Meet the Naked Nomad!
Overview
The MMX Nomad is a complete ham and short wave listening station - just add an antenna! It receives and transmits Morse code, and receives SSB and AM. EASY to set up - just open the lid, and press the recessed power button on the rear panel! No plugging and unplugging wires, and trying to arrange all the pieces and wires to avoid RF pickup and other issues. Just turn it on and open! Voila! You are on the air! EASY! Who does not like easy? This is especially nice for those of you who don't want to fiddle around with all of the pieces and connecting wires. What a rats nest! NO LONGER! Check it out!

It's an MMX, plus...
The transceiver has all of the features of the MMX, with all three plugins installed (80, 40, and 20 meters). The power system is charged via a USB 3.0 C connector from an included solar panel, or via an included AC USB wall plug, or any USB 2.0 female connector. Power requires for maximum charge rate: 5V at 2+ amps. Battery level is displayed on the main screen, and the system will automatically power down when the battery voltage level goes to the minimum level specified by the battery manufacturer. Charging of course likewise does a careful process that limits the battery voltage and current maximums as specified by the manufacturer. This BMS feature prevents over and under charge, as well as excessive current into our out of the battery system.
Dual Mode Support
The MMX Nomad also supports External Mode: connect to an external transceiver, using its receiver and transmitter instead of the built-in transceiver. Now, you are free to use ANY BAND your external transceiver works on! No more band limitations! And probably more power and perhaps a better receiver, as well. So the Nomad is a dual function computer system, with three microprocessors combining their processing capability to give you the standard in decoding ability, even in heavy noise and the standard in encoding ability with frequency memories, automatic station ID and call sign capture, type-ahead buffer and auto speed control with a typing test built in, and micro-programs aka macros.
Audio and RF Power
While there is a built-in speaker amplifier and speaker, a headphone jack is also provided, which, when used, disconnects the speaker.
The high power mode increases the power output (and reduces the battery charge more rapidly). Expect to see from 50 to 75 percent more power output in this mode, up to 5-6 watts, depending on band and frequency within the band. A single letter H or M for high and medium indicates the power level on the main screen.
And an Auxiliary Connector
The auxiliary connector includes the Transmit/Receive line for controlling an external RF power amplifier, and CW IN and CW OUT lines for use by external devices to assist the deaf, blind or other physical limitations. It also includes the KEY IN line, also available on the KEY IN/OUT jack.
Battery Life and Care
The battery system includes four Li-Ion 21700 5000 mah batteries. Because of the built-in BMS, no particular care is required. At end of life, the batteries can be replaced.
Operating time with the built-in batteries: receive-only, over 80 hours. Mixed use with typical transmit/receive ratios, over 40 hours. So for a typical maximum use per day of 4 hours, that is 20 days and 10 days - quite a good margin for a weekend or hike into the woods. You don't even need the PreppComm Solar Battery or the Folding Solar Panel, unless you are out in the wild for a long time, or forget to turn the Nomad off, for example.
Battery life is measured in years. We anticipate you should start seeing a gradual decline in charge capacity after 2-3 years, and useful life out to 10 years.
