Description

MGX H5 5W Handheld UHF Radio is a 5 watt handheld for traffic controllers, civil crews and fleet operators. It runs the full 80 UHF channels for day-to-day site and convoy communication, in an IP67 die-cast alloy body built for field use.

5 watts is the maximum transmit power allowed for UHF CB in Australia, so the H5 runs at the top of the legal range. It operates under the ACMA citizen band class licence, so there is no individual licence or fee for UHF CB use.

The H5 has a colour display, CTCSS and DCS signalling, a priority channel, dual watch and a programmable smart button. Receive-side active noise cancelling cleans up incoming audio around plant and traffic, and an instant replay button repeats the last transmission when a call is missed. The die-cast alloy chassis and IP67 rating handle dust, rain and daily knocks, and the battery charges over USB-C from the chargers crews already carry.

UAG Services supplies the H5 with a shoulder speaker microphone (model H5/2M) that clips at the collar, keeping the radio on the belt with audio at ear level on noisy sites. The speaker microphone is included as standard from us.

As a bonus, the H5 is also LMR ready for operators who work on a licensed commercial network alongside open UHF channels. Operating on LMR frequencies requires the appropriate licence.

For a GME handheld alternative, see the GME TX6165. Antennas, chargers and mounts are available separately.

MGX H5 FAQs

Do I need a licence to use this radio?

Not for UHF CB. UHF CB operates under the ACMA citizen band class licence, with no individual licence or fee. The H5 is also LMR ready for licensed commercial networks, and operating on LMR frequencies does require the appropriate licence.

Does it come with a speaker microphone?

Yes. UAG Services supplies the H5 with a shoulder speaker microphone (model H5/2M). It is not part of the standard MGX package; we include it because our trade customers need it.

What is the difference between this and the GME TX6165?

Both are 5 watt 80 channel UHF handhelds. The MGX H5 adds LMR readiness for licensed networks, a die-cast alloy body, active noise cancelling and USB-C charging. The GME TX6165 is a straight UHF CB handheld.

Is it waterproof?

Yes, it is IP67 rated, dust tight and waterproof.
