The RF-5800H-V006 is a 20-watt vehicular adapter that provides the ability to locate the antenna coupler at the antenna in vehicular and shipboard applications. The system allows a standard RF-5800H-MP or AN/PRC-150(C) HF/VHF manpack radio to directly connect to an RF-5382H Antenna Coupler without an external power amplifier. The RF-5800HV006 is designed for applications that require low power, shortrange Beyond-Line-Of-Site (BLOS) communications. The adapter consists of a shock mount with an attached distribution unit. The distribution unit provides conditioning of external power so that the system can be directly connected to vehicular power. The unit also handles routing of antenna coupler control signals so that the standard RF-5382H control cable can be used. Additionally, it provides switched auxiliary power for external equipment, such as the RF-5980-SA001 tactical speaker. The adapter is designed so that the transceiver can be quickly removed and converted into a manpack configuration.
