Vehicle AdapterFor the AN/PRC-148 Multiband Inter/Intra Team Radios

The compact, rugged Vehicle Adapter (VA) for thecombat-provenAN/PRC-148 family of radios provides20Watts of RF power amplification across the full 30-512MHz frequency band. The VA opens up a broad range ofsecure and anti-jamming voice and data applications forthemostadvancedhandheldradio inoperation.Weighing12 pounds with the radio installed, the VA can be easilyintegratedintoair, land,andsea-basedplatforms.TheVAchassisprovides interfaces forpowersources,antennas,intercoms,anddatadevices.Theinternalbatterychargerrecharges the Lithium-Ion battery of the radio, allowinga user to dismount the radio from the VA fully chargedand immediately operational. The VA enables cable-freeradio dismounting within two seconds. The RemovableControl Head with LCD display provides remote controlof all radio functions and includes a microphone and aconnector for an audio accessory. A tunable 30-512MHz co-site filter system, integrated within the chassis,reduces interference between co-located units. Thisgreatly enhances the performance of two co-locatedVAsservingaseither independentradiosorasarepeater forforwardingthesignalsofcompatibleradios.TheVAisalsoavailableina50Wattversion.Rapid, seamless transition from mounted to dismounted operations without losing communications.
