Portable VHF Transceiver

The BatteryJack inc. DSR-590 is a portable VHF two-way radio operating across the 136-174MHz band. It provides up to 128 programmable channels for organised group communication. The unit delivers 5 watts of output power with a quoted range of up to 2 miles in typical conditions. It suits marine users and outdoor teams needing reliable voice contact.

All-Metal Chassis Thermal Profile

An all-metal chassis acts as a heatsink for the 5W transmitter during normal duty cycles. Audio output stays below .5W with distortion under 7%, keeping the speaker cool during extended receives. The 7.4V 1400mAh Li-ION pack powers the radio through typical shifts without thermal throttling. Adjacent channel selectivity of -65 dB reduces front-end overload in busy spectrum.

Bundled Antenna Battery Charger Kit

The package includes a matched antenna, the 1400mAh Li-ION battery and a dedicated charging station. The 2-pin Kenwood audio jack allows compatible headsets or speaker-mics for hands-free operation. CTCSS and DCS encode and decode functions filter unwanted traffic on shared channels. Buyers needing UHF 450-520MHz operation or integrated GPS should consider other models.

Questions about this item

How do I install the battery and antenna on the DSR-590, and what step do people get wrong?

Slide the 1400mAH Li-ION battery onto the radio body until the latch clicks, then screw the supplied antenna onto the 50-ohm connector; the common mistake is leaving the antenna loose, which cuts the 5-watt output range.

What maintenance or replacement will the DSR-590 need later?

The 7.4V 1400mAH Li-ION pack will eventually hold less charge — replace it when talk time drops noticeably; keep the 2-pin Kenwood audio jack and charging contacts clean with a dry brush.

What limit shows up first on the DSR-590 during sustained use?

The 5-watt transmitter heats the all-metal chassis quickly; after several long transmissions the radio will throttle power or shut down to protect itself, so keep key-down cycles short.
