The RF-5800H-V006 is a 20-watt vehicular adapter that

provides the ability to locate the antenna coupler at the

antenna in vehicular and shipboard applications. The system

allows a standard RF-5800H-MP or AN/PRC-150(C) HF/VHF

manpack radio to directly connect to an RF-5382H Antenna

Coupler without an external power amplifier. The RF-5800H-

V006 is designed for applications that require low power, short-

range Beyond-Line-Of-Site (BLOS) communications.

The adapter consists of a shock mount with an attached

distribution unit. The distribution unit provides conditioning of

external power so that the system can be directly connected to

vehicular power. The unit also handles routing of antenna

coupler control signals so that the standard RF-5382H control

cable can be used. Additionally, it provides switched auxiliary

power for external equipment, such as the RF-5980-SA001

tactical speaker. The adapter is designed so that the transceiver

can be quickly removed and converted into a manpack

configuration.

The system is designed for the tactical environment and

meets the same stringent environmental requirements of the

Falcon® II radios and antenna couplers.
