MELP AND LPC-10, 600/2400 BPS DIGITAL VOICE
AN/PRC-150(C)
The AN/PRC-150(C) is an advanced, nomenclatured HF/VHF
manpack radio that provides reliable tactical communications through
U.S. government Type-1 encryption for enhanced secure voice
and data performance, reduced size/weight, and extended battery
life. The removable Keypad Display Unit enables operation on the
move with the transceiver stowed in the user’s backpack. The AN/
PRC-150(C) HF-SSB/VHF-FM transceiver covers 1.6 to 60 MHz at
20 watts PEP/Average for HF and 10 watts for VHF. Modes include
USB, LSB, CW, AME, and FM. Two types of encryption are included
in this radio, U.S. government Type-1 and coalition encryption.
A simple, menu-driven, man-machine interface makes operation
easy. Seventy-five user-defined net presets provide complete radio
configuration, including radio operating mode, modem settings,
COMSEC and TRANSEC keys. This unit is interoperable with nonType-1 radios in secure mode with radios that include standard
Citadel encryption in both the HF and VHF bands. The unit is also
interoperable in non-secure mode in fixed frequency and ALE with
other HF and VHF radio systems. Additional standard features
include a removable Keypad Display Unit, 24 VDC or self-contained
battery operation, and RS-232 ASCII remote control. Finish/Color:
CARC Green 383
Features
ENCRYPTION
Two types of embedded encryption are included in this radio:
U.S. government Type-1 and Coalition. The Type-1 encryption is
interoperable with KY-99, KY-100, and KG-84 cryptos for HF systems
and KY-57 crypto for VHF systems. Coalition encryption is based on
the Harris Citadel encryption and can be used to interoperate with
RF-5800H radio systems in secure mode.
The digital voice mode utilizes the latest military MELP and LPC-10
algorithms for high-quality secure narrowband voice at 2400 bps. The
Harris 600 bps vocoders extend the communication range beyond
conventional 2400 bps systems.
MIL-STD-188-141B, APPENDIX A AUTOMATIC LINK
ESTABLISHMENT (ALE)
ALE allows the transceiver to automatically locate the best available
channel and link with a desired station or net. The radio also provides
AL-1 Linking Protection.
STANAG 4538 THIRD GENERATION HF LINK AUTOMATION
The latest integrated high-performance Automated Link
Establishment (ALE) and data link protocols provide superior linking
and error-free data performance. Fast link setup (FLSU) protocol
suite is supported.
TACTICAL INTERNET
Tactical Internet is an embedded wireless networking capability that
provides the ability to connect outside IPV4 devices and applications
over HF circuits. It utilizes third generation HF Link Automation to
efficiently route secure IP-based traffic.

The RF-5382H automatically matches the output of transceivers
and power amplifiers to a wide variety of whip, dipole, and longwire
antennas over the frequency range of 1.6 to 30 MHz. The coupler
features BIT, overload, and lightning surge protection and is
designed to handle 150 watts PEP/Average and includes a 50ohm output connector (type N female) for applications where it is
desirable to quickly change from tuning a whip antenna to tuning a
50-ohm antenna. It provides automatic switching to the 50-ohm port
for VHF (30 to 60 MHz) operation. Typical tune time is 150 msec
after an initial learning tune cycle of typically less than one second.
When used in 125-watt and 150-watt configurations, the antenna
coupler requires lengths of 10181-9824 coaxial cable and 120201460 control cable. Standard lengths are 25, 75, 150, and 250 feet
(~7.6, 23, 46, 76 meters). Use the RF-5800H-V006 Vehicular Adapter
for 20-watt configurations with lengths of 10369-7211 Coaxial Cable
and 12020-1460 Control Cable. The antenna coupler must be
installed onto RF-5384-VM-01 shock mount when deployed in mobile
applications.
The RF-382A-15 automatically matches the output of transceivers
and power amplifiers to a wide variety of whip, dipole, and longwire

Instruction Manual
The RF-1912T-AT101 is a transportable fan dipole antenna with
telescoping mast that includes all the components needed to transport
and temporarily install the antenna. The antenna is capable of 1 kW
maximum operation from 1.6 to 30 MHz and has been optimized for
both NVIS communications between 1.6 and 10 MHz and mediumrange skywave out to 1200 km for 10 to 30 MHz. The element length
and height above ground has been designed to optimize take-off-angle
for HF skywave propagation. It can also be configured as a top-loaded
monopole for short-range groundwave and long-range skywave. The
antenna achieves near 100% radiation efficiency because it does not
contain any resistive loads. Broadband operation requires an antenna
coupler.
