Midland EXPLORER PACK UHF CB/LMR Radio with Remote Speaker Microphone and 4dB Antenna

The Midland EXPLORER PACK is a compact commercial-grade UHF CB and LMR radio delivering 5W on CB and 15W on LMR, supplied complete with a remote speaker microphone and a 4dB commercial-grade antenna on a 60cm mast with 5m of LMR240 low-loss coax. With 80 CB channels and 19 dealer-programmable LMR channels, duplex capability, and a typical line-of-sight range of 18km, it suits professional vehicle installations and commercial applications.

Product overview

The EXPLORER PACK combines the Midland mini UHF CB/LMR radio with a remote speaker microphone and antenna in a single ready-to-install package, removing the need to source compatible accessories separately. The radio operates across both the 476.425 to 477.4125MHz CB frequency range and the 450 to 520MHz LMR frequency range, with 15W LMR output for extended range in commercial and professional applications.

The backlit LCD display offers seven selectable colours, and the slide-in mounting cradle allows the radio to be mounted in the vehicle and removed as needed. Dual speakers across the base unit and the remote microphone provide audio output from both locations. Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) with 104 codes and CTCSS with 50 tones provide interference elimination for busy channel environments. Channel memory scan, priority scan, and auto squelch are all included as standard features.

Features and benefits

5W CB and 15W LMR dual-power output: Operates at 5W on CB channels for standard UHF communication and switches to 15W on dealer-programmable LMR channels for extended range in commercial and professional fleet applications.

80 CB and 19 LMR channels: Two channel banks cover all 80 Australian CB channels plus 19 dealer-programmable LMR channels across the 450 to 520MHz LMR frequency range.

Remote speaker microphone included: The remote speaker microphone provides 4W audio output and allows the operator to communicate without reaching the base unit, with dual speaker output from both the radio and the microphone.

4dB commercial-grade antenna included: A 4dB antenna on a 60cm mast with 5m of LMR240 low-loss coax is supplied, providing a complete antenna solution for vehicle installation without additional cabling or components.

18km typical line-of-sight range: The combination of 15W LMR output and the commercial-grade 4dB antenna delivers a typical line-of-sight range of 18km for demanding coverage requirements.

Duplex capability: Supports both simplex and duplex operation for compatibility with repeater systems and commercial network infrastructure.

DCS and CTCSS interference elimination: 104 Digital Coded Squelch codes and 50 CTCSS tones allow the radio to filter out interference from other users on shared channels in busy communication environments.

7-colour backlit LCD display: The backlit LCD with seven selectable colours provides clear channel and status information in all lighting conditions.

Slide-in mounting cradle: The slide-in cradle allows the radio to be securely mounted in the vehicle and removed when needed without tools.

USB charging port: A built-in USB charging port allows other devices to be charged from the radio power supply during vehicle operation.
