RF-5800H-MP

Equipment Description

The RF-5800H-MP is an advanced High Frequency (HF) radio which operates from 1.6MHz to 29.9999MHz using skywave modulations (Upper Sideband [USB], Lower Sideband [LSB], Continuous Wave [CW], Amplitude Modulation Equivalent [AME]) with selectable low (1 watt), medium (5 watts) and high (20 watts [10 watts FM]) output power. RF-5800H-MP operates from 20.000MHz to 59.9999MHz in Frequency Modulation (FM). Communications can take place with manpack, mobile and fixed-site radio configurations.

Features

The RF-5800H-MP offers the following features:

• Supports digital security based on optional Harris Citadel or Datotek encryption.
• Last Ditch Voice (LDV) (in 3G only) allows the radio to deliver digital voice under very poor conditions and be saved at the receiving radio end.
• Supports MIL-STD-188-141A Automatic Link Establishment (ALE)
• Supports STANAG 4538 Automatic Radio Control System (ARCS) link set-up and data link protocols in 3G radio mode.
• Supports enhanced Electronic Counter Couter Measure (ECCM) - frequency hopping in HF (narrowband, wideband and list).
• Provides accurate Time-Of-Day and geographic location information through the optional built-in Global Positioning System (GPS).
• Supports full remote control RS-232 / RS-422 or Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) from a customer-supplied remote control terminal.
• Supports networking capability using PPP or Ethernet.
• Supports Wireless Internet Protocol (IP) data transfer when operating in STANAG 4538 (3G).
• Supports operation in 3G+ Mode which allows the radio to receive and place ALE and 3G calls without switching modes.
