Description

The power-boosting Base Station for the combat-proven AN/PRC-148 family of radios provides a cost-effective fixed site configuration. The Base Station provides 20 Watts of RF power amplification across the full 30-512 MHz frequency band while allowing for a wide range of AC and DC input power sources. With a common human machine interface, users familiar with any of the AN/PRC-148 family products can immediately operate the Base Station. This commonality also translates into a simpler sustainment concept and faster repair times because fewer elements need to be stocked for field or depot repair. This results in lower life cycle costs to support the Base Station as well as the complete AN/PRC-148 family of products.  Full AN/PRC-148 and Vehicle Adapter functionality for fixed applications.
