DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. System Description
A basic KHF 1050 HF Communication System consists of three
individual units: KAC 1052 Antenna Coupler, KPA 1052 Power
Amplifier, and KRX 1053 Receiver/Exciter. A compatible control
unit is also required. Control units compatible with the system
include the Gables PS440, Honeywell MCDU Multifunction Control
and Display Unit and Honeywell RM-855 Radio Management Unit.
NOTE: For complete installation information on the Gables
PS440 refer to the PS440 Control Display Unit
Installation Manual P/N 006-10655-0000.
For complete installation information on the MCDU
Multfuntion Control and Display Unit refer to the MCDU
Installation Manual P/N XXXX.
For complete installation information on the RM-855
Radio Management Unit refer to the RM-855 Installation
Manual P/N XXXX.

1.A. System Overview
The KHF 1050 HF voice and data communication system is a solid
state design with 200 watts (PEP) of output power, operating
at 28 Vdc. Frequency of operaton ranges between 2.0 and
29.9999 MHz with 100 Hz resolution. Systems may be strapped
to set the upper frequency limit to 22.9999 MHz.
NOTE: Operations are limited to 25 MHz for aircraft
installation by aeronautical mobile band frequency
limits.
A configuration is called a “dual system” when two KHF 1050
HF systems are installed in the same aircraft to share one
antenna. Both systems may receive simultaneously, but only one
system is chosen to transmit at any one time. An auto select
transmit scheme determines which system is selected to
transmit.
