The MICOM-1 HF-SSB Rapid Deployment Package (RDP) unit,is a complete HF system enclosed in a rugged suitecase. The RDP is convenient for transportation and fast installation/removal, thus providing quick setup of HF-SSB communications. The basic RDP configuration includes a transceiver and a control panel which are interconnect by means of a specil smart serial data bus. The serial bus tecnique in conjunction with special mechanical design enables internal connection (as factory option or field retrofit kit) of the Automatic Link Establishmeant (ALE) optional board. It also enables implementation of any future option, instead of the ALE, without any hardware or software modifications. It should be noted that it is possible to add more than one option by means of an external option housing to be connected to the RDP system connector. The RDP operates in the 2-30 MHz frequency range with a power output of 125W PEP and average for voice and data operation. The RDP has 126 operator selectable channels which may be rogrammed for either simplex or half-duplex operation. In channel programming the parameters of the pre-set channels are set as follows: - Operating frequency (symples or half-duplex). - Mode of operation: SSB, AME or PLT in either USB or LSB. - Output power (25 W, 60 W, 100 W, 125 W ). A two-positio program switch with removable key can be locked to prevent unauthorized access to the programming mode. When the RDP is switched off or during power failure all channels parameters and the most recent operating status are stored in non-volatile memory (EPROM). The special Build-In Test Equipment (BITE) provides quick troubleshooting of the RDP. When the RDPis switched on the test cycle is automatically preformed. A user-friendly keyboard and Vacum Fluorescent Display (VFD) facilitate RDP operation, channel programming and BITE activation. The reference frequency source of the system is oven-stabilized for maintaining its rated frequency stability. The RDP consists of fully solid-state components of the highest integration density and of state-of-the-art modules with the latest SMD (surface mounted devices) tecnology. The RDP is designed for rugged environment encountered while transporting on trucks, planes (under a seat), or boats. The suitcase is made of heavy gauge aluminium and is splash proof and dust resistant. The transceiver, control panel and power supply are shock mounted.
