AT RF20 MultiBand Handheld Transceiver

AT RF20 ECCM handheld multiband transceiver with improved resistance to electronic warfare is designated for use at the lowest tactical command levels for all kinds of military units. Depending on the type of selected frequency band, the transceiver is able to communicate in HF band with frequency modulation, with VHF AT RF13 transceivers, AT RF2050 mobile transceivers and with airborne transceivers in Aircraft band I.

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;
• transmission of tone calling (1000 ± 200) Hz, in VHF III band (1750 ± 25) Hz;
• acoustic signaling switching on/off by transceiver operator;
• display and keypad backlight activation;
• adjustable display contrast;
• battery pack voltage signaling;
• transmission power signaling on the display, transmission signaling by LED on the top panel;
• "reception only" mode, with transmission disabled;
• whisper mode with increased microphone sensitivity and decreased audio volume;
• displaying of servicing information - firmware;
• easy to control;
• displaying of the data from GPS with connected GPR30 receiver on the transceiver display.

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;
