protects the radio and warns of excessive voltage conditions by flashing the display. • Surface Mount Technology: The very latest surface mount component types, design and assembly techniques and quality control procedures are used to ensure the highest performance and reliability. • 20 Additional Channels: Room for an additional 20 Dealer programmable 'receive-only' channels. • Australian Made: The TX4400 has been totally designed and manufactured in Gladesville NSW to meet the demanding needs of the Australian community.
