HF - VHF MANPACK

MP3 manpack : the best combination of price / quality in the market for HF portable radios. v1.0

Designed by TSF Supply, MP3 Manpack allows fully portable and effective HF-VHF-UHF radio communications including compatible 4 digit selective calling (Selcall).

Often carried by motor bike as well as used on water (boat / barge), our MP3 MANPACK knows no limits.

Supplied with a comfortable rucksack it is ready to use for emergencies (natural catastrophies, conflict zones...) or as a portable field station.

MP3 MANPACK has proved itself in many different situations throughout Africa. Without being “waterproof” it can stand rough handling (carried by bike) evan if the unit is intended for use when stationary.

We`ve sacrificed nothing in this compact “small is beautiful” unit ; ease of use was our main guideline during the design of the MP3 MANPACK

Its standard antenna connectors and its red rucksack makes the MP3 MANPACK ideal for civilian use.

Although we supply a standard complete and operational package, MP3 MANPACK can be also customised to your particular specifications.
