The RF-7800M-V150 is a 50-watt Vehicular Amplifier Adapter (VAA) for use with a separately procured RF-7800M-MP manpack radio. Designed for longrange applications and increased communications reliability, the RF-7800M-V150 provides 50 watts from 30 to 450 MHz and 20 watts from 450 MHz to 2 GHz, supporting both narrowband and wideband waveforms up to 5 MHz bandwidth. The single-unit VAA is extremely low-profile and can be deployed in multiple configurations, including as a single unit, or in a dual-unit configuration mounted in the Universal SINCGARS Interface Module (USIM). The VAA features separate VHF, UHF, and wideband antenna ports with automatic port switching, providing the radio system with true multimission capability. The operator only needs to select the required preset on the radio to switch between ground, ground-to-air, and wideband networking communications. Other features provided by the RF-7800M-V150 include: VHF (30 to 90 MHz) and UHF (200 to 400 MHz) collocation filters, internal LNA, VIC-1 and VIC-3 interface, wideband PA control interface, and external power output to power accessories such as a loudspeaker or battery charger. The VAA provides a mechanism to lock the manpack radio for physical security. |
