50 W VHF Re-broadcast system
The Barrett PRC-2083+ Re-broadcast system is typically used to link two low band VHF networks providing extended range to overcome communication difficulties due to distance or terrain. The two networks can use different security options (frequency hopping and encryption) providing a field deployable interoperability solution.
The re-broadcast system utilizes two PRC-2084+ 50 Watt systems and incorporates a nine band co-location filter assembly and AC/DC power supply with battery backup facilities all housed in a MIL-SPEC ruggedised transportable case allowing for easy deployment in any field environment.
The standard package comprises:
Communication modes
The PRC-2080+ Tactical VHF radio system has multiple levels of encryption and frequency hopping security available. Analogue voice and digital unencrypted data are fitted as standard.
The following levels of encryption are available:
Simple to use
For basic operation of the PRC-2080+, only the front panel controls are required. Field programming, advanced menu options, selective calling and group calling features are accessible via the PRC-2080’s supplied advanced handset.
