19" Rack High Power Radios

ABOUT THE 19″ Rack Radios;

To differentiate between different forces and thus various color finishes, we’ve named them;

  • The HAWK-1+ radio is powder-coated in a Light Sky Grey for GTA/AIR FORCE applications.
    112-160Mhz and 225-400Mhz; AM 50W and in FM, 200W
  • The SHARK1-VU+  radio is powder-coated in a Dark Grey for NAVAL  applications.
    30Mhz to 512Mhz; AM 25W and in FM, 75W
  • The BADGER1+ radio is powder-coated in an Olive Drab or Desert Tan for ARMY  applications.
    30Mhz to 512Mhz; AM 25W and in FM, 75W

The 19″ Rack Mountable Radios has a 150% larger Screen and a much larger keypad compared to the L:eopard1 and Cheetah3 manpack radios.

The control head with the external speaker fits into a  19″ Rack.

A narrower option of 14.5″ mounting in vehicles and aircraft is possible by simply unmounting the external speaker.

The control head includes is a 2-way antenna switch that would switch between the VHF and UHF bands for a typical airband antenna connection.

Most inputs and outputs are routed also to the rear of the control head, thereby cleaning up the look when rack mounted.

The HAWK-1 meets the ICAO specifications in AM Airband communications.
