AT RF2050 MultiBand Mobile Transceiver

AT RF2050 ECCM  mobile multiband transceiver, belonging to the AT RF20 family of multiband tactical radios with increased resistance to radioelectronic warfare, is designed for installation into any kind of tracked or wheeled vehicles. Small footprint, robust design and outstanding features add to its great utility, especially in modernization of the existing vehicular installations. AT RF2050 transceiver is produced in two variants: without co-site filter var. 01 and with co-site filter var.02. The built-in modem ensures data communication in tactical IP networks according to MIL-STD-188-220B.

Operating features

a) in all operation modes
• automatic self-test after power-up, with failure indication on the transceiver display (BITE);
• operational data programming from external units;
• emergency erasure of operation data on fixed frequency channels, including encryption unit codes and information for FH networks including
TRANSEC and COMSEC;
• acoustic signaling switching on/off by transceiver operator;
• transmission of tone calling (1000 ± 200) Hz, in VHF III band (1750 ± 25) Hz;
• display and keypad backlight;
• adjustable display contrast;
• transmission power signaling on the display, transmission signaling by LED on the top panel;
• operation channel signal reception signaling by a LED on the transceiver panel;
• transmitter overheat signaling LED on the transceiver panel with automatic switching to lower power output;
• signaling of active mode with co-site filter (version 2310.100.01);
• optional external cooling box for improved cooling efficiency;
• “reception only” mode, with transmission disabled;
• whisper mode with increased microphone sensitivity and decreased audio volume;
• loud received signal monitoring with volume regulation and LED signaling;
• configurable transceiver output for operation with antennas for VHF I, VHF II and VHF III tactical bands;
• displaying of servicing information – firmware;
• easy to control.

b) in fixed frequency mode
• max. 10 presets from the entire frequency range 25 MHz to 145.9875 MHz, fewer preset channels if occupied by FH networks;
• simplex or semi-duplex operation;
• 150 Hz sub-tone squelch or signal squelch (only signal in VHF II);
• voice operation via internal encryption unit compatible with RF13, RF20;
• transmission and reception of short encrypted messages – FLASH, with the opposite transceiver identification;
• channel parameter programming from keypad;
• preset channel scanning;
• data transmission according to MIL-STD-188-220B compatible with modems MD13.1, MD13.2;
• direct dialing when calling from transceiver to a fixed telephone network;
• operation frequency setting in 6.25 kHz, 8.33 kHz, 25 kHz or 1 MHz steps;
• transmission band for digital voice and data transmission 16 kbit/s according to STANAG 4204, edition 2.

c) in FH operation

• o p e r a t i o n  i n  f r e q u e n c y  r a n g e 3 0 . 0 0 0 MHz t o 87.975 MHz;
• secure operation TRANSEC and secret operation COMSEC;
• compatibility with RF20 transceiver;
• selectable frequency hopping operation mode – FH, DFF, FCS and MIX, or SFH, SDFF, SFCS and SMIX with quick transition to HLC, HLG or HLA;
• establishing of connection with fixed frequency transceivers through HLC and HLG monitoring;
• 121.500 MHz (HLA) frequency monitoring and transition to HLA with transmission disabled;
• late net entry with synchronization request;
• master transceiver switching depending on the network condition;
• transmission of warning message to all network participants;
• MASTER transceiver authentication request;
• MASTER transceiver selective communication with a selected slave transceiver;
• transmission and reception of short text message, maximum 156 characters;
• transmission over notification (BREAK IN) by MASTER transceiver;
• INTERLEAVING switching off for close-to-the-limits communication;
• data transmission at adjustable rates – 7100 bit/s, 4800 bit/s and 2400 bit/s.
