BK Radios GMH5992XP Overview

This model is part of the BK Radios G series mobile, which combines the reliability that has made BK radios the choice of emergency response professionals with a high degree of versatility and ease of use. The GMH5992XP mobile is designed to be customized to fit your specific requirements, and can easily be upgraded to meet APCO P25 full digital standards. This makes the GNH series the most versatile and logical option for organizations that require interoperability, but are operating on a tight budget. You get digital capabilities and customizability at a far lower cost than buying a new digital mobile.

Upgrade Capability

Unlike many other digital radios, BK digital radios can be upgraded in the field via a new FLASH utility upgrade. In addition, because the functions and features are driven by software rather than tied to hardware functionality, you get both significant cost savings and a far higher degree of versatility. Like other BK mobile radios, you can clone specifications from existing radios, making it far easier to get a new set operating on the system with minimal configuration, and because the programming is focused on the radio user’s needs, BK mobile radios are always easy to use. That’s a critical factor for field use in emergency situations where the ability to communicate and remain connected is vital to safety and success.

Versatility of King Radios

Adding to their versatility and utility, models in the King mobiles GMH line are available in both dash-mount and remote-mount configurations. They can operate as a tactical repeater in the field or as a desktop base station back at the base. King mobiles in the G series can clone group information from BK radios portables in all series, including DPH, EPH and LPH lines. Finally, because they are designed for interoperability, GMH King mobiles can use the accessories already owned by your organization for other BK radios.

If your organization requires compact versatility in a budget-minded package, King Radios GMH5992XP should be on your short list of high quality options.

Antennas and Accessories for King Radios

Today’s army has come a long way since #Normandy, but there’s one thing that hasn’t changed a lot. The military – as well as most emergency response services – still rely on two-way radios and handhelds to communicate out in the field, including old school and new school King Radios, still among the most popular portables and handhelds on the market. Needless to say, there have been updates and changes and modernizations, but the basics remain: voice is still the best way to communicate over distance in emergency situations, and BK handhelds are among the best two-way radios to facilitate that communication.

Still, there are times when you want to increase the range and/or capabilities of BK portables and BK mobile radios. There are a handful of accessories that will extend the utility and usability of even the most basic King portable radios.

Battery Packs

Your radio is only useful if it’s operable, and that means making sure you have fully charged batteries. Battery packs are among the most useful of all King radio accessories. Choose from rechargeable LiOn batteries, NiCad batteries or basic AA battery packs that let you use regular old AAs from the corner store to extend the life of your BK radio handhelds in the field. Many battery packs are compatible with all BK handheld radios, but be sure to check your own model to make sure you’ll be able to use the battery pack you purchase.

Carrying Cases

Yes, we call them handhelds, but the fact is that most of the time, when they’re in use, you want your hands free. The right carrying case puts your BK radio handhelds within reach at all times and allows you to access all the controls at need. In addition to cases for individual King radio handhelds, you can also purchase cases for multiple units, ideal for carrying to an emergency deployment scene.

Chargers

From individual chargers to multiple bay charging cups, additional charging units are among the most useful accessories for an organization with multiple King radios. A rapid desktop charger can get your unit charged up and back in action fast, while a 6-bay rapid charger can power up BK handhelds for your entire unit using just one outlet.

Antennae

While King radios have exceptional range in most conditions, there are situations where you need to extend that range a little, or increase your gain for better audio. The right +portable antenna can extend the range of your BK handhelds or BK mobiles and help combat adverse conditions.

The Forest Service and many fire departments still rely on King radios for their emergency and field communications. Make sure King radios are on your short list when you’re deciding which handheld radios are best for your needs.
