CAPA B I L I T I E S

Automatic Link Establishment (ALE)

Real-time Frequency management ALE ensures reliable communications under rapidly changing propagation conditions by continuously evaluating the frequency set. The optimal requency is selected automatically, and the link is quickly established. The HF-6000 family provides both MIL-STD-188-141B ALE (optional) for interoperability with other MIL-STD-188-141B stations, as well as AutoCall (standard),a Tadiran Communicationsdeveloped function delivering faster and more reliable link establishment. AutoCall is recommended when greater tactical efficiency, responsiveness and operational ease are critical.

Digital Squelch

The digital Active Squelch mutes the annoying noise traditionally associated with HF communications. As a result, the HF-6000 family not only eliminates false alarms and misdetections, but also supports connection to vehicular intercom systems and to HF-VHF relay stations.

Selective Calling

This feature allows the operator to address a message to selected members of the network. The message can be addressed to an individual member, a group, or the entire network. Selective Calling is applicable in CLEAR, Frequency Hopping, COMSEC and Frequency Management modes.

Data Communications (optional)

A built-in high rate modem supports flexible and reliable data transmissions. A high probability of error-free data transfer, even under harsh communication conditions, is assured by modem optimization and the use of power error detection techniques and correction codes. The modem utilizes several wave forms, including: Single tone, 39 tone and Programmable FSK, compatible with MIL-STD-188-110A, STANAG-4285 and MFSK. The modem operates at a data rate from 50 b/s to 4800 b/s. The received message is displayed on the radio front panel (mini terminal).

COMSEC - Communication Security (optional)

The built-in COMSEC ensures Secure Voice, Data and Burst communications. Voice communications are scrambled in the frequency, time and phase domains, eliminating residual intelligibility or digital encryption when the radio includes high rate Modem and Vocoder. Data and Burst communications are digitally encrypted via the internal MFSK Modem, achieving a very high level of security.

ECCM - Frequency Hopping (optional)

The advanced circuitry featured by the HF-6000 family enables frequency hopping over the entire frequency band, supporting full selection of suitable propagating frequencies (adaptive frequency hopping) and more reliable and successful operations in densely jammed environments. The HF-6000 employs automatic synchronization to eliminate the need for vulnerable master stations. It delivers immediate operational readiness without any cumbersome, time-consuming synchronization processes. The HF-6000 ensures a very high probability of synchronization even under severe jamming conditions. HF-6000 ECCM is applicable with the system’s Voice, Data and Burst communications.

Vocoder (optional)

The Vocoder is based on the Mixed Excitation Linear Prediction (MELP) coder, which is the new 2400 bps US Federal Standard for DOD. The Vocoder operates at two rates: 1200 and 2400 b/s. Featuring speech compression methods tailored to the HF channel conditions, Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Frame Synchronization, the built-in Vocoder provides improved Intelligibility, Voice Quality, Reconizability and Communicability in comparison with traditional LPC-10 Vocoders.

Dual Frequency (optional)

The Dual Frequency capability supports reception and transmission on different frequencies. Reliable communications can be established when the same channel frequency cannot be used by stations because of poor link quality.

FLASH - Burst (optional)

Pre-programmed FLASH messages are easily edited via the radio keyboard. After editing, the messages are rapidly transmitted via the internal modem to the designated net station. FLASH Messages are transmitted at below voice intelligibility conditions, supported by a power error correction code. An acknowledge signal is returned upon successful message reception. A built-in data terminal capability enables the display of messages on the radio’s front panel display.

Adaptive Capabilities

Adaptive high rate modem (optional)

This feature uses adaptive methods for matching the data transmission rate and modem type to the quality of the HF link. This results in a considerable increase in the effective data throughput for a typical HF link.

Adaptive Power Control (optional)

Adaptive Power Control (APC) enables output power to be automatically adapted to communication conditions, assuring the lowest transmit power level and the lowest power consumption for the most reliable communication. The APC operates at PRC- 6020 in Autocall Voice Communication.

Frequency Range: 1.5000 to 29.9999 MHz
