PRC-4090 HF SDR Transceiver
Tactical software-defined radio, redefined
The Barrett PRC-4090 HF SDR Transceiver is the centerpiece of the Barrett range of tactical HF communications equipment. It combines Software-Defined Radio technology with the intuitive “ease of use” that has become synonymous with the Barrett name. When teamed with other Barrett HF products, the versatile Barrett PRC-4090 transceiver provides secure email, data transfer and telephone connectivity within a HF network and outwards to international telephone and internet networks.
The Barrett PRC-4090 transceiver can be controlled from all major mobile and desktop platforms including iOS, Android and Windows devices for wireless voice and radio control via the 4000 series HF remote control app.
Features
Lightweight and compact design
Using the latest lightweight alloys, the PRC-4090 weighs 2.95kg. Its small physical size, one of the smallest on the market, makes it comfortable to wear and operate when deployed as a tactical manpack. The manpack is 5.0kg with Barrett advanced 16 Ah, quick change Li-ion battery.
Extended operation time
The Barrett 16Ah advanced Li-ion battery provides the PRC-4090 transceiver up to 64 hours Rx (only) operation, and up to 21 hours Rx/Tx is possible in a 90/10 duty cycle. The battery includes inbuilt charge management allowing for charging in operation or separately from any available 24V d.c. source, including solar panels and hand crank generators.
Display
The display is a super bright, high definition 24-bit colour touchscreen which provides optimal viewing ability in all lighting conditions. It provides access to the most advanced and intuitive HF radio interface on the market. The PRC-4090 software has four separate theme modes for use in different ambient light conditions. The screen can also be turned into landscape format via the user interface, if required.
Control handset
The fully featured tactical control handset is remotely connected to the transceiver unit. This enables the operator to wear the display unit on their person and have full operational control of the manpack without needlessly dismounting the manpack transceiver unit itself. It can also be used in conjunction with H250 handsets.
The PRC-4090 manpack ships with a handset cradle including Molle attachment for use on webbing or any Molle compatible equipment. The handset can be docked in the cradle in reverse for tactical operation.
