1 Description and Performance
1.1 Purpose
The radio, carried by the personnel, is designed to provide tactical communications
both in stationary and battlefield conditions.
The radio provides the possibility to transmit and receive voice and data (digital
information) while operating on the fixed frequencies (non-ECCM mode) and in the ECCM
mode.
ECCM mode of operation is intended to provide radio communication in conditions of
hostile interference setup. Protection from hostile interference is done using the frequency-
hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) mode. Frequency hopping is 312.5 per second. In the
FHSS mode the radio is interoperable with radios of the same type or other radios that are
compatible on data communications protocol in aggregate bandwidths.
While operating on fixed frequencies the radio is compatible with the older radio
systems.
The radio operates in the following modes:
- single-frequency simplex (transceiving on the same frequency while operating on
fixed frequencies, or tranceiving on the same set of radio data in the FHSS mode);
- half-duplex (receive on the one frequency and transmission on the another
frequency while operating on fixed frequencies, or receive on the one set of radio data and
transmission on the another set of radio data in FHSS mode);
- single-frequency simplex (half-duplex) in one radio network and stand-by receive in
the anoter one;
-stand-by power saving receive;
- radiodata entry.
While operating on fixed frequencies and in the FHSS mode the radio provides
transceiving of the following:
-voice information from the telephone headset or directly from the tranceiver;
-data with the rates of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 bps from the PC or other devices
at the RS-232 interface;
-SMS messages;
-individual (selective), circular (group) and tone calls.
4424.027.61 p.5
Stand-by power saving receive is advisable to be used to extend operating time of
the radio from one battery pack without recharging.
While operating on fixed frequencies, voice information is transmitted in:
-F3 analog form, which provides connection of the radio through the link with the
radios of other types, older radio systems in particular;
-F1 digital form. Analog voice is converted into digital form by embedded CVSD-
delta codec. The rate of converted voice information is 16000bps.
In the FHSS mode voice information is transmitted only with conversion into digital
form (CVSD) in the F1 class.
Voice information, converted into digital one, either on fixed frequencies or in the
FHSS mode can be transmitted with technical masking or without it. Technical masking can
also be used during data communications. Technical masking is ensured by the built-in
voice-masking device.
The radio provides radio coverage on medium-cross country while the object,
equipped with the radio, is stopped or on the move, with the range of not less than 4-5 km.
Shorted antenna is intended to enhance the radio operation while providing the
communication over several hundred meters range.
The radio can operate on not more than 16 preprogrammed channels on fixed
frequencies (channels 1 to 16), and on not more than 16 preprogrammed channels in the
FHSS mode (channels 17 to 32). The selection of preprogrammed channel is done, using the
buttons on the front panel.
While operating the radio, it is possible to control it and enter radiodata from the PC,
as well as Radio Data Storage and Entry Unit (fillgun) on the RS-232 interface.
The power supply is provided by the (7.2-7.4) V Battery Pack.
1.2 Technical Specifications
1.2.1Frequency Band and Channel Spacing
a) The radio provides continuous coverage in the 30 MHz to 110 MHz frequency
band;
b) Channel spacing on fixed frequencies is 12,5 kHz.
ATTENTION! While operating the older radios or radios of other type, channel
spacing should be appropriate or not less than 12, 5 kHz.
c) Channel spacing in the FHSS mode is 25 kHz
4424.027.61 p.6
1.2.2 Transmitter Specifications:
The power output is the following:
-Nominal power output (2 0,4)W;
-Low power output
Attention! When the radio is in use, it should be noted that the more output power is,
the longer the operating distance is. In nominal power output it is ranged up to 5 km and in
the low power output the operating distance is ranged up to 3 km. However, the more output
power is, the less operating time is, when the radio operates from the battery pack without
recharging, and the line masking is low too. It is advisable to select optimal power output
level when the radio is in use. Shorted antenna is intended to enhance the radio operation
while providing the communication over several hundred meters range.
1.2.3 Harm
1.2.4 Frequency deviation of the transmitter while operating in the F1, F3 classes
should be kHz.
1.2.5 Receiver Specifications:
Sensitivity of the receiver while receiving F3 class radio signal, is not more 0,5 V for
12 dB SINAD.
Sensitivity of the receiver while receiving F1 class radio signal, measured from its
high-frequency input in test signal modulation of digital pseudorandom sequence (215-1) and
-2 is not worse:
-0,5 V while receiving data with the rate of 1200, 2400, 4800 bps
-0,7 V while receiving data with the rate of 9600 bps
Sensitivity attenuation of the signal receiver at the IF image is not less 60 dB, and at
the 1st IF is not less 70 dB.
Intermodulation selectivity of the receiver, measured by the three-signal method, is
not less 60 dB.
The receiver is equipped with the embedded squelch with operation threshold not
more than 1,5 V.
1.2.6 The radio ensures performance control of the embedded fault detection
system, which detects malfunctioning unit accurate within the Standard Substitute Element.
1.2.7 The average number of frequency hops in the FHSS mode is 312.5 per
second.
1.2.8 Power Sources
4424.027.61 p.7
Power supply is ensured by the Battery Pack. The radio provides settings if nominal
voltage of the battery pack is (7,2-7,4)V. Performance control of the battery is done by the
embedded control system. The results are shown on the radio display (front panel of the
Transceiver Unit). Continuous operation time from fully charged battery pack is not less 10
hrs, in transmission time/receive/standby receive ratio as 1:2:8.
1.2.9 Environmental Conditions
The radio operates in the following environmental conditions:
temperature of ambient air is in the range - C);
C);
air pressure is from 60 Pa to 113 P(from 450 to 850 mm.m.c).

Data communication is provided by the PC or special equipment. The PC or special
equipment is connected to the radio via ATA
radio. Data communication between the radio and the PC and special equipment is available
through the RS-232 interface. Radio operator should choose the data rate from the
permissible range of bit rates, i.e.: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 bps. Interface data rate between
the radio and the PC (special equipment) should be 115200 bps.
To operate the radio, all radio components should be taken off from the shipping
container, unpacked and connected according to the radio assembly drawing. Radio
Assembly Drawing is shown in Figure1 and Battery Chargers Assembly Drawing is presented
in Figure 2.
The radio can be carried in the -- Carrying bag radio (hereinafter
referred to as the bag), which makes it easy to use and operate it in the battlefield. The
overall view is presented in Figure 3. The scheme of placing the radio components into the
bag is illustrated in Figure 4.
4424.027.61 p.12
While placing the radio components into the bag, it should be taken into
consideration that:
a) Transceiver, connected to the Battery Pack, should be first placed into the -
01-- Cover for the transceiver (hereinafter referred to as Cover for the transceiver)
and then put into the bag;
b) Battery Pack (reserved) should be first placed into the -01--002 Cover
for battery pack (hereinafter referred to as Cover for battery pack) and then put into the bag;
The bag is carried using the special strap, which is included into the bag kit.
Cover for the transceiver is designed to carry the radio in operating condition. Its
overall view is presented in Figure 5. The cover ensures carrying the Transceiver together
with the following connected devices:
-Battery Pack;
-Antennas (ANT-R002PP antenna and ANT-R002PP-01 shorted antenna);
-Headset;
-UX1 cable (for data communications).
Cover, in which the Transceiver is placed together with connected devices, can be
carried: a) on the shoulder, using special sling, which is included in the cover kit;
b) on the belt.
Cover for battery pack is designed to carry the reserved battery pack, during the
radio performance. Its overall view is presented in Figure 6. The cover is carried on the belt.
